I hope many of you will be able to join us for a talk by Dr. Benjam?n Schultz-Figueroa on his exciting new book, The Celluloid Specimen: Moving Image Research into Animal Life. More details below and attached. Hope to see you then, Mar?a Elena **************************** The Celluloid Specimen: Moving Image Research into Animal Life Dr. Benjam?n Schultz-Figueroa (Seattle University) When: Thursday, February 9, 2023, 4:00-5:30pm Where: CMU 202, Seattle campus In The Celluloid Specimen, Benjam?n Schultz-Figueroa examines rarely seen behaviorist films of animal experiments from the 1930s and 1940s. These laboratory recordings?including Robert Yerkes's work with North American primate colonies, Yale University's rat-based simulations of human society, and B. F. Skinner's promotions for pigeon-guided missiles?have long been considered passive records of scientific research. In Schultz-Figueroa's incisive analysis, however, they are revealed to be rich historical, political, and aesthetic texts that played a crucial role in American scientific and cultural history?and remain foundational to contemporary conceptions of species, race, identity, and society. Dr. Benjam?n Schultz-Figueroa is an Assistant Professor in Film Studies at Seattle University. His research focuses on the history of scientific filmmaking, nontheatrical film, and animal studies. Among other venues, his writing has been published in JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, Film History, Journal of Environmental Media. His book The Celluloid Specimen: Moving Image Research into Animal Life is due to be published by UC Press on February 28th, 2023. Co-sponsored by Comparative History of Ideas, Cinema & Media Studies, and the Simpson Center for the Humanities. -- Mar?aElena Garc?a Professor, Comparative History of Ideas Chair, Latin American and Caribbean Studies Adjunct Faculty in American Indian Studies, Anthropology, Geography, and Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies University of Washington B102 Padelford Hall, Box 354300 Seattle, WA 98195-4300 Phone: 206-221-0561 Fax: 206-543-7400 http://chid.washington.edu/people/maria-elena-garcia Pronouns: She/Her/Ella The University of Washington sits on the occupied homelands of Coast Salish peoples.
