Book Synopsis Entertaining Elephants by : Susan Nance
Download or read book Entertaining Elephants written by Susan Nance and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the lives and labors of nineteenth-century circus elephants shaped the entertainment industry. Consider the career of an enduring if controversial icon of American entertainment: the genial circus elephant. In Entertaining Elephants Susan Nance examines elephant behavior—drawing on the scientific literature of animal cognition, learning, and communications—to offer a study of elephants as actors (rather than objects) in American circus entertainment between 1800 and 1940. By developing a deeper understanding of animal behavior, Nance asserts, we can more fully explain the common history of all species. Entertaining Elephants is the first account that uses research on animal welfare, health, and cognition to interpret the historical record, examining how both circus people and elephants struggled behind the scenes to meet the profit necessities of the entertainment business. The book does not claim that elephants understood, endorsed, or resisted the world of show business as a human cultural or business practice, but it does speak of elephants rejecting the conditions of their experience. They lived in a kind of parallel reality in the circus, one that was defined by their interactions with people, other elephants, horses, bull hooks, hay, and the weather. Nance’s study informs and complicates contemporary debates over human interactions with animals in entertainment and beyond, questioning the idea of human control over animals and people's claims to speak for them. As sentient beings, these elephants exercised agency, but they had no way of understanding the human cultures that created their captivity, and they obviously had no claim on (human) social and political power. They often lived lives of apparent desperation.

Book Synopsis The Welfare of Performing Animals by : David A. H. Wilson
Download or read book The Welfare of Performing Animals written by David A. H. Wilson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book describes and analyses a neglected area of the history of concern for animal welfare, discussing the ends and means of the capture, transport, housing and training of performing animals, as well as the role of pressure groups, politics, the press and vested interests. It examines primary source material of considerable interdisciplinary interest, and addresses the influence of scientific and veterinary opinion and the effectiveness of proposals for supervisory legislation, noting the current international status and characteristics of present-day practice within the commercial sector. Animal performance has a long history, and at the beginning of the twentieth century this aspect of popular entertainment became the subject not just of a major public controversy but also of prolonged British parliamentary attention to animal welfare. Following an assessment of the use of trained animals in the more distant historical past, the book charts the emergence of criticism and analyses the arguments and evidence used by the opponents and proponents in Britain from the early twentieth century to the present, noting comparable events in the United States and elsewhere.

Book Synopsis Wild Animals in Circuses by : Great Britain: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Download or read book Wild Animals in Circuses written by Great Britain: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British circus industry dates back over two centuries and for many years wild animals were an integral part of the circus experience. In modern times the plight of animals has become a concern and today the view of the public as well as bodies such as the RSPCA is that travelling circuses are no place for wild animals, and the Government proposes primary legislation as set out in the draft Bill in this document. This legislation will end the use of wild animals in travelling circuses in this country and help ensure the nation's international reputation as a leading protector of animals continues into a new global era. As the process of introducing primary legislation is necessarily a long one the Government has already introduced the Welfare of Wild Animals in Travelling Circuses (England) Regulations 2012 which came into force on 20 January 2013. These Regulations will protect wild animals which stay in circuses in the short term. Two circuses so far have been licensed. However when it comes into force the ban in this draft Bill will supersede the Regulations.

Book Synopsis Circus Mania! by : Douglas McPherson
Download or read book Circus Mania! written by Douglas McPherson and published by Peter Owen Publishers. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the circus from its origins in the Roman times, through its establishment in Western Europe, and to the modern day circus—absolutely diverse and captivating Circuses have existed since Roman times, but centuries later, the circus world has never been more diverse and captivating, the global success of Cirque du Soleil testament to its enduring and universal appeal. Traditional family circuses for kids, arty cirque-style shows for adults, circuses in tents or in theaters, circuses with animals or without, cabaret-style hybrids on the burlesque circuit—this is an expert guide to their extraordinary history and culture. The circus requires a unique type of performer, people who blend the discipline of sports stars with the razzmatazz of showbiz; itinerant but clannish entertainers who have often had circus blood in their families for generations; world class gymnasts who risk death twice daily and help take down the big top afterwards. This history offers a journey into this unique world, each chapter an access-all-areas pass to a different circus, talking to the trapeze flyers, clowns, animal trainers, and showmen about their lives, work, families, customs, and traditions.
Book Synopsis Kyosai's Animal Circus by : Koto Sadamura
Download or read book Kyosai's Animal Circus written by Koto Sadamura and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compact and affordable bestiary of allegorical animals Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-89) delighted in the depiction of animals--crows with strong personalities, frogs in the schoolroom, rats on trapezes, cats in procession, elephants performing tricks--and frequently used them to satirize contemporary society. Having been trained as an academic painter, Kyosai would have been aware of traditions in which artists depicted creatures according to the laws of nature--the weak falling prey to the strong--as a commentary on actual society. He delighted in reversing such power relationships, frequently doing so to give an unexpected twist to the conventions of traditional imagery, and he seems particularly to have enjoyed giving smaller animals a chance to get their own back on their predators. Animal imagery has long occupied a significant place in Japanese art and literature. Each animal possesses a different symbolism for its special abilities or characteristics, and some are associated with deities, religious narratives, particular events or seasons of the year. Agile rabbits are sometimes featured in armor. Puppies were depicted not only for their cute appearance but also because they symbolize fertility and safe birth, and thus the prosperity of the family. "Humanized" creatures often appear in illustrated tales and in social satires. This enchanting book reveals a cavalcade of Kyosai's creatures from the renowned Israel Goldman Collection, with an introduction to the artist and his menagerie by Koto Sadamura, a leading authority on Kyosai.
