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. 606 $aAnimals in motion pictures$y20th century 606 $aLaboratory animals 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies$2bisacsh 615 0$aAnimals in motion pictures 615 0$aLaboratory animals. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. 676 $a791.43/662 700 $aSchultz-Figueroa$b Benjamin, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01350535 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 912 $a9910682581503321 996 $aThe Celluloid Specimen$93088759 997 $aUNINA
