"Gypsies", Natural Monogamy, and Violence Full of Love.Anthropomorphism as a Constitutive Element of the Construction of Non-human Subjectivity in Modern Central European Travel Narratives

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper examines modern knowledge concerning non-human primates in Czech travel narratives on Africa and biological journals from the late 19th century until the end of the interwar period. Attention is given particularly to the way discourse on primates and anthropological discourse mutually influenced each other. Inspired by the intersection of human-animal studies, critical race theory, and gender studies, the paper emphasizes the anthropomorphizing character of both biological discourse and popular travel narratives. Representations of primates created a specific anthropological resource and, at the same time, helped to naturalize the dominant racial and gender ideologies. In the context of Austrian-Hungarian and Czechoslovakian relative inability to obtain colonial possessions in the way western powers have, the representations of anthropomorphized non-human primates can also be interpreted as a specific field where Czech colonial fantasies about dominance have been expressed.
