Disanimality
This article explores the problematic history of bringing together disability and animality, along with its potential. The aim is to introduce and develop the concept of disanimality, which is defined as "a disruptive affect, a feeling of discomfort, a site for critique, but also an opportunity for critical disability, animality, and human-animal studies to come together in more productive ways." The underlying question is why these fields have h…
Animality/ Posthumanism/ Disability
The significance of what it means to be human has become an explicit problem for many fields in literary and cultural studies today, from posthumanism and human-animal studies to disability studies and various forms of cultural studies focused on the historical and ongoing animalization of human populations. Whether self-identified as posthumanist or not, critical disability studies and critical race studies, for example, have revealed how constr…
Animalities
Representations of animality continue to proliferate in various kinds of literary and cultural texts. This pioneering volume explores the critical interface between animal studies and animality studies, human-animal studies, and posthumanism, marking out the terrain in relation to twentieth-century literature and film. The range of texts considered here is intentionally broad, answering questions like, how do contemporary writers such as Amitav G…

The Working-Class Beast
This chapter explores jungle discourse in terms of class relations at the turn of the twentieth century. The general shift from Protestant Christian thinking to the Darwinist-Freudian jungle is often seen as already in place at that historical moment. But constructions of the corporation were not necessarily animalized in ways we would recognize today. This chapter explores how class struggles could still be framed within Christian ethics, partic…
Progressive-Era Sexuality and the Nature of the Beast in Henry James
In Epistemology of the Closet, Eve Sedgwick argues that the discourse of sexuality shifted at the end of the nineteenth century from an emphasis on sexual acts to sexual identities. Sedgwick builds upon Foucault's famous declaration that the “species” of the homosexual was born at that moment. But Sedgwick and others working on histories of sexuality in the United States have elided the discourse of the jungle: Darwinist-Freudian constructions of…
Archaeology of a Humane Society
This chapter explores the problematic relationship between animality and U.S. race relations at the turn of the twentieth century. Engaging the work of critics and theorists such as Jacqueline Goldsby, Gail Bederman, and Marianna Torgovnick, the chapter highlights the significance of the “humane” movement for both animals and criminals in relation to shifting constructions of black and white identities. At the end of the nineteenth century, a new…
The Octopus and the Corporation
This chapter explores new ways of thinking about the marketplace as a jungle at the turn of the twentieth century. While constructions of the corporation were increasingly framed within the Darwinist-Freudian jungle, many texts at that historical moment actually resisted that discourse, even if they simultaneously contributed to survival-of-the-fittest thinking. Herbert Spencer's influence on Andrew Carnegie's The Gospel of Wealth (1900), for exa…
Between Species
This chapter focuses on the sexual history of “the beast” in relation to human and nonhuman animals in the work of Jack London. Bringing together the work of theorists and historians such as Eve Sedgwick, Michel Foucault, and George Chauncey, the chapter illustrates how attention to the discourse of the jungle unsettles influential readings of The Call of the Wild (1903) and The Sea-Wolf (1904). While London might generally be seen as epitomizing…
Black Savage, White Animal
Readings of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan of the Apes (1914) tend to conflate Tarzan’s “others,” suggesting that there is little difference between the apes and the savages he encounters or that the primary distinction to make is between Tarzan and everyone else. We are often told that Tarzan evolves from ape to savage to the epitome of a racist, sexist, imperialist, American man, who is defined by the restraint of his animal/savage instincts. Th…
Animal Legacies
The epilogue focuses on the reception of William Jennings Bryan’s anti-evolution arguments in the Scopes “Monkey Trial” of 1925, in contrast to his reputation as a progressive reformer at the turn of the century. Bryan’s objection to being characterized as an animal with “monkey” ancestors in the Scopes Trial reveals both the racist subtext of jungle discourse and the hegemony of that discourse by 1925. Ridiculed by writers such as H. L. Mencken,…
The Birth of a Jungle
Exemplifying a new methodology identified as “animality studies,” which focuses on constructions of animality at specific historical and cultural moments without the explicit emphasis on animal advocacy that is often found in animal studies, this book explores animality at the turn of the twentieth century in the United States. At that moment, shifts in what it meant to be both “human” and “animal” became crucial in terms of producing new ways of…
