ANTHROP 4BB3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 19: Distant Relatives
Document Summary
Space and time that compose and create zoos: foucault heterotopia: an actual place that is at the same time a counter site that exists outside of all places, within but simultaneously remain unattached. Inversion of reality = unreality: which is likely why inds who are retired spend so much time at zoos what do they do w all this empty time (having both too much and too little of it) How different animals are categorized spatially (climate, genus, species) These relationships are superior to human relations as humans will do u dirty: his retirement was actually to fulfil his desire to be left alone. Zoo visits are a way of interacting with distant relatives, and also seeing how connections in shared origins of different species are compared spatially: the same way how we are all connected in a city. Interdependence of species through habitat reliance: can"t have one part without the other.
