A Red Herring: The Animal Body, Representation, and Historicity 2. Camera Hunting in America 3. The Photographic Blind 4. The Appearance of Animals: Abbott Thayer, Theodore Roosevelt, and Concealing-Coloration Conclusion: Developing Animals Notes IndexReviewsIn seeking to further our understanding of animal representations, Matthew Brower poses exactly the right question by asking not why we look at animals but how we look at them. Reframing the abundant and varied imagery of animals in nature in early American photography, he ably reveals how selective the rhetoric and vision of wildlife photography has now become. Developing Animals will have a real impact on contemporary debates about the representation of animals. -Steve Baker, author of Picturing the Beast Matthew Brower's historical survey is a subtle and complex analysis of how wildlife photography, as a particular kind of contact between human and animal, has been central to our seeing and thinking about animals. This is an indispensable contribution to contemporary work on animals, vision, and the philosophy of animal representation. -Jonathan Burt, author of Animals in Film """In seeking to further our understanding of animal representations, Matthew Brower poses exactly the right question by asking not why we look at animals but how we look at them.
