- Title
Hemingway and Akeley: Identity Formation and Hemingway's Naturalist Calling.
- Authors
Brown, Stephen Gilbert
- Abstract
Nurtured by the examples of Theodore Roosevelt Roosevelt, Louis Agassiz, and Carl Akeley, Ernest Hemingway discovered early in life his dual calling to wood-craft and word-craft-embodied in the callings of the naturalist-hunterfrontier scout and the naturalist story-teller. This essay explores the dioramas of Akeley in an effort to assess their influence on Hemingway's life and art, his complex identity, and his aesthetic ideology. I will use Donna Haraway's Primate Visions as a theoretical lens through which to "read" Akeley's dioramas and Hemingway's naturalist narratives, building on a body of relevant scholarship, while delving more deeply into the influence of Akeley, as yet not fully recognized by criticism.
