- Title
The celluloid specimen: Moving images research into animal life.
- Abstract
"The Celluloid Specimen: Moving Images Research into Animal Life" by Benjamín Schultz‐Figueroa is a cross-disciplinary book that explores the films, politics, and policy of American psychologists Robert Mearns Yerkes, Neal Elgar Miller, and B. F. Skinner. The author provides QR codes to view select "celluloid specimens" online, which are scientific film ephemera related to behaviorist history. Schultz‐Figueroa examines the connection between these films and broader media infrastructures, as well as their role in upholding gendered and white supremacist social norms. The book employs an infrastructural model to analyze the films and their historical and cultural frameworks.
