Lippit's Electric Animal

Two pieces:
138: Analysis of Alice in Wonderland: in the sequence with the Mock Turtle, we see pedagogy turned into "bodily and affective" pursuits - "Reeling and Writhing," etc. Nonsense? Subversion of human education into animal awakening?
195: Derrida on Freud's turn from the biological (1895) to the technological (1925)

Kids and medicine: Bibliographic notes

The Magic Kingdom

From Janet: Steven Watts' The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life talks about modernity and Disney. She thinks there is a Journal of American History article that's sort of a precis of the argument.

Animals and Modernity: Bibliographic Notes

Armstrong, Philip. What Animals Mean in the Fiction of Modernity (2008).

L. Frank Baum

Tip from Bridger: in The Magical Monarch of Mo, published 1898, a full-length children's fantasy novel by Baum, there is a land where there are sugar lakes, caramels grow on trees, and monkeys talk. Something about an instrumental/paradisical vision of nature - knowing how to get what you want from what there is? What about the talking monkeys? Wikipedia says that this book was supposed to be a sort of American Alice in Wonderland. What about The Wizard of Oz - how do I fit that in?

Animals as Children's Interior Selves

Chapter: Animals as children's "deep time" interiority?
Sled dogs
Ernest Thompson Seton
Susan Pearson's book on animal and child protection

Children adopt poor kids; animals

A chapter on the phenomenon of children "adopting" more unfortunate beings through newspaper campaigns, etc - like those elephants in Hansen's Animal Attractions, or Balto.

Possible foreign children they could exercise charity on:
Belgians during WWI - book about Hoover and Belgian relief? Janet says there is one.
Chinese, Indians during famines (see Davis)
Armenians during genocide??
Congolese during Leopold's reign
Japanese after 1923 earthquake - mentioned in Beverly Cleary's autobio

Read Adam Hochschild's Bury the Chains, on British anti-slavery movements? Definitely look again in King Leopold's Ghost for mentions of anti-Belgian children's books.
