I enjoyed both the readings specially the Haraway reading , I liked the way it was creatively written . I found interesting how they described Taxidermy as a “craft of remembering this perfect experience. Realism was a supreme achievement of the art memory, a rhetorical achievement crucial to the foundation of western science” they wanted to tell the truth of nature an from this dream, Carl Akeley advanced the art of taxidermy. It became a process of recreation based on the principles of organic form. Diorama is definitely a story, told by a “photographer’s vision and a sculpture’s vision”, I don’t believe it’s the ultimate truth, but it is definitely a close story to it. more over I agree with Kortney’s statement :“ human fascination with different species being like us”. We believe we have the power to own a life and force one to live the way we want to. Raven’s story is seen in repeatedly times and we will keep happening if we keep pretending to educate animals.
