The book "Parlor Ponds: The Cultural Work of the American Home Aquarium, 1850-1970" by Judith Hamera offers a comprehensive examination of the cultural significance of home aquariums in America during the 19th and 20th centuries. The author argues that these tanks provided a powerful tool for managing the challenges of historical change, from urbanization to globalization, and were seen as both disposable and deeply loved by their owners. The book fills a gap in the field of animal studies by highlighting the tank's symbolic importance in modernity, using elements of exploration, technology, science, and rigorous observation to contain anxieties spawned by industrialization, urbanization, and imperialism. Through a range of sources, including advertisements, images, memoirs, public aquarium programs, and enthusiast publications, Hamera illustrates how the history of the aquarium illuminates complex attitudes towards nature, domestication, gender, alterity, and national conquest. She shows how the tank served as a window to an alien world, a theater for domestic melodrama, and a vehicle for fantastical undersea journeys, with its residents being viewed as both inscrutable and deeply loved. The book begins by exploring the origins of the home aquarium in the mid-19th century, when it was first introduced as a novelty item for the wealthy.
Книга «Parlor Ponds: The Cultural Work of the American Home Aquarium, 1850-1970» Джудит Хамера предлагает всесторонний анализ культурного значения домашних аквариумов в Америке в течение XIX и XX веков. Автор утверждает, что эти танки предоставили мощный инструмент для решения проблем исторических изменений, от урбанизации до глобализации, и рассматривались как одноразовые и глубоко любимые их владельцами. Книга заполняет пробел в области исследований животных, подчеркивая символическую важность танка в современности, используя элементы исследования, технологии, науки и строгого наблюдения, чтобы сдержать тревоги, порожденные индустриализацией, урбанизацией и империализмом. Через ряд источников, включая рекламу, изображения, мемуары, публичные аквариумные программы и публикации энтузиастов, Хамера иллюстрирует, как история аквариума освещает сложное отношение к природе, одомашниванию, полу, изменчивости и национальному завоеванию. Она показывает, как танк служил окном в инопланетный мир, театром для отечественной мелодрамы, а также средством для фантастических подводных путешествий, причем его жители рассматривались и как неисповедимые, и как глубоко любимые. Книга начинается с изучения происхождения домашнего аквариума в середине XIX века, когда он был впервые представлен в качестве нового предмета для богатых.
livre « Parlor Ponds : The Cultural Work of the American Home Aquarium, 1850-1970 » de Judith Hamera propose une analyse complète de l'importance culturelle des aquariums domestiques en Amérique au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles. L'auteur affirme que ces chars ont fourni un outil puissant pour faire face aux changements historiques, de l'urbanisation à la mondialisation, et ont été considérés comme jetables et profondément aimés par leurs propriétaires. livre comble une lacune dans le domaine de la recherche animale en soulignant l'importance symbolique du char dans la modernité, en utilisant des éléments de recherche, de technologie, de science et d'observation rigoureuse pour contenir les angoisses engendrées par l'industrialisation, l'urbanisation et l'impérialisme. À travers un certain nombre de sources, y compris des publicités, des images, des mémoires, des programmes d'aquarium publics et des publications de passionnés, Hamera illustre comment l'histoire de l'aquarium met en lumière les attitudes complexes envers la nature, la domestication, le sexe, la variabilité et la conquête nationale. Elle montre comment le tank a servi de fenêtre à un monde étranger, de théâtre pour le mélodrame national, ainsi que de moyen de voyage sous-marin fantastique, ses habitants étant considérés à la fois comme inexpérimentés et comme profondément aimés. livre commence par étudier l'origine de l'aquarium domestique au milieu du XIXe siècle, quand il a été présenté pour la première fois comme un nouveau sujet pour les riches.

Das Buch „Parlor Ponds: The Cultural Work of the American Home Aquarium, 1850-1970“ von Judith Hamera bietet eine umfassende Analyse der kulturellen Bedeutung von Heimaquarien in Amerika im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Der Autor argumentiert, dass diese Panzer ein mächtiges Werkzeug zur Bewältigung der Herausforderungen historischer Veränderungen von der Urbanisierung bis zur Globalisierung darstellten und von ihren Besitzern als einmalig und zutiefst geliebt angesehen wurden. Das Buch füllt eine Lücke in der Tierforschung, indem es die symbolische Bedeutung des Tanks in der Moderne hervorhebt und Elemente der Forschung, Technologie, Wissenschaft und strengen Beobachtung verwendet, um die durch Industrialisierung, Urbanisierung und Imperialismus verursachten Ängste einzudämmen. Durch eine Reihe von Quellen, darunter Werbung, Bilder, Memoiren, öffentliche Aquarienprogramme und begeisterte Publikationen, veranschaulicht Hamera, wie die Geschichte des Aquariums die komplexe Beziehung zu Natur, Domestizierung, Geschlecht, Variabilität und nationaler Eroberung beleuchtet. Es zeigt, wie der Panzer als Fenster in eine fremde Welt diente, als Theater für das heimische Melodram sowie als Vehikel für fantastische Unterwasserreisen, wobei seine Bewohner sowohl als undurchschaubar als auch als zutiefst geliebt galten. Das Buch beginnt mit einer Untersuchung der Ursprünge des heimischen Aquariums in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, als es erstmals als neues Thema für die Reichen eingeführt wurde.

Judith Hamer'in "Parlor Ponds: The Cultural Work of the American Home Aquarium, 1850-1970'adlı kitabı, 19. ve 20. yüzyıllarda Amerika'daki ev akvaryumlarının kültürel öneminin kapsamlı bir analizini sunuyor. Yazar, bu tankların kentleşmeden küreselleşmeye kadar tarihsel değişimleri ele almak için güçlü bir araç sağladığını ve sahipleri tarafından tek kullanımlık ve derinden sevilen olarak görüldüğünü savunuyor. Kitap, modernitede tankın sembolik önemini vurgulayarak, sanayileşme, kentleşme ve emperyalizmin yarattığı kaygıları içermek için araştırma, teknoloji, bilim ve titiz gözetim unsurlarını kullanarak hayvan araştırmalarındaki bir boşluğu dolduruyor. Reklamlar, resimler, anılar, halka açık akvaryum programları ve meraklı yayınlar da dahil olmak üzere bir dizi kaynak aracılığıyla Hamera, akvaryumun tarihinin doğaya, evcilleştirmeye, cinsiyete, değişkenliğe ve ulusal fethe yönelik karmaşık tutumları nasıl aydınlattığını göstermektedir. Tankın yabancı dünyaya açılan bir pencere, yerli melodram için bir tiyatro ve fantastik sualtı yolculuğu için bir araç olarak nasıl hizmet ettiğini ve sakinlerinin hem esrarengiz hem de derinden sevildiğini gösteriyor. Kitap, ilk olarak zenginler için yeni bir konu olarak tanıtıldığı 19. yüzyılın ortalarında ev akvaryumunun kökenlerini inceleyerek başlıyor.
