The Showman and the Slave: Death and Memory in Barnum's America In this captivating story, Benjamin Reiss delves into the intricate web of race relations in the antebellum North through the lens of P. T. Barnum's infamous Joice Heth hoax. The book examines the first media spectacle in American history, which revolved around Heth, an elderly enslaved woman who was purported to be the 161-year-old former nurse of George Washington. By piecing together fragmented and contradictory evidence, Reiss crafts a vivid portrait of how people perceived history, the human body, social class, slavery, and death – and, by extension, themselves. As Reiss explores the various facets of American life, he uncovers the deep-seated obsession with race that permeated everyday experiences, from public memory to private fantasy. Through his historical detective work, he discovers a tantalizing connection between early mass culture and Heth's subtle mockery of her master. This enigmatic figure serves as a microcosm for understanding the evolution of technology and its impact on modern knowledge, highlighting the need for a personal paradigm to comprehend the technological process and its implications for humanity's survival.
Шоумен и раб: Смерть и память в Америке Барнума В этой увлекательной истории Бенджамин Рейсс углубляется в запутанную сеть расовых отношений на антебеллуме Севера через призму печально известной мистификации П. Т. Барнума Джойс Хет. В книге рассматривается первое в американской истории медийное зрелище, которое вращалось вокруг Хет, пожилой порабощенной женщины, которая якобы была 161-летней бывшей медсестрой Джорджа Вашингтона. Собрав воедино фрагментированные и противоречивые доказательства, Рейсс создает яркий портрет того, как люди воспринимали историю, человеческое тело, социальный класс, рабство и смерть - и, следовательно, самих себя. Когда Рейсс исследует различные аспекты американской жизни, он раскрывает глубоко укоренившуюся одержимость расой, которая пронизывала повседневные переживания, от общественной памяти до частной фантазии. Через свою историческую детективную работу он обнаруживает дразнящую связь между ранней массовой культурой и тонкой насмешкой Хет над своим хозяином. Эта загадочная фигура служит микрокосмом для понимания эволюции технологии и ее влияния на современные знания, подчеркивая необходимость личной парадигмы для понимания технологического процесса и его последствий для выживания человечества.
Showman et esclave : Mort et mémoire en Amérique Barnum Dans cette histoire fascinante, Benjamin Reiss s'enfonce dans un réseau confus de relations raciales sur l'antebellum du Nord à travers le prisme de l'infâme mystification de P. T. Barnum Joyce Het. livre traite du premier spectacle médiatique de l'histoire américaine qui tournait autour de Het, une vieille esclave qui aurait été l'ex-infirmière de 161 ans de George Washington. En rassemblant des preuves fragmentées et contradictoires, Reiss dresse un portrait brillant de la façon dont les gens perçoivent l'histoire, le corps humain, la classe sociale, l'esclavage et la mort - et donc eux-mêmes. Lorsque Reiss explore les différents aspects de la vie américaine, il révèle une obsession profondément enracinée de la race qui imprègne les expériences quotidiennes, de la mémoire publique à la fantaisie privée. Grâce à son travail de détective historique, il découvre le lien grinçant entre la culture populaire précoce et la moquerie subtile de Het sur son maître. Cette figure mystérieuse sert de microcosme pour comprendre l'évolution de la technologie et son impact sur les connaissances modernes, soulignant la nécessité d'un paradigme personnel pour comprendre le processus technologique et ses conséquences pour la survie de l'humanité.

T. Barnum Joyce Het. libro repasa el primer espectáculo mediático de la historia estadounidense que giraba en torno a Heth, una anciana esclavizada que supuestamente era la ex enfermera George Washington, de 161 .

Mientras Reiss explora varios aspectos de la vida americana, revela una obsesión profundamente arraigada por una raza que impregnó experiencias cotidianas, desde la memoria pública hasta la fantasía privada.

Showman und Sklave: Tod und Erinnerung in Barnums Amerika In dieser faszinierenden Geschichte taucht Benjamin Reiss durch das Prisma des berüchtigten P.T. Barnum-Hoaxes Joyce Het in das verworrene Geflecht der Rassenbeziehungen im Antebellum des Nordens ein. Das Buch untersucht das erste Medienspektakel in der amerikanischen Geschichte, das sich um Het drehte, eine ältere versklavte Frau, die angeblich die 161-jährige ehemalige Krankenschwester von George Washington war. Durch die Zusammenführung fragmentierter und widersprüchlicher Beweise schafft Reiss ein lebendiges Porträt darüber, wie Menschen Geschichte, menschlichen Körper, soziale Klasse, Sklaverei und Tod - und damit sich selbst - wahrnahmen. Wenn Reiss verschiedene Aspekte des amerikanischen bens untersucht, offenbart er eine tief verwurzelte Besessenheit von Rasse, die alltägliche Erfahrungen durchdrang, von der öffentlichen Erinnerung bis zur privaten Fantasie. Durch seine historische Detektivarbeit entdeckt er die verlockende Verbindung zwischen der frühen Massenkultur und Hets subtiler Verhöhnung seines Meisters. Diese mysteriöse Figur dient als Mikrokosmos, um die Entwicklung der Technologie und ihre Auswirkungen auf das moderne Wissen zu verstehen, und betont die Notwendigkeit eines persönlichen Paradigmas, um den technologischen Prozess und seine Auswirkungen auf das Überleben der Menschheit zu verstehen.

Showman and Slave: Death and Memory in Barnum's America Bu büyüleyici hikayede Benjamin Reiss, P. T. Barnum'un kötü şöhretli aldatmacası Joyce Hat'ın merceğinden Kuzey'in antebellumundaki karışık ırk ilişkileri ağına giriyor. Kitap, Amerikan tarihindeki ilk medya gösterisini, George Washington'un 161 yaşındaki eski bir hemşiresi olduğu iddia edilen yaşlı bir köle kadın olan Heth'in etrafında dönen ilk medya gösterisini inceliyor. Parçalanmış ve çelişkili kanıtları bir araya getirerek Reiss, insanların tarihi, insan bedenini, sosyal sınıfı, köleliği ve ölümü ve dolayısıyla kendilerini nasıl algıladıklarının canlı bir portresini yaratıyor. Reiss, Amerikan yaşamının çeşitli yönlerini araştırırken, kamusal hafızadan özel fanteziye kadar günlük deneyimlere nüfuz eden derin bir ırk takıntısını ortaya koyuyor. Tarihsel dedektiflik çalışmaları sayesinde, erken popüler kültür ile Hat'in ustasının ince alaycılığı arasında cezbedici bir bağlantı keşfeder. Bu esrarengiz figür, teknolojinin evrimini ve modern bilgi üzerindeki etkisini anlamak için bir mikro kozmos görevi görüyor ve teknolojik süreci ve bunun insan hayatta kalması için etkilerini anlamak için kişisel bir paradigmaya duyulan ihtiyacı vurguluyor.
