Specimen, BenjamĂn Schultz‑Figueroa examines rarely seen
behaviorist films of animal experiments from the 1930s and 1940s.
These laboratory recordings—including Robert Yerkes's work with
North American primate colonies, Yale University's rat‑based
simulations of human society, and B. F. Skinner's promotions
for pigeon‑guided missiles—have long been considered passive
records of scientific research. In Schultz‑Figueroa's incisive
analysis, however, they are revealed to be rich historical,
political, and aesthetic texts that played a crucial role in
American scientific and cultural history—and remain foundational
to contemporary conceptions of species, race, identity, and
society.
