Inside the ABC’s animal archive

This paper draws on a major research project done in partnership with the ABC investigating their animal archive. While the project began as an analysis of the emergence and demise of the Natural History Unit, it ended up as an exploration of how the existential realities of animals interacted with televisual processes. Animals, it turned out, were a lot more interesting than the institutional history of the ABC. Three key questions shape the paper: how did animals practically get to be on the ABC; how did the ecologies of television provoke particular modes of being for these animals; and how did these animals call publics into being? Theoretically the paper opens up a conversation between science and technology studies and screen theory. Its focus is not so much on animal representations or critique but animal performances and their political effects. The ABC made animals public in very particular ways, in letting these animals loose in the world it activated a range of new human animal encounters, some of them provocative and some of them very disturbing.

Gay Hawkins is a research professor in social and cultural theory at the Institute for Culture and Society, at Western Sydney University.

Chris Danta, UNSW, will draw on his research on animals and literature to respond to Gay’s presentation.
