DESCRIPTION:Legal Theory Workshop.\nSpeaker: Irus Braverman\, Associate Pro
 fessor at\nUniversity of Buffalo Law School\, SUNY.\nAbstract\nThe last th
 ree or four decades have witnessed a dramatic shift\nin the management of 
 zoo animal populations in the United States\nand around the world.\nDuring
  this short period\, captive animal management has\ntransformed from a mat
 erially\, geographically\, and technologically\nlimited enterprise - focus
 ed on the control of individual zoo\nanimals within specific zoos - into a
  global system that relies on\ncomputerized database management. Finally\,
  zoo animal management\nhas become an ambitious ecological project that em
 phasizes\nconservation and requires sophisticated administrative mechanism
 s\nto coordinate between zoos.\nIn terms of surveillance\, this revolution
 ary shift can be\ncategorized as a transition from a low-level project of 
 naming and\nrecording individual animals\, into a more expansive and centr
 alized\ndataveillance project for the global control of animal populations
 \,\nand\, finally\, into the domain of reproductive management. What were
 \npreviously technologies of naming\, identifying\, recording\, and\ntrack
 ing - and thereby scientifically knowing - captive animal\npopulations\, h
 ave thus evolved into a heightened control over the\nvery physicality of t
 hese animals.\nHumans\, in other words\, have transcended their biblically
 \nallotted role as namers to now become creators. Whereas animal\nhusbandr
 y has been around for centuries\, this essay contends that\nthe reproducti
 ve control of zoo animals is unique in several ways\,\nand\, perhaps most 
 importantly\, in its framing as an ecological\nenterprise. The term 'zoove
 illance' is coined here to express this\nuniqueness.\nBased on a series of
  fifteen semi-structured\, in-depth\ninterviews conducted between May 2009
  and November 2010 with\nprominent zoo professionals in North America\, Ir
 us Braverman\nexplores the relevancy and importance of applying the framew
 ork of\nsurveillance in the nonhuman context of zoo animals and explore\ns
 ome of the underlying interconnections between human\, domestic\,\nand cap
 tive animal surveillance projects.\n \n
