The nature of the beasts
It is widely known that such Western institutions as the museum, the university, and the penitentiary shaped Japan’s emergence as a modern nation-state. Less commonly recognized is the role played by the distinctly hybrid institution—at once museum, laboratory, and prison—of the zoological garden. In this eye-opening study of Japan’s first modern zoo, Tokyo’s Ueno Imperial Zoological Gardens, opened in 1882, Ian Jared Miller offers a refreshingly unconventional narrative of Japan’s rapid modernization and changing relationship with the natural world. As the first zoological garden in the world not built under the sway of a Western imperial regime, the Ueno Zoo served not only as a staple attraction in the nation’s capital—an institutional marker of national accomplishment—but also as a site for the propagation of a new “natural” order that was scientifically verifiable and evolutionarily foreordained. As the Japanese empire grew, Ueno became one of the primary sites of imperialist spectacle, a microcosm of the empire that could be traveled in the course of a single day. The meaning of the zoo would change over the course of Imperial Japan’s unraveling and subsequent Allied occupation. Today it remains one of Japan’s most frequently visited places. But instead of empire in its classic political sense, it now bespeaks the ambivalent dominion of the human species over the natural environment, harkening back to its imperial roots even as it asks us to question our exploitation of the planet’s resources.

Vibrant Rivers in Three Hybrid Books for Young Readers Addressing Climate Change and Matter Awareness
Rivers have been the starting point and location for philosophical, religious, and literary thoughts about the world and humans’ relationship to it and to the hereafter for thousands of years. Children’s literature is no exception, and through a new materialist and material ecocritical lens, this article examine rivers that speak up or are recognized as crucial for ecological interactions. The aim is to explore how rivers function both as a form of agentic inanimate matter and as nonfictional aesthetic forces in three texts for young readers addressing climate change and place awareness: The Art of Rewilding: The Return of Yellowstone’s Wolves (2022) by writer Nadja Belhadj and illustrator Marc Majewski, Save Our Forest! (2022) by Nora Dåsnes, and What Is a River? (2019) by Monika Vaicenavičienė. All three books can be described as hybrid in terms of the relationship between fiction and nonfiction, as well as in other aspects such as material design and genre conventions.
