Optional support of Deep Podcast: / deeppodcastiran Instagram: / deep.podcast Telegram Channel: Https://www.telegram.me/deeppodcast were doing The other name of this zoo was ethnography exhibitions. These exhibitions originally started as part of a circus or "freak show" where they came and exhibited strange or exotic people. Later, they became independent exhibitions that emphasized one thing: that these people and their societies are inferior and lower than the western society. Now why did they make such a slogan? They need people in western societies to believe such a thing and feel that they are a superior race. If such a mentality was established in the people, then the western societies could easily dominate these exotic societies and colonize them. Back then, their people would join politicians and accept that those lands have low-level humans, although in the 20th century, human zoos gradually disappeared and disappeared, but the debate about them continues. Human zoos started working as part of circuses and freak shows. The job of freak shows was to show rare examples of people who have strange characteristics. People who are abnormally large or very small, have diseases or abnormal physical conditions, and in any case were surprising and surprising to the people watching them. Such shows were temporarily held in colonial exhibitions or animal zoos. These human zoos wanted to show people a border, which of course was a hypothetical border, the border between the so-called civilized world and the wild world. More than four centuries after the first expeditions, European societies loved strange examples of humans. to watch Now this strange example we are talking about could be a change in skin color or a physical disability. Seeing such people was attractive to them. These exotic species were sent to Paris, London or Berlin to be exhibited to the public. The phenomenon that started out of curiosity turned into a terrifying pseudoscience in the middle of the 19th century. Because now it has come to the feet of scientists, this time western researchers wanted to prove racial superiority based on these rare examples. Let's give a little explanation about the word pseudo science. Pseudoscience means beliefs, statements and works that are claimed to be both scientific and non-scientific. Their problem is that they are not compatible with scientific methods. This is what the researchers wanted to do by showing strange humans. It had no scientific basis at all. The peak of human zoos was during the height of colonialism. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people visited this zoo. In fact, these zoos were part of large international trade fairs or colonial fairs. In this human zoo, the audience could watch entire Kanak or Senegalese villages. The residents of these villages used to get money from their colonial masters to perform war dances and religious rituals in front of the people. Maybe we can say to ourselves now that it is nothing special, they must have shown the culture of those tribes to the white people, but this was not the reality. So what was the main purpose of these exhibitions or human zoos? Basically, they wanted to create the feeling in the audience and western societies that these people, or the people you are watching, are considered "foreign". When the western society considers these people as "alien", dominating them becomes legitimate. In fact, they were colonizing these people in a legal and legitimate way. For example, the zoo in Brussels became famous because visitors could feed a woman in a cage from behind a fence. The people who were displayed did not receive any money or help, and when they died, they were buried in unknown graves. So the goal was not to get to know the culture. However, what we know today is that the Brussels exhibition was the last official stop of the human zoo, which was eventually destroyed by male protests and the history of the "human zoo" tradition ended in 1958, when public protests, the organizers Congolese Village" at the Universal Exhibition in Belgium forced them to close down. How did human zoos appear and how did human zoos disappear? What was the full history of human zoos? Who destroyed the human zoo? But how do human zoos end and there is no trace of them and join history? From the sales charts, it can be proven that the postcards and paintings of these zoos play an important role in attracting the audience. Postcards were used as gifts. On the postcards, there were attractive and captivating pictures. Images of animal life, nudity and sexuality of savages. Studying these abnormal forms of representation helps us better understand how "scientific racism" became "public racism". Incredibly, the story of the human zoo lasted until 1958, more than a decade after World War II. But among all these human zoos, which one was the most popular and the biggest? In this field, the f
