Casado, Santos (Author)
This essay aims to examine how naturalists have explored different ways of representing nature in their research and popularization practices. More specifically, it focuses—within the particular historical context of Spanish natural sciences in the first decades of the twentieth century—on the uses of natural specimens as physical components of representational assemblages of various kinds, such as entomological displays and taxidermy dioramas. The essay shows that, in order to be labeled as natural, these assemblages entailed complex processes of extraction and recontextualization, and their components were mixed and rearranged in highly artificial ways. I argue, therefore, that taxidermy dioramas and similar natural history displays could be understood as a form of visual and material quotation.
