WILD BOYS AND GRIZZLY MEN: THROUGHOUT ITs HISTORY, THE WILDLIFE
FILM AND TELEVISION GENRE HAS CONSTRUCTED AND RECONSTRUCTED DISTINCTIONS
BETWEEN THE ANIMAL AND THE HUMAN. FREQUENTLY, THESE MOVES TAKE PLACE IN
REPRESENTATIONS OF COURTSHIP AND KINSHIP THAT DELINEATE OUR DIFFERENCES
AND CONFLATE OUR SIMILARITIES. THIS TALK SURVEYS THE CONVENTIONS THROUGH
WHICH THE GENRE HAS DEPICTED SEXUAL BEHAVIORS AMONG ANIMALS, AND EXTENDED
ARGUMENTS ABOUT THESE BEHAVIORS TOWARD DELINEATING GENDER AND SEXUAL
NORMS FOR HUMANS. FURTHER, CHRIS EXPLORES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NEW WILDLIFE/
REALITY TV HYBRIDS, SUCH AS MTV’S WILDBOYZ, ESCHEW THE GENRE’S TRADITIONAL,
AUTHORITATIVELY SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSES, REMAKING THE GENRE’S LONG-STANDING
PATRICIAN MASCULINITY IN FAVOR OF PRANKISH EXHIBITIONISM THAT INDULGES IN
ENCOUNTERS, SOMETIMES EROTICIZED,WITH ANIMAL-OTHERS. THESE INTERSPECIES
PERFORMANCES ARE EVIDENCE OF THE CHIMERIC SLAPDASHERY OF TV GENRES IN THE
FIERCELY COMPETITIVE, HEAVILY NICHED, MULTICHANNEL TELEVISION UNIVERSE. AND,
AS THIS PAPER ARGUES, THEY ARE ALSO EXPERIMENTS THAT TEST THE BOUNDARIES
BETWEEN SPECIES, IN AN ERA RIFE WITH REFORMULATIONS — IN SCIENCE, IN PHILOSOPHY,
AND IN WIDESPREAD COMMON SENSE — OF HOW WE HUMANS AND OTHER ANIMALS ARE
LIKE AND UNLIKE.
