Abstract/Notes: The child's attention, how this attention is reasoned about, and how attention works as a surface for pedagogical intervention are central to understanding modern schooling. This article examines “attention” as an object of knowledge related to the organization and management of individuals. I address what we might learn about attention by studying one specific Montessori classroom, the glass-walled public demonstration set up at the 1915 San Francisco World's Fair. The pedagogy of attention on display and the spectatorship of the classroom provide an opportunity to rethink how power and subjectivity play in the formation of human attractions. I argue that thinking through Montessori offers important and relevant suggestions for present-day examinations of attention. The 1915 demonstration classroom can help us theorize the relation of attention to normalizing and governmentalizing practices. This specific study of how attention operates in one locale has implications for tactile learning theories and for the analytics of power to be used in studies of attention.

Abstract/Notes: The Edward A. Rogers collection is the largest known vestige of the archive of the Cardinell-Vincent Company, the official photographers of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915. It comprises approximately 6,700 photographic prints housed in albums, 2,166 glass negatives, 124 film negatives, and 115 panoramic film negatives. The great majority of images document the exposition throughout its 1915 run, but some commercial photographs taken by Cardinell-Vincent date from the decade after the fair. During the construction period in 1913 and 1914 the exposition's photographic contract was held by H.S. Crocker & Co., and a significant number of their images are present.
