[DCRM-L] Help with problem subject heading

[Schneider, Nina]

Dear Jane,

Thank you! Ironically, all of the titles that had Noble Savage in the subject headings in our catalog were by Rousseau!

I will discuss this option with my colleagues.

Hi Bob and Nina,

I wonder if, in order to make the term more universal (especially given that the concept seems to have originated in Europe - although Rousseau never used the phrase, not even in French), "Indigenous peoples - Stereotypes (Social psychology)" would be better?

Geographical and / or historical sub-fields could be added as wished.

Best wishes,

Jane

Hi Nina,

What about: "Indians of North America" combined with "Stereotypes (Social psychology) $v United States" ?

All the best,

Bob

Hi all,

I know some of you are belong to the Facebook group to which I posted this question last night. I thought I should ask this group since, although not necessarily a rare books question, probably comes up more frequently in special collections.

Has anyone found a workaround for the LCSH term “Noble savage” that retains the concept/idea of the term without actually using it?

Strangely, there’s been faculty pushback about eliminating the subject heading from our records altogether, which is my preferred option.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Nina
