Abstract (type = abstract)
This is the House that John Humphrey Noyes Built argues that the Oneida Community was shaped by children, that its innovative and provocative ideas about gender and marriage were haunted by the presence and absence of children, by the place children and childhood held in the broader nineteenth century zeitgeist. Their rise, their success, and their failure all involved children. Yet, children are largely missing from the Oneida story for reasons that are familiar to historians of childhood: they often didn’t leave extensive written records and over time, descendants have determined that the records that were created by children were not worth preserving. This project seeks to remedy that absence and propose that the Oneida story is one about children. The project relied heavily on archival materials and uses the material world of the community to retell the Oneida story as one about children. Chapter One analyzes the childhood and youth of Oneida’s founder, John Humphrey Noyes, contextualizing is tumultuous and frenzied religious past to better understand how the ideas he developed as a young man would impact the community and its relationship with children. Taken together, chapters two and three trace the progress of Oneida’s built environment, specially the houses they constructed to house the community’s adults and children. By looking at this architectural history we can better understand how Oneida was shaped by the presence and absence of children. The final chapter explores Oneida’s selective-breeding experiment known as Stirpiculture. The chapter argues that the Oneida Community’s demise was inevitable given their child-rearing practices addressed in the previous chapters and their communal lifestyle created a second generation of Oneida dependents who rejected the community’s culture and practices.
