| Title: | Peripheral vision: aspects of science in the Arctic (1840-1890). On Dr John Rae, the commensurability of 'ethnoscience' and the 'vulgar subterfuge' of going native / Huw W.G. Lewis-Jones. |
| Author(s): | Lewis-Jones, Huw W. G. |
| Date: | 2002. |
| Abstract: | Suggests that Rae's championing of native methods of travel challenged modes of thought generally considered inviolate in Victorian Britain, presenting a potentially destabilizing challenge to prevailing ethnocentric discourse. Particularly challenging in that his theatre of operations was the Arctic - where notions of what it meant to be British were formulated and reinforced - and, in later life, chose to do so in London. |
| Notes: | Unpublished thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M. Phil. in Polar Studies. |
