MARC recordEarthly poles: the Antarctic voyages of Scott and Amundsen / John Wylie.
| Title: | Earthly poles: the Antarctic voyages of Scott and Amundsen / John Wylie. |
| Author(s): | Wylie, John. |
| Date: | 2002. |
| Publisher: | New York: Continuum |
| In: | Postcolonial geographies. (2002.), |
| Abstract: | Critical re-examination of Scott's 1910-13 Terra Nova and Amundsen's 1910-12 Fram Antarctic expeditions, with particular reference to their different negotiations of discourses of polar exploration. Examines complicity with nationalist and imperial sentiment; appeal to technocratic vision of modernity; production of sublime aesthetics of polar landscape; reliance upon Inuit "other"; and performance of heroic masculinity. Discusses scaffolding of imperial, ethnographic and scientific practices that produced, legitimated and funded expeditions to South Pole. |
| Notes: | In: Postcolonial geographies / Alison Blunt, Cheryl McEwan. |
