During that time, new transport and recording technologies--particularly airplanes, automobiles, and small portable, still and motion-picture cameras--were used by many expeditions to document the last untouched places of the globe and bring them home to eager audiences. These expeditions were frequently presented as first contact encounters, and they enchanted popular imagination. The various narratives in the articles, books, films, exhibitions, and lecture tours that the expeditions generated fed into pre-existing stereotypes about racial and technological difference, and helped to create them anew in popular culture. Through review of several expeditions and their popular wakes, these essays (foreword, introduction + 12 additional chapters, afterward) trace complex but obscured relationships between anthropology, adventure travel, and cinematic imagination that the 1920s and 1930s engendered and how their myths have endured. The book further explores the effects - both positive and negative - of such expeditions on the discipline of anthropology itself. In doing so, however, this volume examines these impacts from a variety of national perspectives, and thus through these different vantage points creates a more nuanced perspective on how expeditions were at once a global phenomenon but also culturally ordered"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Ethnology $x Methodology. 650 0 $a Ethnological expeditions $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Adventure and adventurers $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Travelers $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Visual anthropology $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Technology $x Anthropological aspects. 650 0 $a Anthropology in popular culture. 650 0 $a Motion pictures in ethnology. 650 0 $a Ethnographic films. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Cultural. $x Cultural. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Expeditions & Discoveries. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS $x History & Criticism. $x History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Bell, Joshua A. $q (Joshua Alexander), $d 1973- 700 1 $a Brown, Alison K. $q (Alison Kay), $d 1971- 700 1 $a Gordon, Robert J., $d 1947- 830 0 $a Smithsonian contribution to knowledge. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211031942.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826073823.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=253068E2FE5E11E2B6A414D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
