Creatures of the Ice: A Cultural Analysis of Human-Animal Relations in Antarctica

在世界上最大的荒野南极洲，人们对动物的看法在历史上发生了巨大的变化：曾经被视为商业资源的鲸鱼、海豹和企鹅现在是环境的偶像。由于很少有人去南极洲旅行，他们对南极洲动物的看法通常依赖于书面和视觉文本。这个项目结合了人文和科学方面的专业知识，考察了人类在过去两个世纪里讲述他们在南极洲与动物相遇的方式。澳大利亚是南极洲42%的保管人；这个项目提供了一个文化背景，通过它来了解目前对其脆弱生态系统的态度。

Perceptions of animals in the world's largest wilderness, Antarctica, have changed dramatically over history: once seen primarily as commercial resources, whales, seals and penguins are now environmental icons. As few people ever travel to Antarctica, their views of its animals are usually dependent on written and visual texts. Combining expertise in the humanities and sciences, this project examines the ways in which humans have narrated their encounters with animals in Antarctica over the last two centuries. Australia is custodian of forty-two percent of Antarctica; this project provides a cultural context through which to understand current attitudes towards its fragile ecosystems.
