Abstract
Book Review: Manufacturing national park nature : photography, ecology, and the wilderness industry of Jasper
Highlights
It is a solid addition to the UBC Press series “Nature | History | Society,” aptly fitting the series’ intention to consider the interface between nature and society, in work that has temporal depth
Cronin deploys a concept she terms “National Park Nature” to indicate the ways that the broad understanding of Canada’s Rocky Mountain parks depends on cultural constructs of “wilderness,” “recreation” and “wildlife,” that are mediated through photographic representation (p. 4)
She argues that tourist and tourist industry photos of Jasper National Park maintained consistent elements over time, despite the Park’s existence for over 100 years and the many surrounding societal changes
