Images of the Tropics - Environment and Visual Culture in Colonial Indonesia

Informationen zum Autor Susie Protschky (1979) received her doctorate in history from the University of New South Wales (Sydney) in 2007, and was a lecturer at the University of Western Australia (Perth) from 2008 to 2010. In her current role as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Postdoctoral Fellow at Monash University (Melbourne), she is working on a cultural history of monarchy and empire in the Dutch colonial world. Klappentext Images of the Tropics critically examines Dutch colonial culture in the Netherlands Indies through the prism of landscape art. Susie Protschky contends that visual representations of nature and landscape were core elements of how Europeans understood the tropics, justified their territorial claims in the region, and understood their place both in imperial Europe and in colonized Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her book thus makes a significant contribution to studies of empire, art and environment, as well as to histories of Indonesia and Europe.
