Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 2002.

This dissertation examines independent expeditionary films produced by Anglo-American filmmakers during the 1930s--1950s. The classification "expeditionary" foregrounds the scientific, institutional and commercial contexts of film production and exhibition. I focus on the cinematic practices of three filmmakers who traveled and worked in remote regions of the globe, a strategy which allows me to triangulate the transcultural issues these films raise. Through in-depth film analyses, I explore the discursive and epistemological connections between vernacular practices of travel, ethnography and cinema during the interwar and postwar years. I examine the role of expeditionary film in popularizing anthropological, natural history and exploration narratives and idioms, paying particular attention to the use of new cinematic and mobile technologies in the field. Expeditionary films illustrate a historical kinship between genres of travel, documentary and ethnographic cinema and popularized modes of adventure travel and tourism for an emerging global tourist industry in the twentieth century. I argue that the mode of the safari and its appropriation in western discourses of travel, recreation and cinema became a prototype for the touristic consumption of cultural difference and natural landscapes around the world.
