In this work, the author focuses on the conquest of the North Pole as she reveals how popular print and visual media, including photography and video, defined and shaped American national ideologies from the early 20th century to the present.

Lisa Bloom is currently a Mellon postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and has taught art history at the University of California. She has written and lectured on the intersections between gender, technology, travel, colonialism, and visual culture.

A passion for blankness - US and British polar discourse; nationalism on ice - technology and masculinity at the North Pole; National Geographic Society and Magazine - technologies of nationalism, race, and gender; white fade-out? heroism and the National Geographic in the age of multiculturalism; science and writing - the adventures of male embodiment.
