Description “In this essay, the failed British expedition to the South Pole in 1911 provides a case study of how representations of masculinity, technology, science, and empire are co-articulated. I compare Captain Robert Falcon Scott's narrative with the writings of American arctic explorers such as Captain Robert Peary and Vilhjalmur Stefansson to examine how different national fantasies of masculinity and science contributed to the formation of distinct imperial ideologies.”
