  • Paradise in Reality Television, Tourism, and Real Estate Promotion in Vanuatu
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Selling “Sites of Desire”: Paradise in Reality Television, Tourism, and Real Estate Promotion in Vanuatu Siobhan McDonnell Visual representations and narrative accounts of Pacific landscapes mat- ter. Long-established ideas of the Pacific as paradise are not empty tropes; rather, they are instrumental in the ongoing recolonization of Indigenous landscapes by foreigners. Beginning with the experience of the filming of Survivor: Vanuatu—Islands of Fire in North Efate, located just twenty- five minutes from Port Vila, this article describes how the television series resulted in a rapacious demand by expatriate investors to lease customary land. Building from the filming of Survivor, this article explores how real estate and tourism campaigns in Vanuatu and elsewhere in the Pacific cul- tivate foreign desire in ways that both motivate and enable the possession of Indigenous landscapes. Pacific real estate and tourism campaigns offer visions of paradisiacal, empty landscapes that function as playgrounds for white people. By reproducing the narrative tropes that frame the foreign imaginary of the Pacific, the images of real estate and tourism campaigns create a cultural loop in which Pacific landscapes become, once more, saturated with desire. Visual representations enable the colonization of space, which is not only “about soldiers and cannons . but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings” (Said 1993, 7). Ideas of paradise have ani- mated foreign imaginings of “exotic” landscapes for hundreds of years. Colonial expeditions imagined paradise as a kind of New World treasure trove ripe for exploitation.
