Open Collections THE PRESENTATION OF LANDSCAPE: RHETORICAL CONVENTIONS AND THE PROMOTION OF TOURISM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1900-1990 by RONALD ROSS NELSON B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1983 M.A., The University of Waterloo, 1985 A THESIS SUBMInED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHiLOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Geography) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1994 © Ronald Ross Nelson, 1994 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

(Signature) Department of p The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Z7, / DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis argues that landscapes are products of language, that the meaning of a landscape depends upon how it is presented and interpreted in the course of human communication. It is also argued that the field of rhetoric—as a body of theory, ideas, and methods for interpreting the persuasive use of language—can assist human geographers in their attempts to interpret landscapes. These positions are put to work in a study of the promotion of tourist landscapes by the British Columbia government. Two time periods are examined: first, presentations of landscape during the 1920s and 1930s, and second the 1970s and 1980s. These periods are similar in that they are periods of transition—periods in which the tourism industry underwent significant change. The first period is associated with the development of mass tourism, and specifically with the emergence of the state as a major player in the tourist industry. The second period concerns the recent development of postmodern (alternative environmental and cultural) tourism. Postmodem tourism is characterized by the rejection of mass tourism and by the quest for real places and experiences. The thesis uses both qualitative and quantitative (computer-assisted content analysis) methods to examine how the state has rhetorically responded to these changes in its presentations of landscape. Changes are found in both periods, but they are gradual and incomplete. It is consequently argued that the state’s character as an author limits its audience and the strategies it may use for presenting tourist landscapes. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . jj TABLE OF CONTENTS . iii LIST OF TABLES vi LIST OF FIGURES ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS x DEDICATION xi INTRODUCTION: ON NETS AND FISH 1 CHAPTER 1: PERSPECTIVES ON LANDSCAPE 12 Classifying Ideas of Landscape 13 Dramatism and Kenneth Burke 15 Perpectives on Landscape 28 Traditional 30 Humanist 35 Marxist 40 Communicative 45 Future Perspectives7 51 Notes 53 CHAPTER 2: RHETORIC AND PRESENTATIONS OF LANDSCAPE 59 Review of Interpretive Methods 60 Starting Points 67 Competing Ideas of Rhetoric 71 Modernist Views of Rhetoric 71 The Modernist View of Rhetoric in Geography 78 The New Rhetoric 80 Recent Trends in Rhetoric 86 Rhetoric and Presentations of Landscape 95 Conclusion 101 Notes 102 CHAPTER 3: TOURISM: A REVIEW OF THE MASS AND POSTMODERN LiTERATURE 108 Tourism Geography: Problems and Prospects 110 TheResortCycle 115 Stages of Modern Tourism 119 Mass Tourism 123 Postmodern Tourism 138 Conclusion 153 Notes 155 In CHAPTER 4: QUANTITATiVE METHODOLOGY .161 The HyperDiction Program 163 Word Lists and Indices 165 Problems with Computer-based Content Analysis .. 177 Sampling Procedure . 179 Rhetorical Patterns in Tourism Advertising 183 Conclusion 196 Notes 199 CHAPTER 5: TOURISM AND THE STATE, A CONTEXTUAL DISCUSSION 201 The Beginnings of Tourist Promotion .. 201 The Origins of State Participation in Tourist Promotion . 202 The Magnitude of Victorian and early Mass Tourism 222 The Promotion of Mass Tourism 240 Mass Tourism and the Growth of State Participation 240 Mass Tourist Markets and Promotions 249 Postmodern Tourism 253 The State and Postmodem Tourism 253 Adventure and Cultural Tourism in British Columbia 257 Conclusion 270 Notes 272 CHAPTER 6: THE PRESENTATION OF MASS TOURIST LANDSCAPES 285 Aristocratic Presentations . 288 The Structure of Aristocratic Presentations 291 Varieties of Embellishment in Aristocratic Prose 298 Addressing the Aristocratic Audience . 305 Summary 308 Early Mass Tourism 309 In Search of a Rhetoric of Common Currency 319 Other Examples 324 The Transitional Rhetorics of Other State Tourist Bureaus 331 The CPR and the Persistence of the Picturesque 341 Conclusion 343 Notes 344 CHAPTER 7: THE PRESENTATION OF POSTMODERN LANDSCAPES 347 The Rhetoric of Mass Tourism 349 The Dick and Jane Style of Mass Tourism 355 The Rhetorical Qualities of Mass Presentations 363 Summary 370 Postmodem Presentations: A New Rhetoric’) 371 Heritage Guides 389 Adventure Presentations 400 Conclusion 419 Notes 421 iv CONCLUSION . ..,,. 423 Cultural Geography, Landscape and Rhetoric . ,..,.•. .., . .. .. .. .. 424 Tourism, Landscapes, Advertising, and Technology 430 Concluding Remarks 439 Notes 442 PRIMARY SOURCES 445 B.C.

  • Management Plan for the Olympia Oyster (Ostrea Conchaphila) in Canada [PROPOSED]
    PROPOSED SPECIES AT RISK ACT Management Plan Series Management Plan for the Olympia Oyster (Ostrea conchaphila) in Canada Olympia Oyster May 2009 About the Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003, and one of its purposes is “to manage species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened.” What is a species of special concern? Under SARA, a species of special concern is a wildlife species that could become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. Species of special concern are included in the SARA List of Wildlife Species at Risk. What is a management plan? Under SARA, a management plan is an action-oriented planning document that identifies the conservation activities and land use measures needed to ensure, at a minimum, that a species of special concern does not become threatened or endangered. For many species, the ultimate aim of the management plan will be to alleviate human threats and remove the species from the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. The plan sets goals and objectives, identifies threats, and indicates the main areas of activities to be undertaken to address those threats. Management plan development is mandated under Sections 65–72 of SARA (http://www.sararegistry.gc.ca/approach/act/default_e.cfm). A management plan has to be developed within three years after the species is added to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk.
