  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

  • Bernard Smith
    7 Constructing “Pacific” Peoples1 Bernard Smith It is generally agreed that Cook’s three voyages greatly enhanced the economic and political power of Europe in the Pacific. But before such power could be fully exercised, certain basic sciences and tech- nologies, the efficient maidservants of power, had themselves to be enhanced. Cook’s voyages advanced astronomy, navigation, and car- tography or, as he might have put it, geographical science. But there were other sciences of less direct concern to the Admiralty enhanced by his voyages, and these contributed also in their time to European domination in the Pacific—namely natural history, meteorology, and the emergent science of ethnography. Important advances were made in all these sciences continually throughout the three voyages, but there were differences in emphasis. The first voyage is the botanical voyage, par excellence, the second is the meteorological voyage, and the third is the ethnographic voyage. These changing emphases were owing largely, though not entirely, to contingent factors. On the Endeavour voyage, Banks, Solander, and Parkinson, with their interests centered on botany, made a powerful team. On the second voyage, Cook himself, his astronomers Wales and Bayly, the two Forsters, and William Hodges were all deeply inter- ested in the changing conditions of wind and weather, light, and atmo- sphere as they traversed vast sections of the southern oceans. By the third voyage Cook had come to realize that both scientific and popular A longer version of this chapter was published in Imagining the Pacific: In the Wake of the Cook Voyages, by Bernard Smith (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1992), 193–221.

The task has been one of research, compilation, and abridgment, of a pleasant nature, undertaken during leisure evenings, after official hours spent in duties and undertakings of a kindred description. Numerous authorities have been consulted, and in some important instances, freely borrowed from ; amongst which, may be mentioned, former numbers of the Nautical Magazine, the Journals of the Royal Geographical Society, published accounts of voyages, personal memoirs, hydrographic works, the Naval Chronicle, Marshall, and O'Bymes Naval Biographies, &c. The object aimed at has been, to produce in a condensed form, a work, useful for hydrographic reference, and sufficiently matter of fact, for any amongst the naval surveyors of the past, who may care to take it up, for reference—and at the same time,—to handle dry dates and figures, in such a way, as to render such matter, sufficiently light and entertaining, for the present and rising generation of naval officers, who, possessing a taste for similar labours to those enumerated, may elect a hydrographic career.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.

  • Interviewing the Embodiment of Political Evil
    Cross-Cultural Bodies through Space: European Travellers, Permanent Body Marking, and Liminality Joanna White Abstract This chapter explores the new forms of embodiment which can ensue from human movement across geographical and cultural space. Archival evidence from late 18th and early 19th century European voyages to the Pacific Islands reveals how cross- cultural encounters exposed Europeans to novel methods of modifying the body, prompting a variety of responses. The diverse ways in which visitors engaged with the indigenous Islander practice of permanent body marking (tattooing) - which included experimentation, appropriation, and total capitulation to indigenous tattooing tradition - are revelatory of the multiple significances of the body as a site of cross-cultural exchange, as well as one through which power and social influence and agency are affected. Particular attention is paid to liminality as a productive conceptual approach for examining how corporeal movement across cultural boundaries can result in new manifestations of the expressive and social potential of the body. Key Words: The body, embodiment, Pacific Islands, history, anthropology, tattooing, body modification, cross-cultural exchange, liminality. ***** 1. Introduction Tattooing in Europe during the early modern period has long been understood as a fragmented practice, although it appears to have had long-standing associations with mobility and cross-cultural exposure. Permanent corporeal inscription is known to have taken place amongst a minority of Europeans prior to the late 18th century as a mark of religious pilgrimage, for example, and in association with the maritime world.1 During the late 18th and early 19th centuries voyages to the Pacific Islands led to the exposure of hundreds of Europeans (mostly men) to both sophisticated indigenous tattooing imagery, and Islander2 body marking technology and techniques.
