Abstract
This research fundamentally questions how representations of the environment and land impact how we relate to and live in it. By examining a set of 1925 stereoscope images of Zion National Park, it considers how use-based perceptions of place – structured by the entertainment of tourism and mass media – become part of the mundane practices of consumption. Overall, by exploring how capital-colonial narratives around land have been built, this work looks to propose one method of many through which to re-frame environmental issues as able to be addressed.
