Susie Protschky contends that visual representations of nature and landscape were core elements of how Europeans understood the tropics, justified their territorial claims in the region, and understood their place both in imperial Europe and in colonized Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her book thus makes a significant contribution to studies of empire, art and environment, as well as to histories of Indonesia and Europe. Surveying a rich visual culture developed over a period of some 350 years of Dutch colonial engagement with Indonesia Susie Protschky demonstrates how views of the archipelago?s environment were far from simple topographical souvenirs. Rather, this book reveals how images of the tropics visually articulated colonial attempts to legitimize and historicize what were in fact continually changing and contested claims to Dutch territorial sovereignty in the Indies. Further, colonial images of nature were routinely inflected with diverse cultural preoccupations, among them the constitution of gender, class and racial boundaries in Indies society; the tenor of sexual mores in the tropics; and the political role of religion in the archipelago. Landscape art thus indexed colonial views on a range of pressing social and political concerns. 410 0$aVerhandelingen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde$v270. 606 $aOrientalism in art 606 $aArt, European$y19th century 606 $aArt, European$y20th century 606 $aArt, Dutch$zIndonesia$y19th century 606 $aArt, Dutch$zIndonesia$y20th century 606 $aArt$xPolitical aspects$zIndonesia 607 $aIndonesia$xIn art 607 $aTropics$vIn art 607 $aIndonesia$xDescription and travel 607 $aIndonesia$xHistory$y1798-1942 607 $aNetherlands$xColonies$zAsia 615 0$aOrientalism in art. 615 0$aArt, European 615 0$aArt, European 615 0$aArt, Dutch 615 0$aArt, Dutch 615 0$aArt$xPolitical aspects 676 $a720 700 $aProtschky$b Susie$01564527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787583703321 996 $aImages of the tropics$93833671 997 $aUNINA
