Visualizing the Nuclear
This article examines the visual culture of U.S. nuclear imperialism in the Pacific through an analysis of several widely circulated photographs: two images of atomic testing at Bikini Atoll published in Life magazine in 1946, and a photograph of the nuclear-powered USS Enterprise produced during Operation Sea Orbit in 1964. Drawing on theories of coloniality, whiteness, and militourism, this article traces the shift from the hypervisibility of t…

Photographs as layered objects in Oceania
Historical photographs from the Pacific were often produced by white photographers, but they nevertheless serve as records of historical and cultural significance to Indigenous communities today. Although scholarship on photography from the Pacific has increased since the 1990s, the field has not entirely kept up with broader critical discussions in visual studies and Pacific Islands studies. This article takes a material approach to photographs,…

The Nude in the Album
This article considers two compilations containing photographs of undressed women. The first is an album in the standard definition, “compiled by a painter for figure studies” in the 1890s. The second is an extra-illustrated book published in 1896 with a number of images of nude and partially nude women glued in to the text. In both, the inclusion of nude photographs heightens their function as suggestions of sexual sequence, the unfolding of a s…
Doris Ulmann in Brasstown
In 1933 and 1934, Doris Ulmann traveled to Brasstown, North Carolina, at the invitation of Olive Dame Campbell, founder of the John C. Campbell Folk School. Drawing on her interest in marginalized and rural populations, Ulmann photographed students at the Folk School and others in the Brasstown area with the intention of using her photographs to illustrate Allen Eaton’s Handicrafts of the Southern Highlands (1937). Ulmann’s process and aesthetics…
Indigenous Modernities
This essay examines a set of photographs created by Philip Delaporte, a German-American missionary working for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions on the island of Nauru in the early 20th century. At the time Nauru was a German colony, but the phosphate industry had brought a varied group of settlers and influences that added to a pre-existing series of inter-Pacific connections. The photographs were produced just prior to th…
Ethnographic Pictorialism
In 1909, a series of photographs by Honolulu portraitist Caroline Gurrey was exhibited at the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition (AYPE) in Seattle. The photographs, which combine elements of the Pictorialist style and ethnographic photography, are portraits of young men and women of either Native Hawaiian or mixed-race heritage. The archival record indicates that the photographs were purchased in Honolulu by a member of the Exposition's administrati…
Photographs from an American Album
In 1899–1900 the Albatross, a US Fish Commission vessel, traveled through the Pacific Islands for seven months, charting coastlines, collecting mineral specimens, and taking photographs. These photographs now reside in several repositories, including five elaborately composed albums at the Phillips Library, Salem, Massachusetts. This article considers these albums, which include a number of nude photographs, in the context of popular nude photogr…
Picturing Pleasure
This article explores the travel writings, illustrated with photographs, of Fanny Stevenson and Beatrice Grimshaw, two ‘lady travelers’ who visited the Pacific Islands at the turn of the twentieth century. Although little critical attention has been paid to their books, these texts are significant contributions to the comparatively small archive of Euro‐American women’s narratives of travel and encounter in the Pacific Islands from this period. T…
Musée Gauguin Tahiti
This essay discusses the Musée Gauguin Tahiti as a problematic counterpoint for contemporary developments in Oceanic museology. Considering Gauguin’s complex relationship to French colonial history, the tourism industry and Pacific Island history, the site raises a number of significant issues. It occupies an ambiguous place in the museum/cultural centre/heritage site taxonomy, and its undermining of standard museum display practices often result…
