Frozen memories: unthawing Scott of the Antarctic in cultural memory

Claire Barwell

University College for the Creative Arts, Farnham, Surrey, UK, cbarwell{at}ucreative.ac.uk

This article explores the staging of memory and death and the connotative differences within still photographs and film. It examines the tenses that can be inferred in reading photographs and film through examples drawn from representations of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13 and Captain Scott's journey to the South Pole taken by Herbert Ponting, and in the 1948 film Scott of the Antarctic.

Key Words: film • memory • photography • Ponting • South Pole
