SUMMARY:The Invented Indigenous Histories of Appalachian Show Caves
DESCRIPTION:“The Invented Indigenous Histories of Appalachian Show Caves”\nDr. Chelsea Fisher\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, University of South Carolina \nShow caves – caves operated as commercial attractions – have been a fixture of Appalachian tourism since the nineteenth century. In this talk\, Dr. Fisher will examine Appalachian show caves as a technology of colonialism\, which extended principles of terra nullius (“nobody’s land”) underground by casting caves as empty wastes and then filling them with settler fantasies about Indigenous culture and history. Through an exploration of Gilded Age and Victorian-era show cave guidebooks\, souvenirs\, literature\, and other memorabilia\, Fisher will show how seemingly innocuous tourist traps reproduce settler fantasies\, and discuss how expelling these fantasies can make room for the restoration of anti-colonial and Indigenous histories to subterranean realms. \nPresented in person and virtually.
