Abstract (en)

Argues that Emerson had a personal, class, and psychosexual need to maintain the distance and difference between himself and his subjects, and that photography allowed him to sustain and govern this distance. Concludes that landscape was not an innocent place for him, but a complexly social and gendered space.
