Started in 2016, Circumnavigations is a three-part project dealing with the influence of Captain Cook's voyages on the global landscape through the introduction of plants. Each of the three expeditions becomes a case study questioning the transport and implantation of species across the world.
During this seminar, Clément Verger will expand on a key event of his Hawaiian chapter. He will explore the death of Cook through its multiple representations and how artists played a role in the creation of the myth of James Cook as a hero of the Enlightenment.
