Into the Wild: Constructing Wilderness

A brief environmental video essay that analyzes the movie Into the Wild. I specifically look at how Sean Penn's fictionalized Chris McCandless envisions and constructs wilderness via two pathways. The first is through a binary between wild nature and society. The second is a characterization of wilderness as a place of transcendence--a construction that pulls heavily from the works of Thoreau and Emerson.
