Abstract

‘Good’ editorial practice – in this case, post-developmental copy-editing work – is typically measured by an editor’s ‘positive invisibility’ (J. Hargrave, Teaching Publishing and Editorial Practice, Cambridge University Press, 2022). Traditionally, editing has been considered a ‘role [that] tends to be pushed into the margins’, taking place ‘behind the scenes’ and existing ‘everywhere and, therefore, nowhere’ (S. Greenberg, ‘When the Editor Disappears, Does Editing Disappear?’, Convergence, 2010, p. 8); a hidden, mysterious business transparent only to those who practise it. Editorial practice is hence often (mis)judged by physical invisibility on the page: that is, an absence of error. An editor’s value is predicated on their positive invisibility, an outcome of which can be their marginalization. With the distinction between work and home life essentially eradicated in the COVID-19 gig economy of 2020–2021, central questions posed for this context were simply: ‘How did editors cope with the work-to-home transition?’, ‘Did editors become more invisible and/or marginalized during COVID-19?’, and, ‘If so, what was the nature of this invisibility and/or marginalization?’ Editors were contacted in 2020 and 2022 to describe their editorial practice and its potential (in)visibility before, during, and after the 2020–2021 pandemic lockdowns. Their responses exposed their at times polarized experiences and work – life challenges, and ongoing systemic problems in industry.
生活的前世今生
好的 "编辑实践--这里指的是后发展的文案编辑工作--通常是以编辑的 "积极隐蔽性 "来衡量的(J. Hargrave,《出版与编辑实践教学》,剑桥大学出版社,2022 年)。传统上,编辑被认为是一个 "倾向于被推到边缘的角色",发生在 "幕后","无处不在,因此也无处不在"(S. Greenberg, "When the Editor Disappears, Does Editing Disappear?",Convergence, 2010, p.8);一个隐藏的、神秘的行业,只有从业者才知道。因此,编辑实践常常被(错误地)以页面上的物理隐蔽性来评判:即没有错误。编辑的价值取决于其积极的隐蔽性,其结果可能是被边缘化。在2020-2021年的COVID-19演出经济中,工作与家庭生活的区别基本上被消除了,在此背景下提出的核心问题简单来说就是:"编辑如何应对从工作到家庭的转变?","在COVID-19期间,编辑是否变得更加隐形和/或边缘化?",以及 "如果是,这种隐形和/或边缘化的性质是什么?我们在 2020 年和 2022 年联系了编辑,请他们描述在 2020-2021 年大流行封锁之前、期间和之后他们的编辑实践及其潜在的(不)可见性。他们的回答揭示了他们有时两极分化的经历、工作与生活的挑战以及行业中持续存在的系统性问题。
