摘要

我把“xanadu”这个词当作一个“meme”,从17世纪的一本书,到19世纪的一首诗(柯勒律治的《忽必拉汗》),再到20世纪,它被一部经典电影(《公民凯恩》)、一个正在进行的软件开发项目(Ted Nelson的“xanadu项目”)和另一部电影和热门歌曲——奥利维亚·牛顿-约翰的“xanadu”所采用。当你bb0这个词时,总结果可以看到,你得到了600万次点击。有趣的是,虽然其中一些与柯勒律治的诗直接相关,但更多的似乎与尼尔森的软件项目、奥利维亚·牛顿-约翰的电影和歌曲有关,以及(间接地)与威尔斯的电影有关。因此,一群世外桃源是高科技的,而另一群世外桃源则是奢侈和过度的(然后是曼彻斯特换手俱乐部世外桃源)。

One Candle, a Thousand Points of Light: The Xanadu Meme
I treat a single word 'xanadu', as a 'meme' and follow it from a 17th century book, to a 19th century poem (Coleridge's "Kubla Khan"), into the 20th century where it was picked up by a classic movie ("Citizen Kane"), an ongoing software development project (Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu), and another movie and hit song, Olivia Newton-John's Xanadu. The aggregate result can be seen when you google the word, you get 6 million hits. What is interesting about those hits is that, while some of them are directly related to Coleridge's poem, more seem to be related to Nelson's software project, Olivia Newton-John's film and song, and (indirectly) to Welles' movie. Thus one cluster of Xanadu sites is high tech while another is about luxury and excess (and then there's the Manchester Swingers Club Xanadu).
