摘要

这篇文章探讨了最近出版的两本书,这两本书分别探讨了与美国文学和种族有关的数据体这一棘手问题:Richard Jean So 的《Redlining Culture:和伊丽莎白-罗德里格斯(Elizabeth Rodrigues)的《收集生命》:二十世纪早期美国文学中作为现代主义美学的批判性数据叙事》。每本书都以自己的方式要求文学学者认真对待作为研究对象和研究方法的数据语料库。在承认数据体的收集长期以来一直被用来抹杀、非人化和种族化的同时,苏晓明和罗德里格斯要求读者不要被动地否定数据体的潜力,数据体也有可能成为一种意想不到的工具,用来驳斥那些同样的归化和全面化的叙述。这两本书思考了将单个点累积成集体数据的独特时间性和空间性,探讨了数据语料库的外观、感觉和声音,以及它可能告诉我们的关于身体、二十世纪美国文学中的书籍以及关于两者的故事之间的关系。罗德里格斯(Rodrigues)和索(So)以不同的方式思考了数据体、文学和美国种族之间的复杂关系,他们分别证明了,虽然数据不能为自己说话,但如果没有数据的帮助,有些故事我们既听不到、看不到,也说不出来。

Data Bodies
This essay examines two recent books that each take up the vexed topic bodies of data in relation to literature and race in the US: Richard Jean So’s Redlining Culture: A Data History of Racial Inequality and Postwar Fiction and Elizabeth Rodrigues’s Collecting Lives: Critical Data Narrative as Modernist Aesthetic in Early Twentieth-Century U.S. Literatures. Each book, in its own way, asks literary scholars to take the data corpus seriously as both an object and a method of study. While acknowledging that the collection of bodies of data has long been used to efface, dehumanize, and racialize, So and Rodrigues ask readers not to dismiss reactively the data corpus’s potential to also be an unexpected tool for refuting those same naturalized and totalizing narratives. Contemplating, as they do, the unique temporality and spatiality of the accretion of singular points into a collective data, the books explore what a data corpus looks, feels, and sounds like and what it might tell us about the relationship between bodies, books in twentieth-century US literature, and the stories that have and could be told about both.Thinking in different ways about the vexed relationship between bodies of data, literature, and race in the US, Rodrigues and So each demonstrate that, while data cannot speak for itself, there are some stories we can neither hear, see, nor tell without its help.

期刊介绍: Recent Americanist scholarship has generated some of the most forceful responses to questions about literary history and theory. Yet too many of the most provocative essays have been scattered among a wide variety of narrowly focused publications. Covering the study of US literature from its origins through the present, American Literary History provides a much-needed forum for the various, often competing voices of contemporary literary inquiry. Along with an annual special issue, the journal features essay-reviews, commentaries, and critical exchanges. It welcomes articles on historical and theoretical problems as well as writers and works. Inter-disciplinary studies from related fields are also invited.
