摘要

本文强调视觉来源在构建真理中的积极作用，而不是仅仅将其视为文献证据。本文以一张1914年洛杉矶的照片为例，展示了新唯物主义者如何在研究和教学中批判性地利用视觉资源来研究它们如何塑造意义。它认为，图像是唯一适合揭示人类和非人类之间的纠缠，同时捕捉在文本来源中经常被忽视的意外细节。尤其是照片，它提供了一种引人注目的方式，以一种更容易理解的形式来传达抽象的概念——比如物质的活力和创造力。

On the Cover: Seeing Like a New Materialist.

Rather than treating visual sources as mere documentary evidence, this essay emphasizes their active role in constructing truth. Using a 1914 photograph of Los Angeles as a case study, the essay demonstrates how new materialists can critically engage with visual sources in both research and teaching to examine how they shape meaning. It argues that images are uniquely suited to reveal the entanglements between humans and nonhumans while capturing unintended details often overlooked in textual sources. Photographs, in particular, offer a compelling means to convey abstract concepts-such as matter's vitality and creativity-in a more accessible form.
