摘要

在第一次世界大战中，英国军队在整个组织中实行每日记录。尽管对军队的作战效能和史学至关重要，但作为中介文物的单位战争日记的历史在很大程度上被忽视了。本文研究了文化、制度实践和迄今为止未被注意的写作技术之间的相互作用，这些技术涉及到操作记录保存的调解。它揭示了部队战争日记不仅是军队信息管理实践的容器或管道，而且是官僚机构、技术和个人之间紧张关系的纽带，这些紧张关系塑造了对战争的理解。

‘Scribbled hastily in pencil’: The mediation of World War I Unit War Diaries

In World War I, the British Army implemented daily record keeping throughout its organization. Despite being crucial to the army’s operational effectiveness and essential for historiography, the history of Unit War Diaries as mediated artefacts has been largely overlooked. This article investigates the interplay of culture, institutional practices and hitherto unnoticed technologies of writing involved in the mediation of operational record keeping. It reveals Unit War Diaries as not just containers or conduits in the army’s practices of Information Management but as the nexus of tensions between bureaucracy, technologies and individuals that have shaped the understanding of warfare.

期刊介绍： Media, War & Conflict is a major new international, peer-reviewed journal that maps the shifting arena of war, conflict and terrorism in an intensively and extensively mediated age. It will explore cultural, political and technological transformations in media-military relations, journalistic practices, and new media, and their impact on policy, publics, and outcomes of warfare. Media, War & Conflict is the first journal to be dedicated to this field. It will publish substantial research articles, shorter pieces, book reviews, letters and commentary, and will include an images section devoted to visual aspects of war and conflict.
