摘要

摘要:思考为什么远程阅读作品已经引起了某种误解。这篇文章的读者可能会从它的标题中推断出，我的意思是讨论佛朗哥·莫雷蒂的理论，或者为文化分析研究辩护，反对怀疑论者的批评。这两个都不是我的重点。这篇文章的论点在某种程度上是狭隘的，因为我在很大程度上搁置了关于“数字人文”或计算在批评中的作用的争论，但它也更广泛，因为我希望提请读者注意一系列具有非常广泛应用的问题和关注点。我的目标是阐明一个指导理论，解释为什么以及在什么条件下，远距阅读作为一种可行的方法，可以对过去的文化做出真实的陈述。

Why Distant Reading Works

Abstract:To consider why distant reading works is already to invite a certain kind of misunderstanding. Readers of this essay are likely to infer from its title that I mean to discuss the theories of Franco Moretti or to defend research in cultural analytics against criticism from skeptics. Neither of those is my focus. The argument of this essay is in some ways narrower, in that I largely set aside polemical debates over "digital humanities" or the role of computation in criticism, but it is also broader, in that I hope to draw readers' attention to a set of issues and concerns with a very wide application. My goal is to articulate a guiding theory that explains why and under what conditions distant reading works as a viable method for making true statements about the cultural past.

期刊介绍： New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
