摘要

关于德昆西对当代生活的速度和流动性的迷恋，人们已经说了很多。这篇文章认为，我们还需要认识到一种强烈的缓慢感，这种缓慢感伴随着德昆西对速度的迷恋而发展。散步、阅读和鳄鱼的形象等活动提供了缓慢的例子，使德昆西对速度的执着变得复杂。最终，这篇文章表明，速度和缓慢之间令人担忧的关系，为德·昆西的媒体和流动性体验增添了色彩，这澄清了《忏悔录》的情感景观，它以旷日持久的情感体验为标志，包括无聊、渴望和怀旧。

De Quincey's Slowness

Much has been said about De Quincey's fascination with the speed and mobility of contemporary life. This essay argues that we need also to recognize an acute sense of slowness that develops alongside De Quincey's fascination with speed. Activities like walking and reading and the figure of the crocodile offer examples of slowness that complicate De Quincey's fixation with speed. Ultimately, this essay suggests that the fraught relationship between speed and slowness that colours De Quincey's experiences of media and mobility clarifies the emotional landscape of the ‘Confessions’, marked as it is by drawn-out affective experiences, including boredom, longing, and nostalgia.
