摘要

摘要:本文将实时性理解为一种面向当下及其文档的取向，而不是一种具体的(数字确定的)技术信息，并将实时性定位于20世纪30年代英国蓬勃发展的摄影小报文化。它追溯了两次世界大战期间信息传播和流通的技术创新如何影响读者与其“现实生活”环境之间的电路。此外，通过与伊芙琳·沃(Evelyn Waugh)的《邪恶的身体》(1930)——一部介于小说和小报增刊之间的文本——的接触，它表明了实时新习惯的、忧郁的阅读模式可能会如何推动个人在面对个人痛苦和集体暴力时袖手旁观。

The Passing Hour: 1930s Real-Time, Vile Bodies, and the Ethics of Reading

Abstract:Understanding real-time as an orientation toward the present and its documentation as opposed to a concrete (digitally determined) technological affordance, this article locates real-time in the burgeoning photographic tabloid culture of 1930s Britain. It traces how technical innovations in information transmission and circulation during the interwar years impacted the circuits between readers and their "real life" environment. Moreover, by engaging with Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies (1930), a text strung between novel and tabloid supplement, it suggests how real-time's newly habituated, melancholic modes of reading might push individuals to stand by in the face of individual pain and mass violence.
