摘要

在“印刷革命”之前1000多年，中东发生了一次大规模的媒体变革，即8世纪纸张的引入。伴随着几次进一步的技术变革，新的书写表面——据说是由中国战俘带到中亚的——导致了文字来源的增加，“书籍爆炸”。在本文中，我研究了这种早期媒体转型的细节，调查了文学和历史资料如何讨论这一发展，并深入了解了它在短短几个世纪内所带来的发展。论文的主要部分涉及马穆鲁克时期(1250-1517)的资料来源，该时期见证了公共和个人生活的所有部分的彻底文字化。

An Early Media Transition in the Middle East

More than 1,000 years prior to the ‘print revolution’, a massive media transformation took place in the Middle East, namely, the introduction of paper during the eighth century. Accompanied by several further technological changes, the new writing surface—purportedly brought to Central Asia by Chinese prisoners of war—led to an increasing availability of written sources, an ‘explosion of books’. In this paper, I examine the details of this early media transformation, survey how literary and historical sources discussed this development and give insight into the developments it entailed in just a few centuries. The main part of the paper deals with sources from the Mamluk period (1250–1517) that witnessed a thorough literarization of all parts of communal and personal life.

期刊介绍： The Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication provides a transcultural academic sphere that engages Middle Eastern and Western scholars in a critical dialogue about culture, communication and politics in the Middle East. It also provides a forum for debate on the region’s encounters with modernity and the ways in which this is reshaping people’s everyday experiences. MEJCC’s long-term objective is to provide a vehicle for developing the field of study into communication and culture in the Middle East. The Journal encourages work that reconceptualizes dominant paradigms and theories of communication to take into account local cultural particularities.
