摘要

“化学亲和”探讨了化学与视觉文化在漫长的19世纪是如何交织在一起的,重点关注摄影作为污染的物质原因和视觉化污染的美学手段所起的作用。化学分层是所有19世纪摄影和摄影印刷的共同维度,使摄影成为19世纪化学革命的副产品,不亚于肥料和纸张。利用数百种视觉表现形式(绘画、雕刻、照片和图表),其中大部分位于英格兰北部的当地、科学和商业档案中,我的研究将摄影作为一种材料、经济和社会过程:一种采掘资源,在记录有形的现在和过去被逮捕的时刻的同时,提出了关于全球未来的问题。在这里,我考察了19世纪柴郡威德尼斯的工业,作为摄影对土地和人类的化学影响的一个特别具有代表性和令人不安的地点,以及它在记录和记录方面的仪器,并在这样做的过程中有希望揭露和缓和这些影响。文章最后对摄影档案和批判工业遗产研究对19世纪化学工业及其遗产的历史认识的价值进行了思考。

Chemical affinities: photography, extraction, and industrial heritage in nineteenth-century northern England
ABSTRACT “Chemical Affinities” explores how chemistry and visual culture were entwined in the long nineteenth century, focusing here on the role of photography as both a material cause of pollution and the aesthetic means to visualize the pollution that it caused. Chemical layering was a common dimension of all nineteenth-century photography and photographic printing, making photography a by-product of the chemical revolution of the nineteenth century, no less than fertilizer and paper. Drawing on hundreds of visual representations (drawings, engravings, photographs, and graphs), most of them located in local, scientific, and business archives in northern England, my research approaches photography as a material, economic, and social process: an extractive resource that raises questions about the global future alongside recording the tangible present and arrested moments of the past. Here, I examine the nineteenth-century industry in Widnes, Cheshire, as a particularly representative and vexed site of photography’s chemical effects on land and people, as well as its instrumentation in documenting and recording – and in so doing promising to expose and moderate – those effects. The article concludes with some reflections on the value of photographic archives and critical industrial heritage studies for historical understanding of nineteenth-century chemical industry and its legacies.

期刊介绍: Nineteenth-Century Contexts is committed to interdisciplinary recuperations of “new” nineteenth centuries and their relation to contemporary geopolitical developments. The journal challenges traditional modes of categorizing the nineteenth century by forging innovative contextualizations across a wide spectrum of nineteenth century experience and the critical disciplines that examine it. Articles not only integrate theories and methods of various fields of inquiry — art, history, musicology, anthropology, literary criticism, religious studies, social history, economics, popular culture studies, and the history of science, among others.
