摘要

本文介绍了将三种语料库分析工具应用于托马斯·品钦的《万有引力之虹》所产生的结果:词频/关键词分析、社会网络分析和主题建模。它利用这些数据来论证这部小说特别关注当下的概念。这篇文章沿袭了关于这本书的浪漫主义本质及其“连通性”的传统论点，展示了远距阅读如何帮助我们感知压倒性文本中不容易感知的方面，从而补充而不是反对近距离阅读的做法。

A Phenomenology of the Present: Toward a Digital Understanding of Gravity’s Rainbow

This essay presents the results produced by the application of three corpus analysis tools to Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow: word frequency/keyness analysis, social network analysis, and topic modeling. It uses these data to argue that the novel is peculiarly concerned with the concept of the present moment. Engaging along the way traditional arguments about the nature of the book’s Romanticism and its sense of “connectedness,” the essay demonstrates how distant reading can aid us in perceiving aspects of overwhelming texts that are not easy to perceive otherwise, consequently complementing rather than opposing close reading practices.
