摘要

虽然历史文化材料向使用者介绍过去,但它们也可能包含使长期根深蒂固的歧视模式永久化的语言。在组织和提供对这些材料的访问时,文化遗产机构必须与现代受众的理解和观点协调历史语言和背景。从一个探索历史术语和个人身份的表现和访问的更大项目中摘录,目前的工作提供了关于如何使用知识组织系统来帮助现代用户面对和理解档案中过去的歧视性语言的见解。使用从19世纪和20世纪杂剧演员照片标题中提取的关键词,这项工作详细介绍了一个地图词典的构建,该词典汇集了来自多个词汇来源的相应术语以及旨在向现代观众解释历史术语的注释。这本词典的发展揭示了几种主要的有问题的和潜在歧视的语言,包括历史委婉语、用词不当、过时的术语和耸人听闻的绰号。完成后的词典提供了通过解释性注释来解决这些问题的机会,并为这些和其他历史材料提供了更丰富、多视角的主题分析方法。

Confronting and Addressing Historical Discriminations through KOS: A Case Study of Terminology in the Becker-Eisenmann Collection
While historical cultural materials inform users of the past, they may also contain language that perpetuates long-entrenched patterns of discrimination. In organizing and providing access to such materials, cultural heritage institutions must negotiate historical language and context with the comprehension and perspectives of modern audiences. Excerpted from a larger project exploring representation and access around historical terminology and personal identity, the present work offers insight into how knowl­edge organization systems may be used to help modern users confront and make sense of past, discriminatory language in the archive. Using keywords drawn from the titles of 19th and 20th sideshow performer photographs, this work details the construction of a mapping dictionary that brings together corresponding terminology from several vocabulary sources along with annotations designed to explain historical terms to modern audiences. The development of this dictionary revealed several major types of problematic and potentially discriminatory language including historical euphemisms, misnomers, outdated terms, and sensationalist monikers. The finished dictionary offers opportunities to address these through explanatory annotations and to provide a richer, multi-perspective approach to subject analysis for these and other historical materials.
