本文探讨了业余和专业纪录片实践的融合，特别是摄影自画像，因为它是在山腰上进行。它从被称为“Wainwrights”的登山者社区中选取了严格的例子来研究“produsage”现象（Bruns）。虽然数字共同创造的人工制品的世界似乎离山顶很远，但我在这里认为，高峰和山顶并不比其他任何空间更能免受社交媒体的影响。在这种背景下，本文试图回答一系列与“峰会自拍”实践相关的问题：由徒步旅行者制作并在登山者的紧密网络社区中传播的自制数字艺术品是什么样子的？是什么让这些山脉激发了这种中介化的自我表达形式？人工制品是如何进化和转化的，以形成阿克塞尔布伦斯所说的“复制”？这些问题的讨论与位于英格兰湖区国家公园的三个主要例子有关：凯伦的福斯特的214头倒立，我自己在支柱峰上庆祝“完成”;以及夏洛特梅洛尔的#HoopingtheWainwrights项目。文章最后将自拍重新定位为一种集体创造性行为，并挑战其作为年轻自私表达的流行代表。
This article examines the convergence of amateur and professional documentary practice, particularly photographic self-portraiture, as it is performed on the mountainside. It uses a tight selection of examples drawn from the community of hillwalkers known as ‘Wainwrighters’ to examine the phenomenon of ‘produsage’ (Bruns ).While the world of digitally co-created artefacts may seem a distance away from the top of a mountain, I argue here that high peaks and mountain tops are no more immune from the influence of social media than any other space. In this context, the article seeks to answer a series of questions relating to the practice of taking ‘summit selfies’: What do the self-made digital artworks produced by walkers, and disseminated in tight-knit online communities of mountain hikers, look like? What is it about the mountains that provokes such forms of mediatized self-expression? And how do artefacts evolve and transform, to form ‘palimpsests’ as Axel Bruns terms the outputs of produsage? These questions are discussed in relation to three main examples sited in the Lake District National Park in England: Karen’s Forster’s214 Headstands, my own celebration of ‘Completion’ on the peak of Pillar; and Charlotte Mellor’s#HoopingtheWainwrightsproject.The article concludes by repositioning the selfie as a collective creative act and challenging its popular representation as an expression of youthful selfishness.
