2001 年 9 月 12 日，正如汉斯-彼得·费尔德曼 (Hans-Peter Feldmann) 在其 2002 年装置《9/12 Front Page》中所记录的那样，来自 151 个国家的报纸头版显示了一架飞机撞向世贸中心的类似照片。尽管跨文化对当时最显着的形象达成了一致，但在此后的十年里，9/11 的独特视觉叙事在报纸周年纪念新闻中出现了。本文探讨了《纽约时报》（美国）和《世界报》（法国）如何在 9/11 周年纪念报道中使用照片、广告和社论漫画。我利用集体记忆和摄影理论以及 9/11 受害者的人口统计数据，研究了受害者的摄影表现如何发生变化，从而提供了一个不太复杂的事件故事。我记录了重新流传的图像，并讨论了为什么视觉图标的出现对我们对 9/11 的集体记忆很重要。我还探讨了报纸与事件的接近程度如何影响他们的视觉周年纪念新闻报道。
On 12 September 2001, as Hans-Peter Feldmann documented in his 2002 installation 9/12 Front Page, the front pages of newspapers from 151 countries showed similar photographs of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center. Despite this cross-cultural agreement on the most salient image at the time, in the decade since, distinct visual narratives of 9/11 have emerged in newspaper anniversary journalism. This paper examines how The New York Times (US) and Le Monde (France) have used photographs, advertisements, and editorial cartoons in 9/11 anniversary journalism. Using theories of collective memory and photography, along with demographic data of 9/11 victims, I examine how photographic representations of the victims have changed, offering a less complex story of events. I document the images that have been recirculated and discuss why the emergence of visual icons matters to our collective memory of 9/11. And I explore how the papers’ proximity to the events influenced their visual anniversary journalism.
