摘要 在这篇文章中，我们重点讨论了“交换系统”，报纸编辑们通过该系统相互同意转载彼此的材料。剪报、引用、浓缩和再版工作是十九世纪末二十世纪初新闻编辑室工作模式的创造性部分。交换系统为编辑和作者提供了跨国资源，使他们能够尝试新的声音和新的表达形式。报纸是拼贴画，由编辑们从流通的印刷品中吸出材料，将剪报组装在页面上，然后将其全部印刷出来。报纸出版后被拆解、剪裁、重新复印并存档。这里收集的文章表明，出版是一些作品进入新领域的跳板。读者将报纸剪开，然后将它们重新组装到剪贴簿、文件夹和档案中。通过这种降级，他们将文本重新塑造为团结的象征、承诺的象征和目的的证明。我们这里的目的是拆掉报纸，把粘贴在页面上的纸片脱开，并追踪文本进出印刷的循环通道。
ABSTRACT In this essay – which frames this special issue of Social Dynamics – we focus on the “exchange system,” by which newspaper editors mutually consented to reprint material from each other. The work of clipping, citation, condensation and republication were a creative part of the working pattern in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century newsrooms. The exchange system furnished editors and authors with transnational resources by which to experiment with new voices and new forms of address. Newspapers were collages, pasted together by editors who vacuumed material out of a circulating print commons, assembled clippings on the page, and brought it all to print. After publication newspapers were disassembled, clipped, recopied, and archived. The essays collected here show publication to be a springboard by which some compositions vaulted into new domains. Readers clipped newspapers apart and reassembled them in scrapbooks, in folders, and in archives. By this downcycling they refashioned texts as emblems of solidarity, as signifiers of commitments, and as proof of purpose. Our purpose here is to deaccession newspapers, unglue the bits of paper pasted onto the page, and trace the looping passage of texts into and out of print.
