在本文中,我们将通过叙事符号学的视角,探讨32位爱德华时代(1901-1914)的名人如何在他们的画册中塑造“自我”。以Zhao and Zappavigna, 2018a, Zhao and Zappavigna, 2018b, Zhao and Zappavigna, 2020, Ross and Zappavigna, 2020自拍类类学为出发点,借鉴Bamberg and Georgakopoulou(2008)的定位分析,我们将在档案研究中收集的民族历史见解中嵌入用户的视觉安排和叙事立场元素。将这些选择根植于其最初的社会历史创作背景中,将证明,与自拍一样,图画书板是动态的多模态集合,使用户能够构建多种身份并实现不同的交流目标。然而,它将提供一个更细致入微的视角来看待“新”和“旧”媒体之间的关系,这表明,尽管图片书板和自拍的形式和功能相似,但它们的创作受到不同的意识形态价值观的指导,并受到当时的支持、规范和传统的限制。本文中提出的方法和发现将有助于越来越多的跨历史研究,这些研究涉及将通信技术置于技术介导的变革的更广泛的历史中。
In this paper, we will explore, through a narrative-semiotic lens, how 32 Edwardian (1901–1914) celebrities style the ‘self’ in their pictorial bookplates. Using Zhao and Zappavigna, 2018a, Zhao and Zappavigna, 2018b, Zhao and Zappavigna, 2020, Ross and Zappavigna, 2020 typology of selfies as a starting point and drawing upon aspects of Bamberg and Georgakopoulou’s (2008) positioning analysis, we will embed users’ visual arrangements and narrative stance-taking elements in ethnohistorical insights gathered from archival research. Grounding these choices in evidence from their original sociohistorical context of creation will demonstrate that, like selfies, pictorial bookplates are dynamic multimodal ensembles that enable users to construct multiple identities and achieve different communicative goals. However, it will offer a more nuanced perspective into the relationship between ‘new’ and ‘old’ media, suggesting that, despite the similar forms and functions of pictorial bookplates and selfies, their creation is guided by different ideological values and bounded by the affordances, norms and traditions of the time. The methodology and findings presented in this paper will contribute to the growing body of transhistorical research that is concerned with situating communication technologies in the wider history of technologically mediated change.
