Vision & Revision: Post-Romantic Particularism and Poetic Cognition in the Journals of RF Langley and JA Baker

本文提出把视觉与修正的关系作为一个透镜，通过它来阅读RF兰利、JA贝克等人的期刊论文。它的目的是微妙的日志和散文写作的松散构成的历史，“包括多萝西华兹华斯，罗斯金，霍普金斯，和阿德里安斯托克斯”，通过重新架构这些期刊，和他们的关注都与自然的观察和观察的性质，在实地考察和“现场笔记”的背景下。这样读来，这些文本可以说是动摇了日志形式的惯例，在其中定位了一个特定的实验空间，介于田野日志、日记和诗歌之间，在这个空间中，诗歌感知、表达和认知的模式可以被试验、审查、编辑和删减。本论文将以档案研究为基础，以海德格尔的理论框架为基础，借鉴让-卢克马里恩的现象学，以及文化地理学和实验批评的最新发展。它将显示这些文本有一个重要的当代意义，无论是在他们的照明的方法和煽动最近的地方写作，并在其相关性的紧迫问题的关注在环境退化的背景下的伦理。

This thesis proposes to take the relationship between vision and revision as a lens through which to read the journalpractises of RF Langley, JA Baker and others. It aims to subtilise a loosely-constituted history of journal and essaywriting that 'includes Dorothy Wordsworth, Ruskin, Hopkins, and Adrian Stokes', by reframing these journals, and theirconcern both with the observation of nature and with the nature of observation, in the context of biogeographicalfieldwork and 'field notes'. Read thus, these texts can be said to destabilise the conventions of the journal form, locatingin it a particular experimental space somewhere between field journal, diary and poem, in which modes of poeticperception, articulation and cognition can be trialled, scrutinised, edited and expurgated. This thesis will be grounded inarchival study and informed by a Heideggerian theoretical framework, drawing also on the phenomenology of Jean-LucMarion, and recent developments in Cultural Geography and experimental criticism. It will show these texts to have animportant contemporary significance both in their illumination of the approaches and agitations of recent place-writing,and in their relevance to urgent questions about the ethics of attention in the context of environmental degradation.
