十八世纪英国印刷文化中的情感与书写的剧场性——休谟与近代文人的形成（英文）

Theatricality of Writing and Emotion in the Eighteenth Century British Print Culture: David Hume and the Making of Literary Career

书籍史家及文化史家认为,十八世纪的英国是近代意义上印刷文化日渐进入社会日常生活的历史时期。这引起了近代书写生产机制与文本文化的兴起。论文从关于"情感"这个在十八世纪非常关键的关于身体的美学观念出发,探讨在休谟的书写体系中,作为主体间性的情感如何契合了近代印刷文化逻辑,以及休谟在近代知识生产的意识下是如何发展自己文人职业生涯的。论文侧重于从物质性的讨论出发,探讨近代书写机制、剧场性个体感官和知觉情感史之间的关系。

The eighteenth century Britain witnessed a proliferation of modern print culture,which gives rise to the modern institution of the production of literary writing.David Hume and his moral philosophy writing are part of this mechanism in the making.This essay examines the transition of his treatise writing to essay writing as part of his maneuver of literary publications.It presents a history of materiality in writing through an investigation of its institutionalization,its dovetailing with the formation of modern theatrical selfhood,and a possible perceptual history of emotions in the genealogy of modern western subjectivity.
