Abstract:

Historical research on how people have come to identify as part of "the people" as a political collective has not paid much attention to the development of a market for visual news. To show how this market might have shaped political subjectivity, this essay analyses how magazines like the Illustrated London News, L'Illustration, and the Illustrirte Zeitung created a standardized pictorial language for depicting multitudes as political actors. It argues that this language was closely tied to the affordances of the magazines as periodicals, especially their ability to link images serially, and promoted a detached way of seeing popular mobilisation.

摘要：

关于人们如何将“人民”视为政治集体的一部分的历史研究并未过多关注视觉新闻市场的发展。为了展示这个市场如何塑造政治主体性，本文分析了伦敦新闻画报、L'Illustration和Illustrirte Zeitung等杂志如何创造一种标准化的图像语言来将大众描绘成政治参与者。它认为，这种语言与杂志作为期刊的可供性密切相关，尤其是它们连续链接图像的能力，并促进了一种看待大众动员的超然方式。
