Patricia Mainardi, Another World
另一個世界
Professor Patricia Mainardi has a new book in production, to be published in 2016 by Yale University Press. It is entitled Another World, and it discusses the development of printed imagery in the Western World. Richly illustrated with 200 images, 40 of them in color, it reveals to twenty-first century readers the origins of our own world where we are bombarded with images on a daily basis, from television and the cinema, books, magazines and daily newspapers. This revolution took place during the nineteenth century, which was, in terms of printed imagery, 『another world.』 Between the late-eighteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, more prints, illustrated books, magazines and newspapers were produced than in all previous centuries combined. Her book is about that tidal wave of imagery that ushered in the modern world where photographic imagery has swamped all the rest.
Patricia Mainardi教授的新書,《另一個世界》將於2016年由耶魯大學出版社出版。該書收錄了200幅畫作,其中40幅為彩色畫,針對西方印刷版畫作的變遷進行探討。該書向21世紀的讀者展示出從19世紀開始,這段時間也是被印刷界稱之為的『另一個世界』,我們世界中如何出現了在日常生活中的隨處可見的圖片,無論是電視到電影,圖書,雜志還是每日新聞。從18世紀後期到20世紀初,人們生產出的印制品,帶有插圖的圖書,雜志和報紙的數量比在此之前所有類似產品的總和還多。她的書中探討了引領現代思潮的圖片之風,並由此開啟照片在我們生活中大行其道之勢。
The book is organized chronologically to highlight the invention of each new illustrated print medium: caricature and lithography; the illustrated press and wood engraving; the sequential narration of comics; the proliferation of illustrated books; and popular prints. It reveals a vast quantity of visual imagery that is rich and rewarding, and explains how our world of images, from tabloid newspapers to comics to the nightly news, came into being.
該書以時間數序展開,並突出了每次圖媒介質的重要變革,例如諷刺畫和平板印刷,插圖印刷和木板刻印,連環漫畫,插圖書籍的普及和流行印刷等。書中還提供了大量的相關資料來幫助我們了解這些內容的形成過程。
