Spectacular Realities: Early Mass Culture in Fin-de-Siècle ParisUniversity of California Press, 1998年1月25日 - 243 頁 During the second half of the nineteenth century, Paris emerged as the entertainment capital of the world. The sparkling redesigned city fostered a culture of energetic crowd-pleasing and multi-sensory amusements that would apprehend and represent real life as spectacle. Vanessa R. Schwartz examines the explosive popularity of such phenomena as the boulevards, the mass press, public displays of corpses at the morgue, wax museums, panoramas, and early film. Drawing on a wide range of written and visual materials, including private and business archives, and working at the intersections of art history, literature, and cinema studies, Schwartz argues that "spectacular realities" are part of the foundation of modern mass society. She refutes the notion that modern life produced an unending parade of distractions leading to alienation, and instead suggests that crowds gathered not as dislocated spectators but as members of a new kind of crowd, one united in pleasure rather than protest. |

第 43 頁 - A la lanterne" and "A bas" this man and that. I don't think they know the meaning of shame or fear; the women no less than the men crowd round nudities as much as they do round corpses in the morgue or the ghastly posters in the streets announcing a new novel in this or that newspaper and simultaneously showing a sample of its content. They are people given to psychical epidemics, historical mass convulsions and they haven't changed since Victor Hugo wrote Notre-Dame.

第 10 頁 - There is no question of inventing the flaneuse: the essential point is that such a character was rendered impossible by the sexual divisions of the nineteenth century.

第 69 頁 - Once the newspapers announce a crime, one sees a great number of the curious arrive at the Morgue."20 And, of course, when a large crowd gathered at the Morgue, it then became the subject of further news reports, which in turn kept the corpse, the unsolved crime, and the Morgue in the public eye and guaranteed a steady stream of spectators on the quai de I'Archeveche.
