Miniature books, eighteenth-century novels, Tom Thumb weddings, tall tales, and objects of tourism and nostalgia: this diverse group of cultural forms is the subject of On Longing, a fascinating analysis of the ways in which everyday objects are narrated to animate or realize certain versions of the world. Originally published in 1984 (Johns Hopkins University Press), and now available in paperback for the first time, this highly original book draws on insights from semiotics and from psychoanalytic, feminist, and marxist criticism. Addressing the relations of language to experience, the body to scale, and narratives to objects, Susan Stewart looks at the "miniature" as a metaphor for interiority and at the "gigantic" as an exaggeration of aspects of the exterior. In the final part of her essay Stewart examines the ways in which the "souvenir" and the "collection" are objects mediating experience in time and space.

The printed text is cinematic before the invention of cinema. The adjustable speed of narration, the manipulability of the visual, turns the reader into a spectator enveloped by, yet clearly separated from, the time and space of the text…Butor goes on to say that in reading dialogue and in reading letters embedded in the text, we are aware of "going the same speed as" the characters of the novel. Hence we have the problem of speaking/ reading plays a reading which borders on enactment and performance. In the simultaneity of print, with its rather remarkable capacity for storing information, we find an increasingly complex set of time systems. The project of the realistic novelist is to move a complex set of characters through a complex set of interrelated actions; in other words, to acquir... (查看原文)
In a suggestive article on the relation between the development of film and the development of late capitalism, Stanley Aronowitz has stated that "film is the synchronous art form of late capitalism. The film-machine is the enemy of time no less than mass production; it reproduces desire as its product, removes the referent, the signified, and leaves only the act of signifying." (查看原文)

苏珊·史都华（Susan Stewart）这本On Longing（1993）没有翻译成中文，实在是件憾事。无论是学术地位，还是可读性，这本书都值得引介。更何况，现在“物质性转向”愈演愈烈，很多人忽然患上恋物癖，这本讲“物”的书应该很受欢迎吧。 书的副标题叫做“Narratives of the Minia...
