ABSTRACT

Why would one send a postcard showing a department store or a housing estate? Did the people writing such postcards pay any attention to the image at all? Moreover, why did they send postcards from industrial cities in the first place? Using a sample of 64 postcards sent from four industrial cities, this paper analyses the messages sent via postcards in the decade following WWII. The overarching argument is that the postcards had a highly utilitarian function, different from cards sent as greetings during holidays, but at the same time linked to travel experiences. This use of postcards meant that the creators of the postcards had relative freedom in shaping the iconography of industrial cities across the continent.

看不见的城市:工业城市的明信片写作(1956-1988)

摘要

为什么要寄一张显示百货公司或住宅区的明信片?写这种明信片的人有没有注意过这张照片?而且,他们当初为什么要从工业城市寄明信片?本文以来自四个工业城市的 64 张明信片为样本,分析了二战后十年间通过明信片发送的信息。最重要的论点是,明信片具有高度实用的功能,不同于在假期作为问候发送的卡片,但同时与旅行体验相关联。明信片的这种使用意味着明信片的创作者在塑造整个大陆工业城市的形象方面具有相对自由。
