Abstract:

This essay engages with Margaret Beetham’s ideas about embodiment, disembodiment, and power in relation to print to explore a series of anonymous articles entitled “Slumming in Whitechapel,” published in the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph between October 27 and November 17, 1888, at the height of the Jack the Ripper case. Combining biographical research into the life and career of the unnamed author, Lillie Harris (1863–1921), with in-depth textual analysis of the four articles, it argues that Harris’s embodiment of the female investigative journalist comes at a double cost, disembodying her as an individual and reducing the embodied working-class subjects of Whitechapel to objects.

摘要：

本文结合玛格丽特·比瑟姆（Margaret Beetham）关于印刷品的体现，分解和力量的观点，探讨了一系列匿名文章，题为“白教堂的沉陷”，该文章于1888年10月27日至11月17日在谢菲尔德每周电讯报上发表，开膛手杰克的箱子。将传记研究结合到无名作者莉莉·哈里斯（Lillie Harris，1863–1921）的生活和事业中，并结合对这四篇文章的深入文本分析，认为哈里斯对女调查记者的化身要付出双倍的代价，将她的肢体化作为个体，并将白教堂体现出来的工人阶级主体化为对象。
