Abstract:

This essay uses the leading Chartist weekly, the Northern Star, as a case study to explore what the digitised archive can tell us about time, place, and gender in the Chartist movement. Margaret Beetham’s studies of the Victorian periodical draw attention to the occupation and, especially in the case of working-class women, the assertion of space and time. More recently, she has argued the crucial role of the Victorian periodical in recontextualising time and “the now” during the industrial process. Building on Beetham’s work, I consider how the contents of Victorian periodicals were and continue to be taken out of context and consumed in new times and places.

摘要：

本文以《宪章》周刊的主要刊物《北极星》为例，探讨数字档案馆可以告诉我们有关宪章运动的时间，地点和性别的信息。玛格丽特·比瑟姆（Margaret Beetham）对维多利亚时代期刊的研究引起了人们对职业的关注，尤其是对于工人阶级妇女而言，时空的主张。最近，她提出了维多利亚时代期刊在重新定义工业过程中的时间和“现在”的背景中的关键作用。我以比瑟姆的作品为基础，考虑了维多利亚时代期刊的内容如何并将继续取而代之，并在新时代和新地方被广泛使用。
