Abstract
Cities are real, physical, material concentrations of human activities and built environments, but they are also portals that allow and require unique ways of perceiving relations across space and time. Photography, especially the genre of seductive urban landscape views so often deployed by airlines, realtors, and city boosters, distorts our perceptions of space-time. These distortions are particularly serious in the unique configuration of Indigeneity and transnationalization that constitutes the lands presently known as Canada and British Columbia. Drawing inspiration from Sontag's dark but essential Regarding the Pain of Others, and focusing on the Vancouver global city region, this article seeks to develop critical captions for urban landscape views as what Eugène Atget portrayed as crime-scene evidence.
城市是真实的、有形的、物质的人类活动和建筑环境的集中地，但同时也是门户，允许并要求以独特的方式感知跨越时空的关系。摄影，尤其是航空公司、房地产商和城市宣传者经常使用的极具诱惑力的城市景观摄影，扭曲了我们对时空的感知。这些扭曲在构成目前加拿大和不列颠哥伦比亚省这块土地的土著性和跨国化的独特结构中尤为严重。本文从桑塔格的《关于他人的痛苦》（Regarding the Pain of Others）一书中汲取灵感，以温哥华全球城市地区为重点，试图为尤金-阿特盖特（Eugène Atget）描绘的犯罪现场证据--城市景观视图--制定批判性的标题。
