ABSTRACTThis paper introduces the idea of Coronalag, a concept derived from the experience of disaster time in 2020, and one that we hope assists in the ongoing interrogation of time as a venue for the exercise of power in a disaster. First, in introducing Coronalag, we are attentive to disparate experiences of the pandemic across spaces and communities, shared in and among those settings in real time, often through social and other virtual media. Next, we explore the efforts of disaster management officials to manage the lag of time between outbreak, state action, and viable pandemic control. Governmental disaster management in the face of Coronalag was often performed theatrically with hygiene rituals, with reams of data and with daily press conferences all in the service of ‘flattening the curve’. Last, we extend the Coronalag concept to encompass the many extraordinary efforts of people in the United States and around the world to repackage time into increments that captured their frustrations with structures of racism, capitalism, and other forms of oppression. Pandemic time shifted perspectives and opened opportunities for protesters and dissidents to craft new time zones, harnessing the strangeness of disaster time and using it for their own empowerment.KEYWORDS: CoronalagCOVIDdisastertimehistory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

摘要本文介绍了Coronalag的概念,这一概念源于2020年灾难时间的经验,我们希望这一概念能够帮助我们在灾难中对时间作为行使权力的场所进行持续的讯问。首先,在介绍Coronalag时,我们注意到跨空间和社区的不同大流行经验,这些经验通常通过社交和其他虚拟媒体在这些环境中实时分享。接下来,我们将探讨灾害管理官员在管理疫情爆发、国家行动和可行的流行病控制之间的时间滞后方面所做的努力。面对冠状病毒疫情,政府的灾害管理通常是通过卫生仪式、大量数据和每日新闻发布会来戏剧性地进行的,所有这些都是为了“使曲线变平”。最后,我们扩展了Coronalag的概念,将美国和世界各地的人们的许多非凡努力纳入其中,他们将时间重新打包成增量,以捕捉他们对种族主义、资本主义结构和其他形式的压迫的挫折感。大流行时间改变了人们的观点,为抗议者和持不同政见者创造了创造新时区的机会,利用灾难时间的陌生性,并利用它为自己赋权。关键词:CoronalagCOVIDdisastertimehistory披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。《美国军队与1918-1919年的流感大流行》2。波特,《苍白的马,苍白的骑士》,1939年。参见:Outka,病毒式现代主义。4.《毁灭者与教师》。斯宾尼,《1918年流感大流行如何彻底改变了公共卫生》。杜济亚克《战争时代》雷姆斯和霍洛维茨编。,《关键灾难研究》。Campolo, <平坦的曲线>。参见:Ogle,时间的全球转变;还有Schivelbusch的《铁路空间和铁路时间》。Gibson,模式识别,1.10。Kantis等人,“更新:冠状病毒的时间轴。”Bollyky和Nuzzo,“特朗普的“早期”旅行“禁令”。”COVIDCalls, https://covid-calls.com/.13。2019年7月9日,《与丹尼尔·何塞·奥尔德和马尔卡·奥尔德一起创作大流行中的小说》,https://covid-calls.com/episode/covidcalls-7-9-2020-fiction-in-the-pandemic-w-daniel-jose-older-and-malka-older/14。美国联邦应急管理局,"第四单元:美国的应急管理",应急管理研究所,第15页。参见:诺尔斯,《灾难专家》。《社会时间与灾难》,第17页。韦尼蒙特,《数命记》。另见2020年9月21日的covid - 19呼吁#131;鲍威,西蒙斯,马特恩,“从台词中学习”;2020年10月21日,第153号。https://www.pscp.tv/USofDisaster/1YqKDpgrZaoKV18。https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-establishing-presidents-advisory-1776-commission/

ABSTRACT Metallurgy is the art and science of working metals, separating them from other substances and removing impurities. This paper is concerned with the Black metallurgists on whose art and science the intensive industries; military bases; and maritime networks of British enslaver colonialism in eighteenth-century Jamaica depended. To engage with these metallurgists on their own terms, the paper brings together oral histories and material culture with archives, newspapers, and published works. By focusing on the practices and priorities of Jamaica’s Black metallurgists, the significance and reach of their work begins to be uncovered. Between 1783 and 1784 financier turned ironmaster, Henry Cort, patented a process of rendering scrap metal into valuable bar iron. For this ‘discovery’, economic and industrial histories have lauded him as one of the revolutionary makers of the modern world. This paper shows how the myth of Henry Cort must be revised with the practices and purposes of Black metallurgists in Jamaica, who developed one of the most important innovations of the industrial revolution for their own reasons.
冶金学是加工金属,将其与其他物质分离并去除杂质的艺术和科学。本文介绍了黑人冶金学家,他们的艺术和科学是集约化产业;军事基地;以及十八世纪牙买加的英国奴隶殖民主义的海上网络。为了与这些冶金学家接触,论文将口述历史和物质文化与档案、报纸和出版的作品结合在一起。通过关注牙买加黑人冶金学家的实践和优先事项,他们的工作的意义和范围开始被发现。1783年至1784年间,金融家出身的铁匠亨利·科特(Henry Cort)为一种将废金属转化为有价值的棒铁的工艺申请了专利。由于这一“发现”,经济史和工业史都称赞他是现代世界的革命性创造者之一。本文展示了如何根据牙买加黑人冶金学家的实践和目的来修改亨利·科特的神话,牙买加黑人冶金学家出于自己的原因开发了工业革命中最重要的创新之一。

ABSTRACT This article examines the multifaceted political and cultural meanings of electrical supply and technologies in a context of recent loss of an empire and a contested nation-building process. It explores how some Spanish engineers employed electricity to articulate a nationalist modernism that saw electricity as a secure path to development and industrialization, particularly following the final collapse of the overseas empire in 1898. At a time in which several groups confronted the challenges of Spanish modernization and the reconfiguration of post-imperial national identity, electricity became involved in several socio-technical (and energy) imaginaries as well as in techno-political strategies. However, conceptions of how the new ‘electrified’ future should look like varied greatly, especially when dealing with the specifics of designing large-scale electrical infrastructures. Given the diverse professional, social, and political outlooks of the different Spanish engineering communities, mobilisations of electricity were inscribed within complex and evolving social and political agendas. This article highlights the need to understand electrification – and by extension, energy transitions – as a contingent process that must be adapted to pre-existing political and socio-cultural forms to ensure the most socially inclusive and culturally nuanced account of its heterogeneity.
本文考察了在最近失去帝国和有争议的国家建设过程的背景下,电力供应和技术的多方面的政治和文化意义。它探讨了一些西班牙工程师如何利用电力来表达民族主义的现代主义,这种现代主义将电力视为发展和工业化的安全途径,特别是在1898年海外帝国最终崩溃之后。在几个群体面临西班牙现代化和后帝国国家身份重新配置的挑战的时候,电力成为几个社会技术(和能源)想象以及技术政治战略的一部分。然而,新的“电气化”未来应该是什么样子的概念差异很大,特别是在处理设计大型电力基础设施的细节时。考虑到西班牙不同工程社区的不同专业、社会和政治前景,电力动员被列入复杂和不断发展的社会和政治议程。本文强调需要理解电气化——以及能源转型——作为一个偶然的过程,必须适应现有的政治和社会文化形式,以确保对其异质性的最具社会包容性和文化细微差别的解释。

ABSTRACT This article examines the history of precolonial energy use in the Senegal Valley from 1450–1760, showing how the Wolof kingdoms developed technologically sophisticated systems of energy use to construct an infrastructure of what I call ‘organic refineries’. As co-constructed sites of energy use, technological innovation, and material production, the organic refineries of the Senegal Valley relied on the expertise of peasant farmers, the labor of enslaved workers, and the fertility of arable land to endure long periods of drought and political instability during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. In centering the history of premodern energy use within an African context, this study demonstrates how energy use was not solely confined to the factories, blast furnaces, and coal refineries associated with the proto-industrial economies of the West. The precolonial populations of the Senegal Valley, I argue, developed and deployed a wide range of technical skills, expertise, and systems of labor that coalesced into a resilient infrastructure of agrarian energy systems. These energy regimes enabled them to withstand ecological instability – droughts, locust plagues, and food scarcity – and to compete for control over networks of commercial exchange.
本文考察了1450-1760年间塞内加尔河谷前殖民时期的能源使用历史,展示了沃洛夫王国是如何开发出技术先进的能源使用系统来构建我称之为“有机炼油厂”的基础设施的。作为能源使用、技术创新和物质生产的共同建设场所,塞内加尔河谷的有机精炼油厂依靠农民的专业知识、奴隶工人的劳动和肥沃的可耕地来忍受跨大西洋奴隶贸易时代的长期干旱和政治不稳定。本研究以非洲背景下的前现代能源使用历史为中心,展示了能源使用如何不仅仅局限于与西方原始工业经济相关的工厂、高炉和煤炭精炼厂。我认为,塞内加尔谷地的前殖民地居民开发并部署了广泛的技术技能、专业知识和劳动力系统,这些技能、专业知识和劳动力系统结合在一起,形成了一个有弹性的农业能源系统基础设施。这些能源制度使他们能够抵御生态不稳定——干旱、蝗灾和粮食短缺——并争夺对商业交换网络的控制权。

ABSTRACT The period 1873–1947 was productive in fostering ideas about observing, measuring, and quantifying repetitive human movements, prior to the rise of occupational health and ergonomics within industrial psychology. Starting with physiological experimentation in the lab, instruments of graphic inscription were then applied in the industrial workplace, initially as a benevolent measurement for monitoring worker health, but elsewhere as a more invasive measurement for the surveillance of worker efficiency. Herman Helmholtz’s invention of the myograph, and an adaptation called the ergograph, would help form what Kronecker (1873) and later Mosso (1891) termed the ‘curve of fatigue’, and were used in extensive research on factory workers for Jules Amar’s Le Moteur humain in 1914. Meanwhile, in Britain in 1915 the physiologist Sherrington was observing workers in munitions factories, feeding into the formation of the Industrial Fatigue Research Board in 1919, which produced official reports. In the United States, similar but more high-profile research was conducted by Frederick Winslow Taylor and Lillian and Frank Gilbreth, who studied movement efficiency to maximize industrial productivity by innovating upon photographic and chronophotographic techniques. Further physiological research was taken up in Lawrence J. Henderson’s Harvard Fatigue Laboratory between 1927 and 1947 on subjects situated in environmental extremes.
在工业心理学中职业健康和人体工程学兴起之前,1873-1947年这一时期在培养观察、测量和量化重复性人体运动的思想方面是富有成效的。从实验室的生理实验开始,图形铭文仪器随后被应用于工业工作场所,最初是作为一种善意的测量方法来监测工人的健康,但在其他地方作为一种更具侵入性的测量方法来监测工人的效率。赫曼·亥姆霍兹发明的肌量描记仪,以及一种被称为肌量描记仪的改进,将有助于形成克罗内克(1873)和后来的莫索(1891)所称的“疲劳曲线”,并被用于1914年朱尔斯·阿马尔的《人类规律》一书中对工厂工人的广泛研究。与此同时,1915年在英国,生理学家谢林顿正在观察军火工厂的工人,1919年成立了工业疲劳研究委员会,该委员会发表了官方报告。在美国,Frederick Winslow Taylor和Lillian and Frank Gilbreth进行了类似但更引人注目的研究,他们通过创新摄影和计时摄影技术来研究运动效率,以最大限度地提高工业生产率。1927年至1947年间,劳伦斯·j·亨德森(Lawrence J. Henderson)的哈佛疲劳实验室(Harvard Fatigue Laboratory)对处于极端环境中的受试者进行了进一步的生理研究。
