摘要

由犹他大学和杨百翰大学共同主办的19世纪跨学科研究协会第36届年会在盐湖城举行,邀请与会者深入探讨“19世纪地层”这一主题。庆祝犹他州令人惊叹的地质地层学,从科罗拉多高原的红色岩石到瓦萨奇山脉的雪峰,以及以犹他州为家的丰富的民族和物种的多样性,会议试图展示19世纪学者可以思考的各种方式,从文字和比喻的层次。我们的会议在犹他州自然历史博物馆的欢迎招待会上开幕,这是一座铜色调的梯田建筑,美丽地坐落在周围山麓的自然轮廓中。在博物馆里面,陈列着大量来自犹他州史前历史的标本,我们的客人很喜欢在下班后的接待会上独自参观画廊。我们在犹他龙、三角龙和其他古代物种的巨大骨架中漫步,了解了附近克利夫兰莫里森地层粘糊糊的泥浆中埋藏的大量化石,并从博物馆的大阳台上观看了盐湖城的日落,在环绕其曲线的更新世岩石的沉积层中,仍然可以看到博纳维尔湖(Lake Bonneville)的深厚史前历史。最近发生的颞部脱位也没有影响到我们。我们的会议原定于2021年举行,但就像我们的许多计划一样,因新冠疫情而中断。2020年3月初在洛杉矶举行的INCS会议可能是疫情爆发前美国最后一次面对面的人文会议,而盐湖城的INCS 2022可能是第一批面对面的会议之一。我们很幸运。在3月底,病例数很低,疫苗已经广泛可用,我们的与会者在会议上对戴口罩保持警惕,春天的温度允许我们在户外探索。在过去的两年里,我们错过了彼此接触的机会,无论是在工作上还是个人生活上,都给我们带来了难以形容的鼓舞。当组委会选择“19世纪地层”这个主题时,我们希望吸引地质学和深部时间方面的论文;性别、阶级和种族的分层;城市的兴起与城市建筑;层次感贯穿于视觉艺术之中

Nineteenth-century strata
The 36th annual meeting of the Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies association – held in Salt Lake City and co-hosted by the University of Utah and Brigham Young University – invited participants to dig into the theme of “Nineteenth-Century Strata.” Celebrating the breathtaking geological stratigraphy that constitutes the state of Utah, from the red rock of the Colorado Plateau to the snowy peaks of the Wasatch Mountain Range, as well as the rich diversity of the peoples and species that have made Utah their home, the conference sought to showcase the varied ways that nineteenth-century scholarship can think about literal and figurative layerings. Our conference opened with a welcome reception at the Natural History Museum of Utah, a copper-toned and terraced building nestled beautifully into the natural contours of the surrounding foothills. Inside, the Museum houses a vast array of specimens from Utah’s prehistoric past, and our guests enjoyed having the galleries all to ourselves in the after-hours reception. We walked among the colossal skeletons of Utahraptor, Triceratops, and other ancient species, learned about the bounty of fossils trapped in the gooey mud of the nearby Cleveland Morrison Formation, and, from the museum’s grand balcony, watched the sunset over Salt Lake City, whose deep prehistory as Lake Bonneville is still visible in the sedimentary layers of the Pleistocene rock that hugs its curves. The more recent temporal dislocation was not lost on us either. Our conference was originally proposed for 2021 but, like so many of our plans, was disrupted by the COVID outbreak. The previous INCS conference in Los Angeles in early March 2020 was likely the last in-person humanities conference in the United States before the pandemic drove us online, and INCS 2022 in Salt Lake City may have been one of the first conferences to return face-to-face. We were very lucky.

期刊介绍: Nineteenth-Century Contexts is committed to interdisciplinary recuperations of “new” nineteenth centuries and their relation to contemporary geopolitical developments. The journal challenges traditional modes of categorizing the nineteenth century by forging innovative contextualizations across a wide spectrum of nineteenth century experience and the critical disciplines that examine it. Articles not only integrate theories and methods of various fields of inquiry — art, history, musicology, anthropology, literary criticism, religious studies, social history, economics, popular culture studies, and the history of science, among others.
