酷我-北美枫

Imaging the Past


The further the past recedes,the closer it becomes. Images fixed on the screen, stored in archives, and reproduced on the pages, render the past ever-present. Gradually, but relentlessly these images have begun to supersede memory and experience.



Note:

Imaging the Past is not my original work, and it's a "rewrite," or sort of a one-paragraph summary, of an article about the impact of images on shaping and re-shaping the understanding of History in our technology-advanced society.

This prose poem is so dense and idea-laden, and its conclusion sends a shiver down my spine -- this is a, maybe I should say "the," way of understanding History.

Thanks for the read and sharing your thoughts.

In my view, the contemporary understanding of History is highly mediated by images, especially films and TV programs, and now video clips posted on the Internet.
