Chapter 1 considers the mechanisms of breaks and continuities in the history of photocollage with regard to gender, genre and locations of display. Collage is commonly celebrated as a twentieth-century art form invented by Dada artists in the 1910s. Yet there was already a vibrant culture of making photocollages in Victorian Britain. From an art historical perspective this can be interpreted as an expression of typical modernist amnesia. The default stance of the early twentieth century’s avant-garde was to be radically, ground-breakingly new and different from any historical precursors. However, there is, when turning to the illustrated press, also a trajectory of continuity and withholding of traditions in the history of photocollage. This chapter has two parts. The first includes a critical investigation of the writings on the history of photocollage between the 1970s and 2010s, focusing on the arguments and rationales of forgetting and retrieving those nineteenth-century forerunners. It includes examples of amnesia and recognition and revaluation. The second is a close study of a number of images that appear in Victorian albums produced between 1870 and 1900 and their contemporary counterparts in the visual culture of illustrated journals and books.

Chapter 1 situates the contemporary focus of this book in historical perspective by summarizing the main findings from studies of previous eras that had a massive surge in the amount of information available. Moreover, it critically examines the key contributions from social and behavioral science scholarship on information overload. In addition, it further articulates the conceptual framework that is initially introduced in the preface and that constitutes the analytical apparatus of the book. It also describes the research design adopted to gather the data necessary to answer the questions posed in the preface. Finally, it provides an outline of the book.

The Subject

Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the subject of polymorphism in molecular crystals, including definitions, terminology, nomenclature, and historical development of the subject since the first recognition of the phenomenon in 1823. Topics covered include the difficulty in establishing a database for statistical study of polymorphism, the frequency of occurrence of polymorphism, the literature sources of polymorphic compounds, and literature sources of examples of polymorphism, that is, Cambridge Structural Database, Powder Diffraction File, the patent literature, and the scientific literature. Statistics on crystal polymorphism among the elements in inorganic compounds and macromolecular (i.e., biological) molecules precede the historical perspective. The chapter closes with a brief survey of the commercial importance of polymorphism.

The Relationship

Chapter 1 explores how deeply connected, and in many ways similar, China and Japan are. Part of this involves their shared cultural roots, but a world historical perspective on Northeast Asia also shows how Japan and China have often followed similar trajectories, albeit sometimes at different times, in their attempts to come to terms with their regions, modernity, and the Western-dominated global power structure. Their similarity makes their mutual alienation something of a puzzle, not least because there are other, potentially more constructive ways of seeing the relationship between the two than that embodied in the history problem perspective. There are opportunities as well as problems in the shared histories of China and Japan. If the relationship between China and Japan is in some important ways defined by the narcissism of small differences, then the key to changing it is to change the historical perspectives that support such a view.

The Subject

This chapter reviews the growing body of literature that has emerged on the subject of digital campaigns since they first emerged as a web- and email-based activity in the mid-1990s. It does so chronologically and shows how, when viewed in the aggregate and from a historical perspective, these studies form a narrative that maps onto the four distinct phases of development outlined in Chapter 1. Thus, early studies largely describe a period of experimentation in most countries, while subsequent work in the late 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s reveals a shift toward standardization in practice across parties and countries. Analyses from the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century focus largely on online political community-building efforts by web campaigns, while the most recent work examines how digital tools are increasingly being used to intensify micro-targeting of voters
