Susan Stewart was born in 1952. She received a B.A. in English and anthropology from Dickinson College, an M.A. in poetics from Johns Hopkins University, and a Ph.D. in folklore from the University of Pennsylvania.
She is the author of several collections of poetry, including Columbarium (University of Chicago Press, 2003) which received the National Book Critics Circle Award; The Forest (1995), which received the Literary Award of the Philadelphia Atheneum; The Hive (1987); and Yellow Stars and Ice (1981).
Miniature books, eighteenth-century novels, Tom Thumb weddings, tall tales, and objects of tourism and nostalgia: this diverse group of cultural forms is the subject of On Longing, a fascinating analysis of the ways in which everyday objects are narrated to animate or realize certain versions of the world. Originally published in 1984 (Johns Hopkins University Press), and now available in paperback for the first time, this highly original book draws on insights from semiotics and from psychoanalytic, feminist, and marxist criticism. Addressing the relations of language to experience, the body to scale, and narratives to objects, Susan Stewart looks at the "miniature" as a metaphor for interiority and at the "gigantic" as an exaggeration of aspects of the exterior. In the final part of her essay Stewart examines the ways in which the "souvenir" and the "collection" are objects mediating experience in time and space.

很有趣的一个观点:符号所承载的意义与其物质条件(材料,尺度)密切相关。一般来讲,人们会只关注符号的抽象层面,然而同样一个物件在尺度和材料变化的时候会产生意义上的巨大改变。Scaled models in general reflect human desire of fantasy and fictiveness as in "play". The material and abstract aspects of models are corelated in constructing meaning, which also reflects the ever-presence of body in the perception of world.
评分精辟,不过顾虑就是文学理论和艺术史研究的隔阂/衔接该如何判断与把握
