The astronomer’s observing chair as both image and object, and the story it tells about a particular kind of science and a particular view of history.

The astronomer’s chair is a leitmotif in the history of astronomy, appearing in hundreds of drawings, prints, and photographs from a variety of sources. Nineteenth-century stargazers in particular seemed eager to display their observing chairs—task-specific, often mechanically adjustable observatory furniture designed for use in conjunction with telescopes. But what message did they mean to send with these images? In The Astronomer’s Chair, Omar W. Nasim considers these specialized chairs as both image and object, offering an original framework for linking visual and material cultures. Observing chairs, Nasim ingeniously argues, showcased and embodied forms of scientific labor, personae, and bodily practice that appealed to bourgeois sensibilities.

天文学家观察椅既是图像也是实物，它讲述了一种特定的科学和一种特定的历史观的故事。 在天文史中，天文学家观察椅是一个常见的主题，在数以百计的各种来源中出现过插图、印刷品和照片。尤其是十九世纪的望远镜使用者们似乎渴望展示他们的观测椅——用途明确、通常可以机械调整的天文台家具，用于与望远镜配合使用。但他们用这些图像想要传达什么信息呢？在《天文学家观察椅》一书中，奥马尔·W·纳西姆考虑了这种专门设计的椅子既是图像也是实物，提出了将视觉文化和物质文化联系起来的新框架。纳西姆巧妙地论证称，观测椅展示了并体现了科学劳动、人格特质和身体实践的形式，这些形式迎合了资产阶级的审美观。
