Social media sites have made these images more accessible than ever before, but if we take another step back in history, we'll see that it was the camera that first created a new kind of crowd a full lifetime ago on June 17, 1939, it had an immediate and unequivocal effect.
社交媒体给这些影像的传播 带来了前所未有的便利， 可是倘若我们回顾更早的历史就会发现， 在那段公开处刑被当做聚众狂欢的时期， 最先创造出一种新型“围观人群”的， 是照相机。 1939年6月17日， 相机一登上历史舞台， 就立刻产生了显著的影响。
