Abstract
Emoticons are usually associated with the digital age, but they have numerous precursors in both manuscript and print. This article examines the circulation of emotional icons in nineteenth-century typographical journals as a springboard to understanding the relationship between emotion, materiality, and anthropomorphism as well the pre-digital networks of the “typographical press system.” It draws on literature from textual and typographical analysis, including the history of punctuation. It also demonstrates the ubiquity of emoticons in contemporary society and culture outside the world of computers, text messaging, and chat rooms.
Résumé
On pourrait croire que les binettes ou frimousses (en anglais, emoticons) n’appartiennent qu’à l’ère du numérique. Or on en trouve dans des manuscrits et dans des imprimés bien antérieurs à cette dernière. L’article retrace la présence des frimousses dans les revues de typographie du dix-neuvième siècle afin de comprendre le lien entre émotion, matérialité et anthropomorphisme à l’époque de la presse typographique. Pour ce faire, il recourt à l’analyse textuelle et typographique et évoque l’histoire de la ponctuation. Il montre en outre l’omniprésence des frimousses dans la société et la culture contemporaines par-delà le monde de l’informatique, de la messagerie texto et du clavardage.
