“天人合一”思想在《论语》漫画中的再现——基于新视觉语法

Representation of “Unity of Man and Nature” in the Comic Versions of the Analects of Confucius: Based on the New Visual Grammar

本研究通过对比分析两个海外《论语》漫画版本在交叠、重合和分离这三种人与自然关系里的人际意义构建,探讨儒学的"天人合一"思想的再现问题。研究发现,蔡志忠版本的再现程度更高,但两版本都需采用更多视角与读者互动,在氛围系统上都存在不足。本研究提出了改进建议,以期推动海外《论语》漫画更好地再现和传播"天人合一"思想,为典籍漫画的研究探索出有别于传统视觉语法的新理论应用道路。

This study makes a comparative analysis of the construction of interpersonal meanings in the relations between man and nature represented in the oversea comic versions of the Analects of Confucius.It explores whether and to what extent Confucius’thought of"unity of man and nature"is represented.The result shows that this thought in Tsai Chih Chung’s version is better represented.However,it is suggested both of the versions interact with readers in more visual angles and use colorful pictures in order to activate the ambience system.Finally,this study offers recommendations for improvements in the representation and spread of this thought,making a modest contribution to Chinese and Western cooperation in the endeavor for harmony between man and nature.It explores the new theoretical framework which is different from the traditional visual grammar.
