身体:作为陶瓷的文化隐喻

The Body: A Cultural Metaphor of Ceramics

陶瓷是人类通过身体与泥土的亲昵互动而生成的,事关人类如何存在的物质与精神交融并存的文化形式。陶瓷的核心价值由人的身体,以及由此所获经验所构建。但在陶瓷文化的历史叙述中,身体与身体经验逐渐溢出,与之呼应,陶瓷的意涵也在陶瓷的消费空间被重新定义。因此,当下陶瓷文化的研究能否将陶瓷放回其生成场所中去解析,并在陶瓷本然且狡有的发展脉络中,以批判性的眼光发现其身体的文化隐喻,才是能否深度理解陶梵文化的关键所在。

Ceramic is the product of intimate interaction between the human body and clay, and a cultural form concerning the integration of material and spirit. The core value of ceramics consists in the human body and the body experience. However, in the historical narration of ceramic culture, the body and body experience are gradually excluded. Accordingly, the implication of ceramics is redefined in the consumption space of ceramics. Therefore, the key to the deep understanding of ceramic culture when conducting the study of ceramic culture lies in whether ceramics can be interpreted in its birthplace, and whether the cultural metaphor of the body can be discovered from a critical perspective in the unique development process of ceramics.
