內容簡介:
人類文明的歷史有精神與物質兩大範疇;兩者相互影響,在各民族、各時代產生不同的生活樣貌。而正由於如此,人們的文化記憶乃可深烙於物質之中。
一地的物質,自有其本土生成的風物,也有源於外來異文化的傳播。這些「物」既具有其獨特的社會生命週期,也呈現出文化差異的敘事空間。物與物之間,更環環相扣成多元的「互文脈絡」,編織成一重層意義的「象徵之網」。以臺灣為例,自原住民初始,及今各個時期,或殖民,或移民,可說是經過了多元文化的墾殖洗禮,也創造了流動視域下的物質網絡。——透過物質觀照物質——由臺灣出發,我們的視域更可擴及東亞,以至於世界……。
以往的物質研究常從人類學考古的角度出發,考掘古代的器物以瞭解時代的變遷;但近年來的物質文化研究,則不僅探討生存條件,還以語言學、歷史學、文學、美學與文化研究等方法,去觀照各個時代、各種環境中與生活相關的事物,進而分析其價值觀、審美觀,以至於社會整體的脈動。
因此本會議企圖探討人文現象中「物」之諸課題,思辯物質文化的社會性、現代性和全球性等多重向度;希望涵括人文學科中歷史、哲學、文學、藝術、語言各範圍,經由物質文本,結合地緣批評與歷史記憶,重新思索臺灣、東亞與世界的互文脈絡。
會議子題涵括以下各面向:
1.風土中的形象、聲音與意義
2.日常生活的微物敘事
3.情以物遷:生命書寫與物質文化
4.言與物:語言使用的實證軌跡
5.記憶、疆界與物質文化
6.族群遷徙、物質流動與文化翻譯
7.神與物遊:東/西方「物—我」思維比較
8.其他
歡迎海內外學者踴躍賜稿。投稿者請將論文摘要(中文或英文300字以內)及簡歷,於2013年3月15日前寄至:國立中山大學人文研究中心2014年國際學術研討會籌備處 (chsc705@mail.nsysu.edu.tw)。
==============================================================
The past decade witnesses the rising interest in material culture. The study of all physical evidences and “things” comes to offer valuable empirical vision, mediating the past and present social and cultural interactions. Envisioning material objects is therefore a worthy subject of scholarship in contemporary cultural studies.
Material culture draws on theory and practice from the social sciences such as art history, archeology, anthropology, history, historic preservation, folklore, and museum studies, among others. In fact, archeologists, art historians, anthropologists and sociologists have long paid rigorous attention to various studies of “things,” and it is also common to utilize analytical methodologies to gain ethnographic insights. Interpreting materials by considering themes such as ruin, imprints, waste, images, relics, memory and so on serves as a key to knowing about cultures from the past to the present. Through those materials, we may broaden our horizon first from Taiwan, to East Asia, and finally to the world.
Material culture study is an interdisciplinary field that tells of relationships between people and things; the preservation and interpretation of objects bespeaks the making of human history. The study does not limit itself to social science, but rather opens itself up to a wide range of disciplines such as linguistics, history, literature, aesthetics, environmental science, and cultural studies, to name only the most prominent.
This conference seeks papers that address and examine how “things” are envisioned, imagined, and interpreted. We are interested in the shifting trajectories and connected histories of objects and people across time and space. By working through objectifying artifacts or fragments as “things” of the material world while attending to their spatial and temporal qualities, we may begin to discover the construction of knowledge and process of interpretation about people’s life in a variety of ways. By considering a wide spectrum of concerns in relation to sociality, modernity, globalization and so on, we hope to raise a series of questions that are central to material culture in diverse disciplines. Based on material culture, combined with geographical criticism and historical memory, we may finally rethink the Intertextual context between Taiwan, East Asia, and the world.
Sub-topics for the conference include, but not limited to:
1.Images and meanings of natural objects
2.Narrative of trivial things in everyday life
3.Emotional attachment to things: life writing and material culture
4.Things and words: Empirical tracks of the language used
5.Memory, borders, and material culture
6.Migration of ethnic groups and transference of things
7.Compare between Eastern and Western philosophy of material and mind.
