| 摘要: | 本研究定位為針對亞洲建築以及其城市主義探查的一個歷史與理論性研究。但是，本研究試圖走出普遍歷史理論談查研究所採用之方法論。本研究企圖提供觀察亞洲建築與城市主義在理論化與歷史撰述過程中可使用的替代性觀點。這些替代性觀點所解決的是建築與城市主義在亞洲的脈絡下在傳統二元論與單向知識探求所產生的盲點。本研究的方法論強調的是找出一個亞洲脈絡下可以使用的「公約數」，這個公約數所建立的平台是基於近年來亞洲崛起現象所引發的主體性建構。本研究的基本主張認為現代亞洲所蘊含的特殊重層殖民經驗與相對應的後殖民情狀對亞洲認識論的建立有一個關鍵性的制約性。作為本研究的理論化概念，展示性為凸顯此公約數在建築與城市主義再現上的策略性檢視觀點。這個觀點所放大檢視的是本研究在意識型態論述、理論化過程以及經驗性案例分析上的整合。本研究運用展示性的概念作為跨足建築學、博物館學、建築文化資產保存理論、城市理論以及批判性理論研究的平台。本研究在經驗性案例研究的層面上也企圖創立足以代表亞太地區的樣本，本研究的比較性案例分析將跨足台灣、日本、中國、馬來西亞、新加坡與澳洲。總的來說，本研究是一個針對亞洲建築與城市現象的理論化過程的一個探求，這個理論化的過程所牽涉到的不單是實務層面的理性主義，還包含了哲學、歷史與美學方面的觀點。本研究將對亞洲的時間與空間情狀在亞洲如何被定位以及亞洲如何參與認同定位的議題下做出雙向的探查。
This research is positioned as a history and theory investigation about Asian architecture and urbanism. It is, however, not a study that resembles pervasive history and theory studies on the subject of architecture. This research shows an attempt to develop alternative perspectives of highlighting the historiography and theorisations of Asian architecture and urbanism which are not usually conspicuous and straightforward from a binary or one-way statement in terms of knowledge understanding. The methodology of reading the Asian imagery in this research is to find a 'divisor'; such a divisor is built along with Asia’s phenomenal subjectification – this research contends that modern Asia's unique colonisation experience and the related postcoloniality suggest one potential and critical bridge to its understanding. As a theoretical notion, displayness is a strategic and allegoric carrier that architecturally contains this intention. Asia's architectural and urban spectacle, as a form that intersubjectively contains a variety of issues and phenomena, hence is magnified to base the abstractness of integrating ideological discourse making, theorisations and empirical examination in this research. Notionally, this research sees displayness transdisciplinarily across architecture, museology, built heritage conservation, urban theory and critical theory. Empirically, a good selection of case studies within the Asia Pacific region, i.e. from Taiwan, Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, are comparatively analysed. As a combination, this research theorises the Asian phenomenal built pragmaticism from rather philosophical, historical and aesthetic standpoints; the unfolding of the discussion hence shows a bidirectional investigation of Asia's spatiotemporality asking how Asia is located and how localities are Asianised. |
