• 演講摘要：
  如何在繪畫中表現愉悅？在九至十四世紀的中國，「愉悅」或「樂」已經藉著經典話語成為系統化的情感之一。本演講將探討被經典化的「愉悅感」在中古中國如何對藝術家造成啟發或挑戰。演講集中在一系列描繪遊魚的畫作，探討在創作和觀賞這些作品的過程中，「認識」和 「感受」愉悅二者間的張力，如何呈顯出與世界間特有的交互模式，層次包括人與非人之間，水與空氣之間，古代與當代之間，以及社會中的正式與非正式場域之間。通過深入探討這些認識論與情感上的交互模式，本研究闡述了這些視覺再現中魚的身體維度——包括它們與周遭環境的實質關係以及它們本不可能具備的人臉特徵——如何揭示當時人對以一種不可言傳的方式「感受」本體論上相異領域的興趣。講者認為，這些畫作不僅反映了一個針對現象世界中的自我不斷變化的認識論範式，還展現了繪畫這種媒介的新潛力，它試圖超越經典化情感的表面模仿。
  
  How does one paint joy? Joy, or le, in literary and visual representations had become one of the codified feelings through classical discourses by the middle period in China (9th-14th centuries). This talk asks how the canonized feeling of joy inspired and challenged artists in the middle period. Focusing on a series of paintings depicting swimming fish, the talk explores how the tension between “knowing” and “feeling” of joy—in the process of both creating and viewing of the paintings—registered distinctive modes of engagement between worlds at multiple levels: between the non-human and the human, between water and air, between ancient and contemporary, and between official and unofficial realms in society. By delving into these modes of epistemic and emotional engagement, the inquiry articulates how the somatic dimension of the fish in the visual representations—including their quintessential relationship to surrounding environs and their unlikely human faciality—reveals contemporary interest in “feeling” the ontologically distinct worlds in a way that was otherwise indefinable in words. I suggest that these works not only inscribe traces of a changing epistemological paradigm of the self in the phenomenal world, but also demonstrate the new potential of painting as a medium aspiring to transcend patly mimetic stagings of sanctioned emotions.
