日治時期美術設計中之「臺灣女性圖像」研究

The Research of 'Taiwanese Female Icons' in the Graphic Design during Japanese Colonial Period in Taiwan

本文主要以質性研究方法，針對日治時期美術設計中之「台灣女性圖像」進行分析、探討；並以「藝術社會學」（Sociology of Art）角度，從設計作品形成之背景資料中，進行有關「台灣女性圖像」表現之分析、描述與詮釋。也就是運用質性研究中的「紮根理論」（Grounded theory）歸納方式，對田野調查所得之各項資料進行分析、歸類與描述，並進而詮釋各種「台灣女性圖像」在當時美術設計所顯現出來之現象與意義。經由本研究的進行發現，在殖民社會環境下，當時美術設計作品中的台灣女性圖像，可大致整理歸類為：儒教道德制約下的台灣傳統女性圖像、殖民同化政策下的典型日本女性圖像、社會變遷下的新時代女性圖像、戰時體制下的殖民女性圖像等各種不同類型。此外，透過這種對於美術設計中「台灣女性圖像」的範疇歸類與分析，則能更清楚地詮釋在殖民環境變遷下台灣女性形貌之變化與發展歷程，以及這些圖像符號在設計作品中所傳達之社會訊息與意含。

Through qualitative research approaches, this research explored and analyzed 'Taiwanese female Icon' in the graphic design during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. Meanwhile, in perspective of 'Sociology of Arts', it sought to present analyses, descriptions, and interpretations of the 'Taiwanese female icons' from the background information of the creative process. In other words, it was to examine, categorize, and define the information and sources collected in the fieldwork through the synthesizing method of the qualitative studies of ground theory, and to interpret the phenomena and meanings of graphic design of various 'Taiwanese female icons' at the time. This study has realized that the graphic design of 'Taiwanese female icons' in the colonial period could be categorized as follows: the Confucian-influenced traditional Taiwanese female icons, the Japanese-like female icons under the force of colonial assimilation policies, the modern female icons swayed by the changes of the society, and the colonial-type female icons under the social structure in the war time. Through the categorizations and analyses of the 'Taiwanese female icons' in graphic design, the transformation and development of Taiwanese female, as well as the social messages implied in the graphics, are clearly defined.
