方塘鑑開：大學校湖水景的政治與文化

Exploring Campus Lake: The Politics and Cultures of Artificial Lakes in Institution of Higher Education Campus

本研究是以台灣大專校院的人工湖泊（校湖）為研究對象，探討其政治與文化層面。相較於一般水利設施，校湖以明顯可見、著重美學的特性脫穎而出。本文將焦點置於校湖的政治與文化意涵，運用人造物的政治和基礎設施研究的詩學之取向，分析校湖在規劃者與使用者之間「權力」和「權利」的動態關係，以及其在地方社會生產和建構中的角色。通過五座具代表性的校湖場域的實地考察，本文描繪了校湖的現象輪廓，深入探討其領域變化、邊界游移與消長的過程，同時闡述其在地方感創造中的形象與再現意涵。最終，本文強調校湖的政治與文化面不僅是觀點的一體兩面，同時也是其運行與依存之基底，具有物質性和社會性的支持功能。透過此研究框架，期望提供讀者對校湖的分析性視角，突顯研究題材的潛力與未解之謎。

This study investigates artificial lakes, referred to as ''campus lakes,'' in Taiwanese higher education institutions, exploring their political and cultural dimensions. In contrast to typical water facilities, campus lakes stand out with their conspicuous visibility and emphasis on aesthetics. The paper focuses on the political and cultural implications of campus lakes, employing the poetics of infrastructure and the politics of artifacts to analyze the dynamic relationship between planners' ''power'' and users' ''rights.'' It also examines the role of campus lakes in local social production and construction. Through field observations at five representative sites, the study delineates the phenomenon's contours, delving into processes of spatial transformations, boundary shifts, and fluctuations. It elucidates the images and symbolic meanings associated with creating a sense of place. Ultimately, the paper underscores that the political and cultural aspects of campus lakes are intertwined, serving as essential infrastructure supporting their operation with material and social functions. The research framework aims to provide readers with an analytical perspective on campus lakes, highlighting the potential and unresolved mysteries within the research topic.
