表達問題與達彌施《／雲／的理論》的概念使用方式

The issue of expression and Damisch’s use of concepts in Théorie du /Nuage/

本文旨在探討達彌施（Hubert Damisch, 1928-2017）《／雲／的理論》中的概念使用方式與表達問題的關係。此處的「表達問題」包含不同層面：一個是繪畫材質組織、形成意義的過程，另一個是理論書寫透過串接文字給出思想的過程。研究以四個議題來開展：第一個議題，考察「表達」在達彌施的思想脈絡中是如何作為討論對象？在此議題中以法蘭卡斯塔、梅洛龐蒂為例，進一步引出表達問題作為引發思想重組的關鍵。
第二至四議題分別聚焦在《／雲／的理論》中三個涉及表達問題的概念，也就是「形象」、「符號」、「透視」。本文探討的重心有二：其一是論點層面，達彌施透過這些關鍵概念，在表達問題上，引出了怎麼樣的看法？其二是手法層面，他處理這些概念的方式，是怎麼連結到他對表達的看法？
研究發現，達彌施探討畫面表達，捕捉畫面媒材組織的形成過程，啟動了一系列拆解與重組概念的工作。這主要不是定義畫面組成方式，而是呈現一種思考重組的動態，來對應媒材組織複雜的形塑過程。

This study explores the connection between Hubert Damisch’s use of concepts in Théorie du /Nuage/ and the issue of expression. In the context of this discussion,“issue of expression”refers to two registers: the creation of meaning through the arrangement of pigments and the articulation of thought through the organization of words and verbal expressions. The study consists of four sections. The first section examines how“expression”is discussed within the intellectual circle to which Damisch belongs. Drawing on Francastel’s and Merleau-Ponty’s respective accounts, expression can be understood as a critical source that leads to the reformulation of thoughts.
Sections 2-4 respectively focus on three concepts in Théorie du /Nuage/ that involve the issue of expression:“figure,”“sign,”and“perspective.”The discussion is twofold: first, to clarify the view of expression that Damisch conveys through these three concepts; and second, to examine how his use of these concepts relates to his arguments.
This study reveals that, through his quest for the configuration process of painting and its expression, Damisch establishes an ongoing process to deconstruct and reformulate concepts. The significance of such conceptual deformations lies not in providing definitions of“expression”but in demonstrating a movement that shifts in conceptual connections and reformulations of thought. Furthermore, this movement corresponds to the complex process of medium configuration.
