摘要

本文以羅蘭．巴特的符號學觀點，作為行文的主要手法與分析作品的切入觀點。就本文探討的範圍為「非常林奕華」於1989年到2005年。本文核心的議題在於「非常林奕華」或「林奕華」的「非常」究竟為何，因此本文主要從三個面向著手：一、在林氏創作量開始增多的三年（1995-1997），每年都有一作品因其不同因素而成為香港社會關注的議題，這必定形塑出他或其作品的「非常」形象；隔年（1998）便受邀來台主持工作坊，台灣的媒體延續他在香港的既定形象與邀約團體再給的評價。因此，本文從報章媒體的資料切入，見此外在「非常」形象如何被建立與所建構出的形貌為何。二、細討巴特的符號學觀點的意欲究竟為何，並接承傅科的「監獄」觀點、將之視為一種符號，作為著手處理材料的出發點。並借用此二者的說法，提出本文認定的「非常」、「有形�無形監獄」的概念。三、橫跨十六年的作品分析是本文的重點，串聯巴特的「非常」與將傅科「監獄」概念視為一種符號，見林氏作品如何從「有形監獄」邁向「無形監獄」、與林氏的導演手法如何在其作品裡展現其「非常」的同時，本文亦關注其作品這十六年來的風格走向：從舞蹈劇場、語言台詞開始出席甚至後來變成演出的主體、到近期的多媒體劇場裡讀劇表演形式的生成。最後藉由外（「非常」的品牌）內（作品）來歸納出一個整體性：從日常到非常。

Based on Roland Barthes’ semiotics point of view, this thesis is an analysis on Edward Lam Dance Theatre’s works from 1989 to 2005. There are there parts in this thesis. First, during the continuing there years when his works started to increase in quantity, from 1995 to 1997, there’s one of his causing Hong Kong mass media concerning and even becoming a social event due to different reasons in each year, which must form his ‘irregular’ externality gradually. He was invited to Taipei to hold a workshop in 1998. The reports or introducing of him and his works in Taiwan must include his externality set up by Hong Kong medium and the comments from the inviting group in Taipei. Therefore, through analyzing those mass media data such as the related reports or articles in newspapers or magazines, this thesis tries to sum up what the externality is. Second, after discussing Roland Barthes’ semiotics point of view and Michael Foucault’s ‘prison’ concept, this thesis attempts to propose the concepts of ‘irregularity’ and ‘tangible/ intangible prison’. Third, an analysis on the sixteen-year-lasting theatre works is the main part of this thesis. Based on the two concepts mentioned above, this thesis tries to find out how the characteristics of ‘irregularity’works in his works, to figure out the line of his theatre works from ‘tangible prison’ to ‘intangible prison’ and the style of his ones from dance theatre, language attending and being the main subject, to the birth of stage-reading performing style. In the end, according to combining the externality with the results of analyzing his theatre works, the conclusion ‘from the regularity in normal to irregularity’ comes.
