療癒性繪本創作─以「斷捨離」實踐哲學為概念之創作論述
The Creation of Healing Picture Books - The Concept Based on The Practice in Less is More in Practical Philosophy
摘要
在現今壓力高漲的社會氛圍下，使得「紓壓」、「療癒」等名詞開始出現，逐漸興起一股「療癒系」文化，而繪本圖畫搭配精煉文字的特色，以「圖像」觸發對「文本意涵」的感受，正好符合現代人因行動載具等發明而逐漸形成的「圖像式」閱讀習慣，使「療癒性繪本」近年來被受歡迎。隨著物質日益繁榮，龐雜的訊息與物品無形中影響著人們的心靈，因此我們需保有真實自我，才得以在繁雜的資訊中維持自我，日本作家山下英子推行「斷捨離」實踐哲學，便是一套藉由面對物品審視真實自我的哲學理論，透過對物品的篩選，檢視物品與我們的關係，開啟思考迴路探究「真實自我」。 本創作整理相關「繪本」、「表現形式」、「繪本療癒性」以及「案例分析」等文獻作為創作參考，並以創作者自身經歷為基模，帶入「斷捨離」實踐哲學作為文本根基，創作目的為：1.透過此繪本創作，傳達「過剩」造成的自我迷失及產生情緒困擾等問題、2.讓讀者透過閱讀此繪本，認識「斷捨離」實踐哲學的意涵、3.利用較柔軟富隱喻性的表達手法，代替邏輯性的教條，表達「真實自我」的重要性，以上述為目的進行療癒性繪本創作。 本創作以斷捨離為概念發展成為《黑石子》繪本作品，文本創作以「敘事邏輯」理論設定敘事手法，並根據創作者自身經歷，融入「斷捨離」實踐哲學進行創作。故事描述一位女孩因撿起一顆黑石子，而受困在自己居住的車子中，開啟了一段掙脫受困尋找自我的過程。本創作以曾經迷失者的身分闡述故事，使觀者產生同理之情，並經由描繪「斷捨離」一步步捨棄的過程，逐漸獲得情緒上的淨化，最後領悟其中涵義，獲得療癒與釋放負面情緒。
並列摘要
As technology advances in our fast-growing economy, stress in our society is reaching boiling point. Therefore, there are a number of new terms associated with stress-relieved and inspirational methods emerging. Gradually, an inspirational culture starts forming into shape and that’s what illustrated books are featured with nowadays. An illustrated book normally contains drawings that have a story behind them and the story mostly plays an important role as an image or a concept to encourage or inspire the readers who have been through some unpleasant experiences. Moreover, the imaged-based concept happens to correspond to the popularity of mobile devices that has greatly changed our reading pattern, which is why illustrated books are getting more recognition in recent years. The reason behind its growing popularity is due to the fact that we are living in a big melting pot where an enormous amount of information that we receive has an influence on a person’s spirit. Therefore, we need to purify our soul so that we won’t lose ourselves in such a fast-paced developing world. One of the advocators is a Japanese author 山下英子 who has been promoting a type of practical philosophy called “Isolation”, in other words; it is a method that isolates our excessive demands from any material and also through examination of the relationship between items and humans, we can initiate a sort of reflection of ourselves and find out who we truly are. The creation is based on a variety of references about illustrated books, performing format, inspirational concepts and case analysis. Furthermore, personal experience is the core frame of each story and incorporates the philosophy into this book as a foundation. The intention of this book is to address the issues that people who lose themselves in finding their way through life face and people who have mental issues. Readers can also gain more knowledge about the insights of the philosophy by the method of metaphor instead of stiff doctrine to express the importance of self-recognition. Among all the ideas mentioned above, the illustration “Blackstone” finally comes into a piece. The story depicts about a girl who is stuck in a car where she is living due to a black stone she picks up. That’s also where the adventure kicks off. In the story we will see how this girl goes through frustration, struggles and dilemma before finding out where she belongs. The illustration is basically a reflection of a person who was once lost in the past. The readers who now might be going through the same experience have sympathy in the story and will emotionally feel attached. In this case, it would gradually comprehend the meaning behind each illustration; as a result, emotions will be purified and get to a stage where the traumatized soul becomes released and healed.
