在地文化意象應用於兒童繪本之創作研究 - 以香港為例

Abstract

在地文化類繪本是將文化意象結合符號而創作之繪本，展現了人類生活的情感記憶與歷史價值，也展現了一個地方的地區獨特性與地方情懷，令人們對所屬的文化體系更有歸屬感。在地文化意象應用於兒童繪本中，可成為文化的載體，讓兒童利用繪本微觀地看一個地方，提供了自主學習與思考機會。本研究先以文獻分析法，探討在地文化繪本的趨勢，並分析符號學與文化意象的關係與應用。再以當代繪本作個案研究，分析文化意象應用於兒童繪本的方法與原則。並與新興設計師進行深度訪談，了解設計在地文化繪本或文化圖像時的設計流程與實踐原則。本研究從上述研究整合與分析得出文化意象之應用原則，再以香港為個案，創作具獨特性之在地文化繪本。本研究最後得出以下結論與總結：（1）應用符號學能夠明確建構與萃取相關文化意象因素（2）在地文化繪本之創作需具個人風格，展現創作者對地方之認識（3）本創作研究成果能強化香港之文化教育並增加討論度。最後提出對未來研究之相關建議，並供日後文化相關研究者之參考依據。

Local cultural picture books combine cultural imagery with semiotics, showing the emotional memories and historical values of human life. It reflects the unique characteristics and local sentiments of a particular region, fostering a sense of belonging to the cultural system. Cultural imagery serves as medium for culture, which allowing children to explore their native place independently.

Then, the study takes contemporary picture books as case studies, analyzing the methods and principles of applying cultural imagery to picture books. Subsequently, in-depth interviews with designers are conducted to understand the design process when the interviewers creating cultural related artworks. Thus, the study presents the results through the creation of picture books related to the culture of Hong Kong as a case study. Finally, the study concludes with the following findings: (1) The application of semiotics can clearly construct and extract cultural symbolic factors. (2) The creation of local cultural picture books requires personal style and the understanding of the place. (3) The research results of this creation can strengthen cultural education. Lastly, suggestions for future research are proposed, serving as a reference for future researchers in the field of cultural studies.
