煉金術:論象徵概念與創作意識之源 Alchemy: a Study of the Symbols’ Conceptions and Creative Consciousness
國立臺灣師範大學美術研究所繪畫創作理論組 博士論文 指導教授:陳淑華 博士 論文題目: 煉金術:論象徵概念與創作意識之源 Alchemy: A Study of the Symbols’ Conceptions and Creative Consciousness 研究生:張欽賢 撰 2013/03/20 1 煉金術:論象徵概念與創作意識之源 中文摘要 煉金術是註記人類探索自我意識與物質世界的廣袤史觀。它是宗教神 話思想,以及個人洞察自身認知根源的集合體。煉金術統合物質形式的象 徵意識以及精神心靈的昇華幻化,並將之轉變成思想與技藝之間的關鍵聯 繫。藝術家藉此以助於學習外在與內在、題材與創作活性的整合,使繪畫 與其它視覺藝術如同煉金術一般,成為聯接物質與心理世界的範例。回顧 典籍所載,古人所言之藝術與藝術家,亦與煉金術士一般,充滿了神秘難 解之奇幻異數,而非今日所使用詞彙之實質意含。 本篇研究要旨在於探索煉金術思想脈絡以及其象徵系統,各篇皆以傳 統象徵系統引導創作之源,論述象徵體系之中,煉金術為之詮釋作為創造 者的終極創生,指引創作者所需之超越智慧的自然共感,與追尋超越物質 與精神世界的開放思想,以及深刻的創作情緒。本篇論文亦以此尋思古代 習藝者以及現代心理與美學理論,研究存於內心的信仰與創作程序以何種 圖面形式再現虛無的想像。以象徵系統,作為探究抽象概念轉化為繪畫創 作因素之工具與潛意識攫取想像的能力。 關鍵詞:煉金術,四元素,哲人石,曼陀羅,象徵心理,異教藝術。 i Alchemy: A Study of the Symbols’ Conceptions and Origin Consciousness of Creation Abstract Alchemy is the history of humanity’s self-awareness and marvel with the physical world. It is collective and individual research for perspicacity and the origins of religion, mythology, and personal self-identity. Alchemy is at once a symbolic consciousness of substantial forms and a symbolic utterance of the spiritual and psychological transformations of the spirit, became a connection between wisdom and art. The artist has been given the possibility of integrating his outward and inward creation, his subject matter and his creative activity. Painting and other visual arts are one intent example of communication between physical and psychological world, and other is alchemy. If we look back at the whole art history existence, the appearance of art and artist, just like alchemist, seems a curious phenomenon indeed, an ethereal secret that cannot easily be explained in terms of contemporary lexicon that we may real understand. While the thrust of this study is directed at elucidating the history of alchemy and system of symbols, every chapter includes explicable the form of symbols from the origin of traditions. -

The theme was given new life in the mid-sixteenth century through the works of the Flemish painters Pieter Aertsen (1508–75) and Joachim Beuckelaer (ca. 1533–ca. 1574), who incorporated slaughtered and disemboweled animals in their vivid renderings of abundantly supplied market stalls, and also explored the theme as an independent motif.[1] The earliest instances of the motif in the Northern Netherlands come only in the seventeenth century, possibly introduced by immigrants from the south. During the early 1640s, the theme of the slaughtered animal—split, splayed, and Fig 1. Barent Fabritius, suspended from the rungs of a wooden ladder—was taken up by (among Slaughtered Pig, 1665, oil on others) Adriaen (1610–85) and Isack (1621–49) van Ostade, who typically canvas, 101 x 79.5 cm, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, situated the event in the dark and cavernous interior of a barn, stable, or Rotterdam, inv. -

Horowitz Ken Ruoff Friedrich Schuler Michael Weingrad Portland State University 2010 ABSTRACT Rabbi Stephen S. Wise presents an excellent subject for the study of Jewish social progressivism in Portland in the early years of the twentieth-century. While Wise demonstrated a commitment to social justice before, during, and after his Portland years, it is during his ministry at congregation Beth Israel that he developed a full-fledged social program that was unique and remarkable by reaching out not only within his congregation but more importantly, by engaging the Christian community of Portland in interfaith activities. -

DESCRIPTORS Annotated Bibliographies; Anti Semitism; Biblical Literature; Biographies; *Christianity; *Cultural Exchange; *Cultural Interrelationships; Educational Resources; Higher Education; *Judaism IDENTIFIERS Israel; Jewish Culture; *Jewish Studies; WiesP1 (Eli) ABSTRACT This special issue on "Teaching Jewish-Christian Relations in the University Classroom" is meaAt to be a resource for those involved in Jewish studies and who teach about Jewish-Christian relations. It offers an introduction to the topics of the Jewish-Christian encounter, Israel, anti-Semitism, Christian Scriptures, the works of Elie Wiesel, and available educational resources, all in light of the Jewish-Christian dialogue in institutions of higher learning. Carl Evans presents a syllabus for a course in which students are required to converse with local clergy in order to explain the Jewish-Christian dialogue at the grass-roots level. This technique helps students develop mature ways of thinking on a personal, social, and religious level. Robert Everett and Bruce Bramlett discuss Israel's problematic existence, raising numerous points that can lead to effective classroom discussions. Alan Davies describes his, course on anti-Semitism and presents several practical suggestions and instrumental techniques. John Roth offers a short biography of Elie Wiesel's J.ife, his writings, and his paradoxes. Norman Beck provides a model of how a Christian teaches the Christian Scriptures, offering guidelines that are highly supportive of and sympathetic to the Jewish-Christian dialogue. -

The Complex Relationship between Jews and African Americans in the Context of the Civil Rights Movement Abstract The Civil Rights Movement occurred throughout a substantial portion of the twentieth century, dedicated to fighting for equal rights for African Americans through various forms of activism. The movement had a profound impact on a number of different communities in the United States and around the world as demonstrated by the continued international attention marked by recent iterations of the Black Lives Matter and ‘Never Again’ movements. One community that had a complex reaction to the movement, played a major role within it, and was impacted by it was the American Jewish community. The African American community and the Jewish community were bonded by a similar exclusion from mainstream American society and a historic empathetic connection that would carry on into the mid-20th century; however, beginning in the late 1960s, the partnership between the groups eventually faced challenges and began to dissolve, only to resurface again in the twenty-first century. -

United States: National Affairs, Anti-Semitism
United States National Affairs TheBush administration began the year buoyed by the results of the November 2004 elections: the president's decisive reelection and a strong Republican showing in the congressional races in which the party, already in control of both houses, gained four seats in the Senate and three in the House. The president promised to spend the "political capi- tal" he had earned on an agenda that included Social Security reform, tax cuts, and the continuation of an aggressive global war on terror. The organized Jewish community, meanwhile, geared up for another four years of an administration strongly allied with most Jews on Israel's defense needs, defiantly committed to an increasingly complicated and controversial war in Iraq, and diverging sharply from the majority of American Jews on many domestic issues. THE POLITICAL ARENA olected President Ldent Bush won immediate praise from Jewish leaders for his intment of Judge Michael Chertoff, the son of a rabbi, as secretary meland security. Chertoff had been a widely respected prosecutor hen chief of the Justice Department's criminal division before be- a judge on the Third Circuit of the U.S. Court ofAppeals. He jominated for his new post on January 11 and confirmed by the e on February 15. Another appointment of a prominent Jew was )f Elliott Abrams, who had held a variety of government positions, deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security )ther presidential appointments were generally applauded by the ommunity. Condoleezza Rice, seen as a friend of Israel, moved ional security advisor to secretary of state.
