Unveiling Spatial Dynamics: Wu Hung's Analysis of Erlitou Bronze Jue

This article explores Wu Hung's spatial-object discourse concerning ancient bronze jue. Wu Hung's emphasis on the interaction between space and art is evident in his work, where he introduces concepts such as liminal space, feminine space, political space, and positional significance. Starting with the bronze jue from Erlitou, the paper delves into its significance in art history. Through an analysis of the jue, Wu Hung presents his unique perspective on space and applies Martin Heidegger's spatial concepts to the study of ancient Chinese artworks. Furthermore, the article discusses Wu Hung's views on the development of bronze art, ranging from the connection between culture and decorative styles to the variations in Shang dynasty bronze styles. Wu Hung extracts Heidegger's aesthetic resources and applies them to the study of spatialization in artworks, examining the functionality and symbolic significance of the jue through an analysis of its internal and external spaces. Lastly, the article explores the impact of Wu Hung's spatial approach on Chinese art history and compares it with the perspectives of other historians. Wu Hung's spatial approach opens up new avenues of research, uncovering the interactive relationship between ancient artworks and space, providing researchers with a deeper understanding of the possibilities inherent in studying ancient artworks. 本文探讨了巫鸿对古代青铜爵的空间物论的研究。巫鸿著重于空间与艺术互动的认识,在他的著作中提出了边界空间、女性空间、政治空间和位置重要性等概念。论文从二里头青铜爵出发,探讨了其在艺术史中的重要性。通过对爵的分析,巫鸿提出了他对空间的独特看法,并将马丁•海德格尔的空间观念应用到古代中国艺术品的研究中。此外,文中探讨了巫鸿对青铜艺术发展的观点,从文化与装饰风格的联系到商代青铜风格的变化。巫鸿提取了海德格尔的美学资源,并将其应用于对艺术品空间化的研究中,并通过对爵的内部和外部空间的分析,探讨了爵的功能和象征意义。最后,文章讨论了巫鸿的空间方法对中国艺术史的影响,并与其他历史学家的观点进行了比较。巫鸿的空间方法开启了新的研究途径,挖掘了古代艺术作品和空间之间的互动关系,为研究人员提供了深入理解古代艺术品的可能性。

Abstract

This article explores Wu Hung's spatial-object discourse concerning ancient bronze jue. Wu Hung's emphasis on the interaction between space and art is evident in his work, where he introduces concepts such as liminal space, feminine space, political space, and positional significance. Starting with the bronze jue from Erlitou, the paper delves into its significance in art history. Through an analysis of the jue, Wu Hung presents his unique perspective on space and applies Martin Heidegger's spatial concepts to the study of ancient Chinese artworks. Furthermore, the article discusses Wu Hung's views on the development of bronze art, ranging from the connection between culture and decorative styles to the variations in Shang dynasty bronze styles. Wu Hung extracts Heidegger's aesthetic resources and applies them to the study of spatialization in artworks, examining the functionality and symbolic significance of the jue through an analysis of its internal and external spaces. Lastly, the article explores the impact of Wu Hung's spatial approach on Chinese art history and compares it with the perspectives of other historians. Wu Hung's spatial approach opens up new avenues of research, uncovering the interactive relationship between ancient artworks and space, providing researchers with a deeper understanding of the possibilities inherent in studying ancient artworks. 本文探讨了巫鸿对古代青铜爵的空间物论的研究。巫鸿著重于空间与艺术互动的认识,在他的著作中提出了边界空间、女性空间、政治空间和位置重要性等概念。论文从二里头青铜爵出发,探讨了其在艺术史中的重要性。通过对爵的分析,巫鸿提出了他对空间的独特看法,并将马丁•海德格尔的空间观念应用到古代中国艺术品的研究中。此外,文中探讨了巫鸿对青铜艺术发展的观点,从文化与装饰风格的联系到商代青铜风格的变化。巫鸿提取了海德格尔的美学资源,并将其应用于对艺术品空间化的研究中,并通过对爵的内部和外部空间的分析,探讨了爵的功能和象征意义。最后,文章讨论了巫鸿的空间方法对中国艺术史的影响,并与其他历史学家的观点进行了比较。巫鸿的空间方法开启了新的研究途径,挖掘了古代艺术作品和空间之间的互动关系,为研究人员提供了深入理解古代艺术品的可能性。
