回敬存在，從公眾面前消隱：謝德慶的生命作品

Abstract

The value of analyzing the work of Tehching Hsieh, a figure who transcends the rapid changes in Taiwan's cultural landscape and its various historical phases, is the opportunity it presents to review the history of the past 30 years of Taiwanese art from a contemporary standpoint. Two analytical approaches are used in this study. One views Tehching Hsieh as a symbol or referent of the lack of a subjective position as it emerged in Taiwan, and uses this referent as a focal point to examine the changes that have taken place over the last 30 years. This analysis is based on the same approach used by Lacan to analyze the short story, Seminar on "The Purloined Letter" and is employed here to retell the story of "Tehching Hsieh." The second approach considers the development of modern art in Taiwan since the 1980s and the historical trauma caused by this new era of modern development. Here, the story of "Tehching Hsieh" as a body in exile is used to describe the genealogy of a lack of modern subjectivity. Through these two analytical approaches, this paper attempts to explain how the relationship between people and history can be delineated through their relationship to language.
