An analysis on Survial Difficulties in the Visual Culture Era

Qiong-lin MEI

Abstract


Visual culture has become a reality in current culture field and transmission field. The transmission of visual culture has become a great challenge to traditional transmission. “Visual veer”and “image veer”caused by visual culture are changing people’s living circumstances : language based rational thinking gives place to vision based perceptual thinking. Image takes place of language and becomes the thinking method. This changes people’s angel of view in observing the society, and language is banished during this change. Culture imitation and culture copy supported by media technology engenders “super-reality ”. Image and reality are seperated . The “super-reality”created by visual image re-constructs reality. It is more real than reality. Reality is banished under the “super-reality”circumstances. Human body losts its existent meaning besieged by media and visual image. Space changes its intrinsic spacial difference because of the “extension of image”, which changes the field human body has been relied on. Thus human body is banished. Visual culture transmission era creates an environment in which human beings are oppressed by vision.
Key Words: Visual culture, image, survival difficulties
Résumé La culture de la vue a déja devenu une réalité dans le domaine de culture et le domaine de communication. La diffusion de la culture visuelle lance un grand défi à la diffusion de la culture traditionnelle. Cela a provoqué un phénomène dit ‘‘tourner vers la vue’’ ou ‘‘tourner vers l’image’’qui a changé la situation de l’existence de l’homme : la féflexion rationnelle fait place à la pensée sentimentale, l’image, remplacant la langue, devient l’outil de pensée et change l’angle sous lequel on observe la société, au cours de ce changement la langue est déportée ; la simulation et la reproduction de la culture soutenues par la technique de media constituent la ‘‘surréalité’’, l’image se détache de la réalité, le signifiant se sépare du signifié, la ‘‘surréalité’’ faite de l’image visuelle reconstitue la réalité , elle est bien plus réel que la réalité, la réalité est exilée dans la ‘‘surréalité’’ ; le corps encerclé par les media et l’image visuelle pert son sens, à cause de l’extension de l’imqge, l’espace change la distance intrinsèque de l’espace et le champ de l’existence du corps , le corps est donc banni. L’époque de la diffusion de la culture visuelle produit une situation de l’existence dans laquelle l’homme est opprimé par l’image.
Mots-clés: la culture de la vue, l’image, la situation difficile de l’existence
摘 要 視覺文化已經成為當下文化領域和傳播領域的現實。視覺文化傳播對傳統的文化傳播構成了巨大挑戰。由此引發的“視覺轉向”或者“圖像轉向”改變了人的生存環境:依賴語言的理性思考讓位於視覺性的感性思維,圖像取代語言成為思維的工具,並改變了人類觀察社會的視角,語言在這種改變中被放逐;由媒介技術所支撐的文化的模擬和複製形成了“超真實”,形象與現實分離,能指與所指分離,視覺景象所製造的“超真實”重新構造了現實,他比真實還真,真是在“超現實”的語境中被放逐;身體在媒介與視覺形象的包圍中喪失了存在的意義,空間因“形象的延伸”而改變了固有的空間差異,改變了身體得以存在的範圍,身體被放逐。視覺文化傳播時代形成了視覺壓迫人的生存環境。
關鍵詞:視覺文化;形象;生存困境
