風景構成法における内界イメージの変容について－言語とイメージのポリフォニックな対話とイメージのゲシュタルト性から－

Abstract

Although psychologists sometimes use drawing activities for testing purposes, the tester doesn't intend the testee to change as a result of drawing. Nevertheless, the act of drawing itself works some change in those who draw. The drawer's remarks about his/her work (made during and/or after the act) sometimes affect subsequent drawings. It is suggested that talking about it unconsciously influences imagery. Jung thinks that unconsciousness is constantly organizing and reorganizing itself. How does it do this? With regard to this question, this paper refers to Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of polyphony to discuss the interaction between language and image. In the drawer's inner world, polyphonic dialogues involving two distinct protagonists arise. The protagonists are, of course, language and image, each of which is an autonomous, ambiguous, multilayered, diverse, and creative entity unto itself. Each protagonist's individual characteristics, combined with the gestalt characteristics of image, have a transformative influence on drawing. Also examined from the viewpoint of polyphonic dialogues is how images within the drawer's inner world change while creating LMT.
