本文將探討改編自吳明益的同名小說，並由楊雅喆執導的台灣影集《天橋上的魔術師》中的空間意義。故事描述一位魔術師和九個孩子生活在1980年代台北中華商場。中華商場是一座已拆除的大型商場，由一連八座連動式的大樓所組成，曾是台北的重要地標。通過深入探索角色和場所之間的關係，本研究將結合該時期的歷史記錄以及法國空間哲學家加斯東·巴舍拉的理論，探討影集中的空間結構與建築現象學。 This thesis will explore the significance of spaces in the Taiwanese series The Magician on the Skywalk directed by Yang Ya-che (楊雅喆), adapted from the short story collection by Wu Ming-yi (吳明益), dealing with a magician and nine children, living in the Chunghwa shopping center (中華商場), a complex of eight buildings linked by skywalks on Chunghwa Road in 1980’s Taipei. Advancing close readings of the narrative’s relation to the spaces in which action occurs, the analysis will draw on both historical records of the period as well as the work of French philosopher, Gaston Bachelard, who developed a phenomenology of architecture to explore the relations between spatial structures and human experience, memory, and emotional life. The study will use his theory to analyze the poetics of spaces and how they condition the collective memory of a community in the Chunghwa shopping center.
