Abstract

Throughout the history of international Expos, first held in Great Britain in 1851, governments made constant effort to reproduce a realm of design aligned with their policies. For instance, the republican French government decided to run a series of dynamic Expos in Paris in 1878, 1889 and 1900. Having just survived the 1870s crisis, the nation used them as respond to a fresh political situation at both national and international levels. Accordingly, this study attempts to provide a reading of the three Expos through a descriptive-explanatory approach, so as to find how design in the realm of Expos held by the French government was reproduced to fulfill political goals. The results suggest that the French government adopted various strategies to institutionalize innovative designs, somehow regarded as political reproductions of art, including: promoting tourist consumerism, building revolutionary monuments, and inventing primitive traditions. As for the first strategy, a new visual representation of information and knowledge about products was exhibited to create a kind of enjoyable entertainment. This provided the government with an opportunity to fulfill its developmental needs as consumer goods or industrial structure through interaction with public opinion and viewpoint. On the other hand, growth of economic capital was supposed to be aligned with its function and value of innovative progress. As for the second strategy, a kind of visual infatuation was created to portray the revolution eternally ideal. Finally, the third strategy kept its human utilization through a comprehensive monitoring over ethnic designs.
法国世博会设计的政治再生产解读
自1851年首届世博会在英国举行以来,在历届世博会的历史上,各国政府一直在努力打造一个符合其政策的设计王国。例如,法国共和政府决定于1878年、1889年和1900年在巴黎举办一系列充满活力的世博会。在经历了19世纪70年代的经济危机后,这个国家利用它们来应对国内和国际上新的政治形势。因此,本研究试图通过描述-解释的方法来解读三届世博会,从而发现法国政府举办的世博会领域的设计是如何被复制以实现政治目标的。结果表明,法国政府采取了各种策略将创新设计制度化,这些设计在某种程度上被视为艺术的政治复制品,包括:促进旅游消费主义,建造革命纪念碑,以及发明原始传统。对于第一个策略,展示了一种新的关于产品信息和知识的视觉表示,以创造一种愉快的娱乐。这为政府提供了一个机会,通过与公众舆论和观点的互动来满足其消费品或产业结构的发展需求。另一方面,经济资本的增长应该与其创新进步的功能和价值相一致。第二种策略是创造一种视觉上的迷恋,以描绘永恒的革命理想。最后,第三个战略通过对民族设计的全面监测,保持了其人性化的利用。
