摘要

本文提出了一个以实践为主导的艺术研究项目:如何通过视觉诗歌的美学来表现中国留学生的归属感(或不归属感)?该项目将具体的诗歌作为一种视觉策略来开发设计成果,包括使用实验性排版布局的两种出版物和两张相应的海报。本研究采用自我民族志和启发式调查作为创造性过程的方法论方法,以实现高水平的独创性。本研究项目以个人经历为基础,探讨了中国学生在新西兰奥特亚罗亚初学时,在一个陌生的地方所面临的归属感的缺失。为了应对这种暂时的归属感丧失,该项目调查了个人,分析了两种特定的负面情绪:不安和孤独。此外,该研究将诗歌写作应用于自我叙述,以增强个人表达的潜力,隐喻地讲述故事,同时创造一种视觉排版人工制品,打破了传统的书面散文形式。该项目是对自我的回顾,生动地表达了影响研究人员的两个最深刻时期产生的两种难忘的情感。一方面,该项目在自我理解方面迈出了一步,帮助观众理解中国学生在国外所经历的归属感问题。另一方面,它有助于自我民族志的讨论和启发式探究,以实现平面设计的原创性。

Forgotten: an autoethnographic exploration of belonging through Graphic Design
This article presents a practice-led artistic research project that asks: How to represent an international Chinese student’s sense of belonging (or not belonging) through the aesthetics of visual poetry? The project looked into concrete poetry as a visual strategy to develop a design outcome consisting of two publications using an experimental typographic layout and two corresponding posters. This research employs autoethnography and heuristic inquiry as a methodological approach to the creative process to achieve high levels of originality. Based on personal experience, this research project explores the lack of sense of belonging faced by a Chinese student in an unfamiliar place when initially studying in Aotearoa New Zealand. In a design response to this temporary loss of belonging, the project investigated profiled individuals to analyse two specific negative emotions: restless and lonely. In addition, the study applies poetic writing to self-narrative to enhance the potential of personal expression, metaphorically telling stories while creating a visual typographic artefact that breaks with the traditional written prose form. The project is a retrospective of the self, graphically articulating two unforgettable emotions arising from two of the most profound periods affecting the researcher. On the one hand, the project takes a further step towards self-understanding and helps the viewer understand the issues of belonging experienced by Chinese students in a foreign country. On the other hand, it contributes to the discussion of autoethnography and heuristic inquiry to achieve originality in graphic design.
