摘要

人体的其他器官都没有皮肤的功能多,包括生物、文化、社会和心理功能。皮肤是我们最先注意到的特征,也是我们第一印象的基础。它提供了关于我们的健康状况、情绪、年龄,有时还有文化背景的信息。最重要的是,皮肤就像心脏或肺一样是一个器官。这项探索性人类学研究的目的是揭示人们对皮肤的总体看法。更确切地说,我们想探索人们是如何看待自己的皮肤的,以及他们是否从皮肤作为人体最大器官的生物作用和重要性的角度来看待皮肤。我们想知道他们对皮肤的解剖、功能以及他们最关心的病症有多了解。人们认为自己的皮肤仅仅是美丽的外壳,还是更重要的东西?为了弄清这个问题,我们对法国巴黎及其周边地区的多元文化人士进行了一项前瞻性人类学研究。我们向参与者发放了一份调查问卷,其中包括六个半结构式问题和一个开放式问题,内容涉及他们对自己皮肤的看法和态度。我们根据现有的法文和英文皮肤文献中的六大类考虑因素进行了词组分析。研究结果表明,人们对自己皮肤的看法是可变的。他们对自己皮肤的看法不是固定不变的,而是随着年龄、生活经历和生活方式的变化而变化,与更广泛的社会和环境现实相一致。此外,他们的观点往往超越文化群体,在不同的人口类别中显示出某种同质性。因此,我们得出的结论是,皮肤是一种虚拟现实的形式,随着人在社会中的生活而被构建和重构。

The Skin is a Virtual Reality: A Multicultural, -Exploratory, and Anthropologic Study.

No other organ in the human body has as many functions as the skin-biologic, cultural, social, and psychologic. The skin is the first attribute we notice, and it is the basis of our first impressions. It provides information about our state of health, our moods, our age, and sometimes our cultural background. Above all, the skin is an organ like the heart or the lungs. The objective of this exploratory anthropologic study was to shed light on the people's global perception of the skin. More precisely, we wanted to explore how people think about their skin and whether they think of it in terms of its biologic role and importance as their body's largest organ. We wanted to know how aware they are about the skin's anatomy, functionality, and the pathologies that most concern them. Do people consider their skin merely as an envelope of beauty or as something more? To find out, we conducted a prospective anthropologic study of a random sampling of multicultural individuals in and around Paris, France. Participants were given a questionnaire with six semi-structured questions and one open-ended question about their per-ceptions and attitudes of their skin. Responses were analyzed on the basis of word groupings within the six major categories of considerations represented by the available literature on the skin in both French and English. The results of this study demonstrated the mutable nature of people's perception of their skin. Rather than remaining with one fixed vision, their thoughts about their skin changed in conjunction with their age, life experiences, and lifestyle in accordance with wider societal and environmental realities. In addition, their perspectives tended to go beyond cultural groupings, displaying a certain homogeneity of vision across demographic categories. As such, we concluded that the skin is a form of virtual reality that is constructed and reconstructed as one moves through life in the society.
