摘要 Abstract
從解讀馬爾侯的「阿波羅蛻變記」,本文探討這類貫越兩千年縱橫數大文明藝術形式蛻變的敘事條件,逐一解析馬爾侯所謂「超越館牆的博物館」所指涉的現代性,博物館及其相關現代學科,特別是藝術史,其符號學製作的機制,在過去兩個世紀的社會史脈絡,及其所服務的現代神話,包括國族主義、原始主義、西方挪佔重塑的古典希臘主義。本文進一步探討馬爾侯所展望的「創作神話的現代權力」申論藝術文物的主權,並不繫於國族主權對於文物形體的控製或宣稱,而是繫於神話創作的論述識框與簽署。最後,本文分別解析偶像破壞與神話創作的不同類級,特別著重於偶像破壞與神話創作之間共現辯證的現代形式,質疑聯合國「普世文化遺產」概念的矛盾,並再度申論藝術文物的主權問題。

Based on Andre Malraux' thesis of ”the metamorphoses of Apollo,” this paper examines the preconditions for such a grand narrative that traces an art form covering several civilizations during two millennia. The paper reads critically the modernity implied by Malraux' vision of the ” museum without walls” and the new disciplines which emerged concurrently with the museum, especially the art history. Futher, the paper looks at the social history in which the museum and its related disciplines evolve in the past two centuries and the mythical functions they have performed , including nationalism, primitivism, and the appropriation of the ancient Greece by the West. The paper then discusses Malraux' outlook on the modem power of mythopoesis, and argues that the sovereign toward the ancient art objects lies not in the nations that lay claim to them or control them materially; rather, it lies in the discursive powers that recite them and thus render them countersigns. Finally, the paper analyz es the variety of mythopoesis and iconoclasm, focuses on the modern form in which mythopoesis and iconoclasm dialectically co-present, and points to the proclaimed mission of the United Nations to protect ”the universal cu1tural heritages” as self-contradictory.
