+ Subculture:Gothic +

今日輕輕簡單地談談“Gothic-歌德”是什麼。

大多數人對“Gothic”的認知﹐多半是出於衣著上﹐誤以為只要著得全身黑﹐化個白白的像鬼一般妝就是了;其實也只是Gothic的一部分而已﹐正式來說在80S之後衣飾和音樂上會稱之為“Goth”。

那“Gothic”又怎麼去理解呢?

先說一點"Gothic"的歷史源由。“Gothic”這字的出處,沒記錯大概是早在公元前的歐洲,出現了一個叫作歌德的部族.他們是所謂的野蠻人(Barbarian)﹐以搶掠見稱﹐所以有一段時間“Gothic”這詞是被認為是粗暴沒有文化的低下族裔。

最最令人開始對“Gothic”這字眼熟悉的﹐卻是出現在12世紀的歌德式建築—尖頂大教堂﹐其中最著名的就屬巴黎的聖母院大教堂(Notre Dame De Chartes)。

直到18世紀維多利亞時期(Victorian),浪漫主義(Romanticism)的爆發,"歌德"又再次被人所提倡;因而在文學上的區分就有了“Gothic Novel”這一項。大家耳熟能詳的作品:Edgar Allan Poe、Mary Shelly和Bram Stoker的恐怖小說。當中Bram Stoker的“Dracula”最為人津津樂道,還不斷被改編拍成電影。

到70s尾聲,隨著Punk文化的退潮﹐Post Punk的冒起﹐又誕生了另一個“Gothic”浪潮。“Gothic/Goth”這一詞不斷被用以形容不論是衣著上或是音樂上的表現﹐但普遍只會稱做“Goth”。而在這一時期大家一定不能不認識稱號為“Grandfather”和“Grandmother”of Goth:Peter Murphy(Bauhaus)和Siouxsie Sioux(Siouxsie and the Banshees)這2位鼻祖。

那麼“Gothic”或是“Goth”有何不同?!

總的來說“Gothic”重點是一種關於思想上的表現。對死亡的一種敬仰﹑唯美的另一類審美觀念﹑甚至於對宗教的信念(這個幾乎不能以一個特定宗教來識別是歌德族與否)。

“Goth”就真的是因為80s爆發的歌德浪潮而衍生的對於形象上的表現。就形象來說﹐Goth的種類要細分起來可多達百種以上,當然最為普遍的像:Classic Goth﹑Punk Goth﹑Cyber Goth﹑Kitty Goth 等等...但分類歸於分類﹐歌德族最有趣的是可以依自己想要表現的自我作出不同變動。那你也可以去創製自己想要的Goth形象!!!

因此﹐“Gothic”不完全就等於“Goth”;擁有“Gothic”的思想可以不據有“Goth”的打扮特點﹐擁有“Goth”的打扮不一定要喜歡“Gothic”的思想和音樂(如吸血鬼文化,對死亡的興趣,樂隊如Bauhaus﹐Sisters of Mercy和Dead Can Dance等...)。
