| 摘要 | This thesis applies Walter Benjamin's ideas on aura as outlined in his text, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” to art restoration. In this study, I treat restoration as a form of what Benjamin calls “manual” reproduction. I examine how Benjamin's views on the decay of aura relate to specific restoration practices in Thailand and Italy. I argue that Benjamin's ideas on aura do not apply universally, but rather that social and cultural factors come into play. To illustrate this point, I discuss two projects from the 1980s: the restoration of the vihan in the Buddhist temple Wat Suthat in Bangkok and the restoration of the Camera degli Sposi in the Castello San Giorgio in Mantua. I argue, with reference to social and cultural contexts, that Benjamin's ideas on aura seem more applicable to the project at the Camera degli Sposi than at Wat Suthat in Thailand. Whereas in the Camera, restoration diffuses the aura of the original, at Wat Suthat, restoration takes on a form of ritualistic renewal, tied into the very mythologies and cultural foundations of Buddhism. |
