| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 建築與城鄉研究所 === 95 === This thesis aimed at the process of the excavation and reduction of the broken-off ordinary social relationship caused by nudity. The interactive bathing situation was seized by seeing of the essence to restore the social interactive relationships to the original state. Several public hot spring bathing houses were chosen as the field of this ethnography.
As these women took off their clothes, what followed the naked body was a quite common mental status, embarrassment. There seemed to be a gap between "who she is" and "who should she be". We’re seldom naked in front of others. Nudity was ruled out by receiving careful suggestions from the others to set the dress code by situation. This showed that the social rules were carried out by corporal bodies. The rules and taboos operated as body attitude were constructed along the interaction of self and others, more specifically, it’s a model of intersubjectivity. Thus the body attitude wasn’t fixed from the very beginning at all, it promised a change itself.
Through this ethnographic study, in-depth interviews and phenomenological description, the desired composition and body status that shaped the sites told a story of an isolated “me” becoming an united “us” through interactive rituals. Genuine naked bodies also deleted the fake idea of elder body and the idea of other body was better than the lousiest me. As she realized the imaginative sight from others, what triggered off the embarrassment became no harm and this gave her a chance to doubt what they used to believe others to be and herself, who’s always under the definition of others.
