碩士 === 中原大學 === 室內設計研究所 === 97 === Mobility is not just the basic phenomenon of human living and society existence; it is also the social trend of globalization. Possessing the power of space has gradually changed over the years. Nowadays, the degree of mobility is directly proportional to the amount of social power one holds, which corresponds with the ability to control space. In the past, females who lack of active mobility fits in with the female character deserved in the social norm in those days, yet this type of trend also began to scatter and fall apart due to the transition of the environment. Movies record human history and recur the location of human activity events, which naturally reflects the urban living space and experience of humans since movies began developing hundreds of years ago, allowing audiences to take a ride in the time machine, through the mobility of images, to interpret another aspect of the environment in the past, today and future. However, instead of directly applying the actual environment as the target in female related researches, as done in the past, this study observes the living environment of females through the lens, therefore re-examine female in reality through comparison. This study uses the bodily experiences of females from various movies as its main aim. Through the mobility of females in images, this study explores how females change from passive to active through different modes of mobility trajectory. The frequentation of bodily mobility experiences controls the speed and mobility. In addition, through images, we comprehend how females develop and grasp their own sense of personal space with the evolution of mobility modes, and this corresponds to the topic of females in the actual environment. Furthermore, by comparing the theories of manifestation and bodily mobility space in movies, the power, motivation and results females have on mobility is thus further discussed in this study.
