巴舍拉（Bachelard）- 空間詩學

「詩意空間」則是在巴舍拉的詩意哲學中，幸福的存有者棲居的語言空間。這種空間是透過場所分析來指出所具之人文價值。空間意象以「家屋」作為典範，一幢具有三個樓層的基本家屋，其中閣樓、地面樓層與地窖代表人類心靈中意識－潛意識、理性－非理性的結構，而在家屋中的棲居活動，則反映了結構中的運動狀態；

另一方面，家屋具有凝聚的吸引力，並藉此保存我們在世間生存活動中的經歷與痕跡所凝聚成的孤寂私密感受與價值，這種價值存在於我們的童年回憶中，透過想像活動得以激發、重新體驗。

(略)

「朝向」詩意空間，需要對「空間」，特別是當代時間－空間關係的一種「空間化的時間」，其中「空間性」意涵的重新思考，空間性的轉換，會是一種氛圍的改變，這指向廢墟的詩意作用以及其中語言存有中形容詞獨特的哲學意涵。
