本論文試圖討論動畫此一視覺敘事呈現之中的視覺論述與觀看動畫之主體彼此之關係。首先從「互文性」與「效果歷史」討論敘事及其與視覺敘事的關係：動畫及觀看主體兩者之間的觀看問題切入，並聚焦於觀看主體此一慾望主體的「凝視」行為及探討在觀看(watch)、甚至凝視(gaze)動畫此一慾望主體，在動畫論述中又看到了什麼，做一簡略延伸探討。這些都是本論文所希冀關心並嘗試釐清者。

This thesis tries to discuss the visual discourse in the representation of animation and its relationship with the subject who watches the animation. The narrative will be discussed from the viewpoints of Intertextuality and Wirkungsgeschichte, and its relationship with the visual narrative will be explored: the issue of watching between animation and the watching subject is opened up; the gaze of the desiring subject, or the watching subject, is focused; and what this desiring subject actually sees in the animation discourse is examined.
