This book has four parts plus a small dynamic book


Part one

The catalog display divides the article into three parts. A preface is written based on the article so that the audience can grasp the main idea of ​​the article. At the same time, pictures of bones in the article are extracted and combined to help understand the meaning of the article


Part two

This part has a corresponding dynamic display. This bone is slowly composed of many particles, which represents the slow formation of the meaning of this original bone. Many particles represent the current cultural background and other factors to form this stick. At the same time, the text behind the bone is also constantly appearing in the form of water ripples, which is also to reflect the birth of the term stick


Part three

Start to involve the changes in the meaning of "stick" and the changes in its meaning
Stick = tool of governing power: Scepter of the King
Stick = means of discipline and punishment: Caning in Education
Stick = Phallus, symbol of male power and patriarchy
It also symbolizes evolution, wisdom, human technological progress and other meanings
Therefore, in the dynamics of this part, the color, form and transparency of the stick are constantly changing, which means that the meaning behind the stick is also constantly changing. At the same time, the text in the background is also constantly distorting and recovering, indicating that the original meaning of the stick has changed and is constantly changing as time develops


Part four

From “androcentric stick culture” to the social trend of “de-phallicization”

How the stick gradually retreated from the stage of history in modern society and provides an in-depth analysis of the operation of new forms of power. However, there has been a fundamental change in the way modern society is managed, with the physical nature of violence reduced and replaced by a more invisible and complex control system.


So in this part of the dynamic, I moved the arrangement of different sticks horizontally, in order to show that the original stick is withdrawing from sight and the new stick will appear again. The text that appears and disappears in the background also illustrates that old concepts will continue to disappear and be replaced by new trends, and this process will continue to be repeated in the future


This attached small book section is dedicated to displaying the dynamic part, showing the different colors and shapes of bones, allowing you to see the changes more intuitively from the perspectives of symbolic meaning, historical background, visual metaphor, etc.



The black and gray tones convey philosophy and depth, and symbolize power. This book explores the cultural metaphor of the "stick", and black has a sense of philosophical mystery, which is in line with the discussion of symbolic power in the book.Gray represents transition, and gray is between black and white, symbolizing ambiguity, contradiction, and reflection, which is in line with the critical perspective of this book on power, order, and social evolution. Orange creates a sense of conflict and makes content more engaging
