Over the years great care has been lavished by scholars of Hobbes on decoding the image produced for Leviathan by Abraham Bosse with the creative input of Thomas Hobbes. This article focusses instead on the reception and remaking of this image, arguably the most iconic image in the statist imaginary. Attention turns here, in particular, to two contemporary artworks, Do Ho Suh’s Some/One (2005) and Ernesto Neto’s Leviathan Thot (2006). Both of these artworks visually recall and re-problematize Hobbes’s frontispiece: its depiction of the political body and of the complex relationships between the elements comprising it. They therefore offer us a curious perspective from which to re-engage with Hobbes’s work and the political aesthetics that has immortalized it.

重新想象利维坦

多年来，霍布斯的学者们在解码亚伯拉罕·博斯 (Abraham Bosse) 与托马斯·霍布斯 (Thomas Hobbes) 的创造性输入为利维坦 (Leviathan) 制作的图像方面付出了极大的努力。这篇文章的重点是对这个形象的接受和改造，可以说是国家主义想象中最具标志性的形象。注意力在这里特别转向两件当代艺术作品，Do Ho Suh 的 Some/One (2005) 和 Ernesto Neto 的 Leviathan Thot (2006)。这两件艺术品都在视觉上唤起了霍布斯的卷首画并重新提出了问题：它描绘了政治机构以及构成它的元素之间的复杂关系。因此，它们为我们提供了一个奇特的视角，让我们重新接触霍布斯的作品和使之不朽的政治美学。
