This paper aims to examine the virtual of simulacra in Don DeLillo’s White Noise. As a writer living in the mass-media and image cultures, DeLillo has been coping with the post-industrial society in a negative way. Nevertheless, the deep concern of man arises along with the hope for the future. Through White Noise, on the one hand, DeLillo reflects the negative aspects of media images, while, on the other hand, he sheds light on the positive sides of media images. In short, what DeLillo strongly claims is that we cannot help living with simulacra. The term, simulacra, is used here as a renewed term in its relationship with the original. Reacting to the old belief since Plato who denied a copy as a perversion, Gilles Deleuze utilizes that concept as a bearing of positive power in the age of media culture. He explores simulacra through the virtual, which is not actual but fully real based on the actual. By repetitions and differences, every actualisation emerges from the virtual. In this sense, simulacra are the practical signs that make peculiarities and differences. What literature should do in this age is to create becoming through differences and repetitions. This may be the ethics of simulacra I attempt to elaborate in my paper.
Abstract
This paper aims to examine the virtual of simulacra in Don DeLillo’s White Noise. As a writer living in the mass-media and image cultures, DeLillo has been coping with the post-industrial society in a negative way. Nevertheless, the deep concern of man arises along with the hope for the future. Through White Noise, on the one hand, DeLillo reflects the negative aspects of media images, while, on the other hand, he sheds light on the positive sides of media images. In short, what DeLillo strongly claims is that we cannot help living with simulacra. The term, simulacra, is used here as a renewed term in its relationship with the original. Reacting to the old belief since Plato who denied a copy as a perversion, Gilles Deleuze utilizes that concept as a bearing of positive power in the age of media culture. He explores simulacra through the virtual, which is not actual but fully real based on the actual. By repetitions and differences, every actualisation emerges from the virtual. In this sense, simulacra are the practical signs that make peculiarities and differences. What literature should do in this age is to create becoming through differences and repetitions. This may be the ethics of simulacra I attempt to elaborate in my paper.
