들뢰즈/가타리의 관점에서 본 소수자신학 연구

Abstract

This essay aims to examine the ‘minority theology’ from a Deleuzo-Guattarian point of view who have characterized our age as the one of minorities. To read out the minority ramifying and diffusing in varied forms today while the Western modernity reaching its limits is a sort of responsibility of the contemporary theology. Attempts as such, in fact, have been made since 1960’s by certain branches of radical theology –- Minjung theology, liberation theology, black theology, feminist theology, Dalit theology, ect., for example. These theologies are discontinuous each other, each being originated in its own social and ecopolitical background and context, but continuous at the same time as they can be placed on a horizon of the universal minority theology they have in common. To have the minority as one’s theological subject, criticism and overcome of the traditional Western theology with its ontology and modernity are to precede anything else. For the Western theology not only has formed around the dominant criteria or standards of its society, but also played a certain role to fixate its governing system, in that it can be called a ‘majority theology’. Thus we need to basically review the Western theology from a new constructivist perspective. Questioning the matter of minority theology, it is the hope of this essay that it has formed the basis of theological understanding of various kind of minorities arisen in the modern society—particularly in process of tightening the capture of capitalism and state apparatus.
