‘불일치’와 ‘탈중심성’으로서 장애를 사유하기 위한 모색: ‘들뢰즈의 ‘숭고’와 ‘시간-이미지’와 관련하여

Abstract

This study addresses the ‘disability’ as an important task from a different perspective from the general philosophical approach. In general, contemporary philosophy approaches disability from liberal political philosophy or bioethics standpoint. This perspective, based on the concept of human rights, presupposes that the disabled are vulnerable and that they are defective. On the other hand, we start by taking issue with the logic of connecting ‘disability’ to defects or vulnerabilities. To establish an alternative perspective on this, we importantly refer to Gilles Deleuze’s philosophical problem consciousness and thinking. Through ‘the plan of immanence’ concept of the Deleuze’s philosophy, it is possible to reflect on the non-representative dimension outside the recognition of the same. We are convinced that philosophical reflection on disability is possible through Deleuze's transcendental empiricism. In brief, we would like to examine ‘disagreement’ and ‘decentrality’ among the new semantic topography through Deleuze’s philosophy of art concepts (sublime and time-image). The two concepts will also be an important reference point for new reflections on disabilities. Ultimately, we consider ‘disability’ as a major driving force to explore the aesthetic of existence of generation and the possibility of minority cultural politics, approaching defects or damage from a different perspective. This is also an argument that if contemporary philosophy considers the common cracks we experience, of course, reflection on disability should be an important task.
