백석 문학의 탈주체화– 들뢰즈와 가타리의 소수 문학론의 관점에서

Abstract

This article examines a new understanding of subjectivity as the reason behind Deleuze-Guattari`s concept of “Minor Literature,” by examining the process of desubjectivization of subjects in the literary space of Baek-seok. The pattern through which a subject is transformed into a new subjectivity is particularly meaningful as it provides a new perspective into Baek-seok's view of the modern era. The characteristics of the subjects that appear in Baek-seok's poetry world show a perception that contradicts the philosophy of the modern subject. As such, new entities that appear after the disappearance of modern subjects achieve “Deterritorialization” by escaping from the modern space previously assigned. This process also shows the perception of Baek-seok's reality beyond the limits of modern Korean time and space that were a result of Japan's colonial urban planning. In other words, the space embodied by the poet through literary works can be said to be the result of the process of “Reterritorialization” created by leaving the rigid space of modern times. At the end of this process, Baek-seok's unique literary space becomes a non-total and very diverse space for the becoming of infinite subjects. For this reason, the subjects of Baek-seok’s poetry do not follow the grammar of universal lyric poetry by denying the hierarchical relationship between the subject and the object. These subjects stand in an equal position while freely crossing the boundary between humans and non-human materials. On the other hand, the desubjective writing in Baek-seok’s literature can function as a meaningful methodology for explaining Baek-seok’s simultaneous or fairy tale creation process after liberation.
