들뢰즈의 얼굴-언어와 얼굴 탈영토화

Abstract

Deleuze’s Face-Language and Deterritorialization of Face Sa Kong, il (Pusan University of Foreign Studies) Language enforces a codification of the world according to orthodox categories and classifications, and the world comes to people already organized and structured through networks of visual clichés. The human face serves as a substance of expression for linguistic forms of expression, each speech act resonating with an accompanying facial expression. An abstract machine of signification and subjectification coordinates the interaction of linguistic signs and facial expressions. The face that combines the despotic regime and the passional regime is white wall-black hole system, which brings together a despotic wall of interconnected signifiers and passional black holes of subjective absorption. The abstract machine of faciality converts the face into a structuring grid that interacts with signs without resembling them. While despotic-passional encodings may be reinforced by producing facialized compositions, those encodings may also be undermined by deterritorializing the face and its extended facializations. Through the deterritorialization of the face what Deleuze seeks is the development of probe-heads, which corresponds to cosmic lines of flight that open territories to the outside. Also, this deterritorialization of the face is an active flight, a positive deterritorialization, a face’s becoming-other, and a probe head’s movement toward regions of the asignifying, the asubjective, and the faceless.
