초록
This study is to examine the meanings of deterritorialization of the body in William Faulkner’s novel, Light in August. Human bodies can be interpreted as organic matter containing their own confined realms in the physical world of phenomenon. However, the body of Joe Christmas in the text can be noticed to cross the boarders between the other and the subject, center and margin. His identity also sways between the black and the white without taking its own stable realm of being. His bloodline is not clearly revealed due to his unclear ancestry. But this ambiguousness of him can be positively interpreted as the mechanism to dismantle the establishment of center and margin, and the realms of the other and the subject. Joe’s castration by Percy Grimm is quite notable in the sense that his severed body symbolizes the deconstructed torso trespassing the line between normality and abnormality, reason and unreason. Joe’s body clearly seems to transgress the boundary of distinction or the differentiated realms of center and margin. The emasculation of his organ also signifies “the body without organs” which freely roams the chasm of borderlines. It is quite true that the fluid corpse of Joe Christmas comes and goes over the confirmed and confined spheres while subverting and deterritorializing settled recognitive frame of modern reasoning and consciousness.
Abstract
This study is to examine the meanings of deterritorialization of the body in William Faulkner’s novel, Light in August. Human bodies can be interpreted as organic matter containing their own confined realms in the physical world of phenomenon. However, the body of Joe Christmas in the text can be noticed to cross the boarders between the other and the subject, center and margin. His identity also sways between the black and the white without taking its own stable realm of being. His bloodline is not clearly revealed due to his unclear ancestry. But this ambiguousness of him can be positively interpreted as the mechanism to dismantle the establishment of center and margin, and the realms of the other and the subject. Joe’s castration by Percy Grimm is quite notable in the sense that his severed body symbolizes the deconstructed torso trespassing the line between normality and abnormality, reason and unreason. Joe’s body clearly seems to transgress the boundary of distinction or the differentiated realms of center and margin. The emasculation of his organ also signifies “the body without organs” which freely roams the chasm of borderlines. It is quite true that the fluid corpse of Joe Christmas comes and goes over the confirmed and confined spheres while subverting and deterritorializing settled recognitive frame of modern reasoning and consciousness.
