들뢰즈의 사건과 야크나파타우파

Abstract

Deleuze is known for the philosopher of “event.” In Logic of Sense, he created the concept of event as a reverse of Platonic dichotomy. For Plato, event, or simulacrum, being at the farthest end of Idea, was so meaningless and transitory that it was oppressed for protecting Idea. Based on Stoa's definition of thing,Deleuz's event was realized not by a similarity between Idea and copy but effects between things, called metaphysical surface. Deleuze's event was especially important on understanding of the meaning of literary works. Because the final result of event was a signification of event, it was necessarily expressed by a language. In terms of Deleuze's event, Faulkner's Yoknapatawhpa was not a space of representation, but a space created through ‘a bloc of sensations’ in American South. In other word, Faulkner did not represent the real people, accidents, and things, but create the imaginative space in the real South. In this sense, the most importance things in Faulkner's texts were of expressions on the various aspects of affects in the reponses between white American and Afro-American and their percepts on the reactions to things. Such affects and percepts created a large view of Yoknapatawhpa ruled by racial, social, and moral entities.
