포크너 작품에 나타난 ‘젠더-되기’에 대하여: 조안나와 에밀리를 중심으로

Abstract

Through Gilles Deleuze’s Concept of Desire and De-territorilization, it is found that Faulkner’s women seek their desire from ‘becoming’, not the desire from lack to something. Faulkner’s women utilize transversal subject to seek their desire and make political solidarity between minorities such as black and woman. They make a new space in order to make their identities. For example, in Light in August, Joanna Burden would get around the course of the boundary of man/woman and white/black, embracing Joe Christmas. Joanna make political solidarity between minorities with black people. Emily Grierson conquers Southern ‘gaze’ and ‘glare’. As a result, in “A Rose for Emily” Emily has space to cut across between man and woman. The extreme case is that Emily attack his lover, Homer Baron. Faulkner’s women have a subversive voice to Southern patriarchal system by getting through Territorialization—Deterritorialization—Reterritorialization. Furthermore, Faulkner’s women attack hetero-sexualism and taboo of incest which were combined with Southern culture. Woman’s construction of self-identity could not be static or singular but multi-modal such as Faulkner’s expression of this novel—“still alive and still growing, changing.”
