德勒兹的情动理论与生成文学

Deleuze’s Affect Theory and Becoming-Literature

在情动理论成为诸多学科分析热点的背景下,情动理论仍有颇多争议之处。检视斯宾诺莎和德勒兹情动理论可以发现,斯宾诺莎的情动体现的是身体和心灵的被动反应;而德勒兹把情动概念去背景化,用以构建瓦解权力规训、恢复生命潜能的通路。德勒兹认为符号是权力流转的主要途径,基于情动这个观测点,他在文学场域中捕捉到众多能够有效瓦解权力的方式,创造性地提出了生成文学理论,把文学创作带入政治斗争场。

Despite the multi-disciplinary scholarly attention it has drawn, affect theory is subject to various contestations. An in-depth examination of Spinoza’s and Deleuze’s respective theory of affect reveals that Spinoza’s concept of affect is a reflection upon the passive reactions of the body and mind, whereas Deleuze de-contextualizes the concept of affect so as to construct an approach to breaking down the power discipline and restoring the potentials of life. Deleuze opines that symbols are the primary vehicle for power transfer. From the perspective of “affect, ” he captures multiple effective ways of power disintegration in the field of literature, creatively proposes the theory of becoming-literature, and brings literary creation into the field of political struggle.
