Effect,Sense and Life:On the Theory of Event in Deleuze's The Logic of Sense
"Event"is one of the most crucial concepts in Deleuze's philosophy.In The Logic of Sense,Deleuze systematically explores the concept of event by drawing on the physics,logic,and ethics of Stoicism.Firstly,an event is obviously not a fact or accident,but an incorporeal effect and a non-actualized state of affairs.Secondly,an event is a verb and a sense full of paradoxes.Lastly,Deleuze argues that life should be seized as an event,and a person should not be seen as a static physical entity,but as a series of changes and actions.Importantly,an event is not only a theoretical subject but also a paradigm of thinking.In the construction of literary theory and the practice of literary criticism by Derek Attridge,Ilai Rowner,Terry Eagleton,and others,the theory of event continuously encounters with other theoretical discourses,thus becoming a highly inspiring trend of thought in literary criticism.
