Deleuze and Guattari’s becoming and the Potential for Feminist Criticism of Cultural Content

Abstract

Most feminist criticisms of media content center on patriarchal ideology, highlighting the problem of representation. The concept of becoming, despite its ambiguity in practice, seems theoretically useful for interpreting minority politics, including feminism. Becoming is a concept that drives women’s desires to transcend their traditional role of being secondary to men in the patriarchal system. This article introduces examples of various content to more precisely understand Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of becoming, which has been applied in interdisciplinary ways. In the future, it will be possible to explore feminist micropolitical practice through interpretation and creation of content in connection with Deleuze and Guattari's concept of becoming.
