摘要:The aesthetics of the floating world: Deleuze’s “japonism”. Gilles Deleuze’s thought echoes beyond European or Western cultural domain; indeed, in Deleuze’s work, there is place for a privileged relationship with Asia, Far East, and Japan in particular. The present study highlights the variety of Deleuzian references to Japanese cultural uni-verse, within an essentially aesthetic and cultural framework. In the first instance, this study observes Deleuzian affinities with japonisme as a “cultural fashion”, with a specif-ic focus upon the link between aesthetics of simulacra and Japanese prints of the uki-yo-e genre. Secondly, to be taken into account is the connection between the Deleuzian Ethics of the Event and Zen practice, with reference to the philosophers of the Kyōto School. A comparison between Deleuze’s notion of surface, the artistic tradition of emakimono and Japanese cinema (both animated and live-action) is attempted in the conclusion
