Fantasy, Paradox and the Virtuality of Animal Images in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Reading from the Deleuzean Concept of Becoming Youngjeen Choe (Chung-Ang University) This essay explores how Gilles Deleuze's notion of “becoming” operates in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. For this purpose, it attempts to analyze the text in terms of the notions such like fantasy, paradox and the virtuality of animal images. In this essay, the notion of fantasy deals with Deleuze's speculation on how the memory of retended pasts can create virtual images in the fantasy space. Viewed from this approach, the narrative structure of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is open to all kinds of queer events in Alice's imagination by serializing them in the form of virtual images latent within her dream. As Deleuze mentions Alice is becoming bigger and smaller simultaneously, the notion of paradox can express temporality as a whole, which is a process of movement between the present and the virtual memory of the past. By this way, the complexity bewteen the actual and the virtual can gain access to the understanding of fantasy as a “becoming.” In other words, fantasy can function as a circuit resulting from the confrontation between the actual and the virtual. In this respect, the fantasy world in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland expresses the interstice between the imaginary and the real, the virtual and the actual by defamiliarizing the objects and animals of the ordinary world in an uncanny way.
