영문 초록

Much of the discourse about (2009, James Cameron) centersaround record financial profits of the film or the emotional 3Dperformance; however, this study focuses on the phenomenon of the“becoming-” mechanism according to Deleuze/Guattari’s Rhizome’sbreakaway within the cosmo-ecological level of Pandora. The process of“becoming-” generates a breakaway. Through narrative text focusing image mise-en-scène, this “becoming-”process of hero Jake Sully is multifaceted as well as conflicted inaccordance to the battle between the humans and the Na’vi tribe. In theprocess “becoming-” the de-territorialization happens by re-territorializationin which the mind-body replaced by the new properties of the assemblage. First, Jake “becoming-twin brother” in order to match twin brother’savatar and “becoming-(secret) agent” for Colonel Miles Quaritch. In thisfirst process, it is the issue to rescue his paraplegic legs, so ‘to be free’. For this mission, he is divided into two: one is ‘human-Jake’, the other‘avatar-Jake’operated by genetically matched humans,Secondly, his “becoming-avatar” gives him joy of free in spite ofobstacle s dues to Pandora’s nature’s power. This process brings‘Jake-avatar’ as ‘Na’vi warrior’ as well as Neytiri’s lover. But his doubleroles puts him in very deep suffering such as video recording showing“who am I ?” question facing his breakaway’s de-territorialization level in the cracked mirror. Jake confesses to being a agent and the Na’vi takehim and Dr. Grace captive. Finally, Jake reveals his owen way to “becoming-Na’vi” experiencingDr. Grace death after facing Pandora’s Nature-mother (Eywa) and thedestruction of Hometree by humans, the biological neural network nativeto Pandora, with many Na’vi tribe many others. Jake is then reconfirmedas a warrior of the Na’vi in the meeting at the Tree of Souls. In these repetitive but differential “becoming-”processes, textcreates conflict between the human’s capitalistic civilization and Pandora’secological life network. Even though the text makes an ecologicallyethical point through Rhizome’s breakaway of Jake, the text as a wholefits Hollywood’s strategy to expand global marketing.
