Park, Jinsook. “Deterritorialization of the Language and Repetition in Eternal Return in The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World”. Modern Studies in English Language & Literature 57.1 (2013): 97-113. The purpose of this study is to examine Suzan-Lori Parks` The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World through Deleuze`s deterritorialization of the language and repetition in eternal return. Deleuze states that minor literature does not define its meaning; rather, it offers ``the line of escape`` by ceaseless violation, involvement, resistance, subversion, and deterritorialization of the language. He delineates Black English as a minor language. Parks` African- American Vernacular English deterritorializes a major language by deconstructing and reassigning meaning to the language. Her ``repetition with revision`` is associated with Deleuze`s ``difference`` and ``repetition``. Parks` revision and repetition displaced ``variation`` and ``becoming`` of language used to define Deleuze`s philosophy. Parks` main character, BLACK MAN WITH WATERMELON, has recurring death and returning scenes which are compared to Deleuze`s ideas of the death instinct and repetition in eternal return. Parks suggests a wide range of interpretation and possibilities for affirmative black aesthetics, recognizing the ``fabricated absence`` of black history in America by the black man`s death and repetition in eternal return.
