Abstract

Gilles Deleuze in the "Logic of Sensation" that is a reading of the paintings of Francis Bacon, explicitly criticize the narration. But in fact he criticizes figurative and representational narration, and highlight an alternative narration that exist in the work of Bacon. Our problem in this article is this alternative narration, not in the works of Bacon but in the work of Deleuze himself, in this book. I think Deleuze have a very interesting narrative attitude in this book, he is a theater director. Through elimination of all the figurative and representational narrative elements, Deleuze receive two elements: scene and figure. Empty scene and isolated figure in the scene. We adhere to these two element in the whole of our narration and reveal changeable relations between these two element, changeable relations that operate as engine of our narration. If these two elements are main elements of our narration, the theme of our narration is this: liberation of the frigid figure. This liberation had five step for figure: 1) isolation. 2) deformation 3) dissipation 4) disappearation 5) liberated figure as an acrobat, in other words, athleticism in the bedroom. These five step are five step of a theater that in the end of that, occur the liberation of the figure.
