The Educational Significance of Clothing Behavior in Light of Deleuze's Body Discourse

This study explores clothing behavior as a way to overcome obstacles to clothing behavior and reconstruct myself in light of Deleuze’s discourse on the body. The purpose is to discover new educational meanings that can be obtained from Deleuze’s discourse on the body and to apply them to clothing behavior and clothing life education. The fictional logics that are byproducts of the ‘next’ determined by social norms and traditional culture are more strongly expressed in clothing behavior and even offset clothing values. As a result of decision-making difficulties, dependence on others, and conformity, I end up living while being intertwined with others’ lives, handing over the decision-making power of what I wear to others. The body without organs, which is the enemy of the organism, is a dimension of potentiality that means that it is in a constant process of change, and it is a force of creation that opposes all patterns in which the flow of desire becomes fixed and fixed. It contains a message of rejection of standardization, systematization, and organization that suppress or control not only the common sense about the body but also natural human desires. In Deleuze's discourse on the body, reconstructing the self, or me, is the process of breaking away from fixed self-concepts and social rules and creating a new self. In the process, the clothing behavior that finds ‘myself’ and continues the desire for beauty that suits me as a positive flow is on the same line. The distribution of new desires and power experienced through clothing behavior allows us to newly discover the meaning hidden in the existing way of life or the order of the world. Clothing behavior, as a positive process of forming new organs and becoming a new subject, an ‘organism’, has educational significance as a method of reconstructing a new me.
