Description

Minor Literature Minor is meant in a positive sense as it is minority constructs within a major language. Minor literature has three key features: Linguistic deterritorialization, political identity and collective agency. that's what it is reported in Deleuze and Guattari's teste "Kafka: toward a minor literature". First of all we have the notion of Linguistic deterritorialization that explain how the language could be a victim of deterritorialization, using an example. The writing of the Jews of Prague, they're not even near to German language but neither to Czech primitive one, that's why language is always affected by the deterritorialization. Kafka wrote in his mother tongue. It is perhaps curious, given his ethnic background, that his mother tongue should have been standard German, but it was.

They still are necessary to determine the value. The third thing we can anylise about minor literature is that in it everything takes on a collective value, could it be the word of one person the same thought of thousand people because it is positive for the literature to share ideas and have thoughts in common. It is also an opportunity for the writer to let his public know more about a community and that's the reason why the scarcity of talent at writing is not damaged. We can see at the very end that there are three main keys that explain the minor literature. We don't have to require a specific type of literature, we don't necessarily need rethoric and rich vocabulary but just the conditions to understand how revolutionary the literature could be....
