Reihe: Transcultural Aesthetics

Politics and Minor Literature offers the first global and transcultural critical intervention of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of 'minor literature'. Taking their study on Kafka as the point of departure, the authors in this collected volume travel historically, geographically, conceptually, and linguistically to examine the ways in which 'minor literature' flourishes as a nomadic concept since the publication of Deleuze and Guattari's work. The contributions in this volume extend Deleuze and Guattari's analysis to authors beyond Kafka in multilingual and translingual contexts, to the work of poetry, to historically-informed works taking place on the border of territories, and to examinations of distant and disparate ways of imagining collectivity. Each contribution offers a way of imagining how 'minor literature' appears and acts in the world today.
