Deleuze & Guattari: “How many people today live in a language that is not their own?” Forced to speak another’s language, the task of a minor literature is “to become a nomad” within that language. To smuggle oneself in, take what one needs, and set the old words in flight.pic.twitter.com/FuKJKjaqM4
“Even when it is unique, a language remains a mixture.” Deleuze & Guattari remind us that in even the most strict and stultifying languages there are shifting elements, limits, and powers. A minor literature drives this conflict, from within, to the point of collapse:pic.twitter.com/yBW2I8sjL6
“There is nothing major or revolutionary except the minor. To hate all language of masters. [...] To be a sort of stranger in one’s own language. [...] [All] language is open to intensive utilization that makes it take flight along creative lines of escape.” —Deleuze & Guattari
“How many styles or genres or literary movements [have a] single dream: to assume a major function in language.” Too many seek to found a new regime, impose another stagnating order. In Kafka, Deleuze & Guattari find “the opposite dream: know how to create a becoming-minor.”pic.twitter.com/ZhDReBurdb
