Deleuze, the concept of minor literature and its unfolding in the Cortazarian machine
Keywords:
Deleuze, Minor literature, device, Kafka, literary machine, Cortázar, HopscotchAbstract
In this text we will review the concept of minor literature, as deployed by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s work dedicated to Franz Kafka. These philosophers manage to outline several typical characteristics of contemporary literature, a privileged expression of social conditions from the time of the Czech writer to present day. From this review, we will trace the characteristics of minor literature from Cortazarian novels, thought to be a literary machine, while exploring Hopscotch, a novel we will present as a device in Deleuzian way.
