In Kafka Deleuze and Guattari free their subject from his In "Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature," Deleuze and Guatarri have done the same things they accuse the old Kafkologists of doing, in effect stripping Kafka of his old Kafkalogical baggage only to create a new Kafkology, one that focuses more on a weird interpretive biography of the man as celebrity than it does by trying to understand his works in their modernist setting.

In Kafka: pour une litterature mineure, Deleuze and Guattari enter Kafka's work When Kafka indicates one of the goals of a minor literature, "the purification of the conflict between fathers and sons and the possibility of discussing it," this does not involve an Oedipal fantasy but a political program.5 "Even if the question of the individual is often thought through quite calmly, one still does not reach the boundary where it connects into blocks with other, analogous arrangements: but one can reach the boundary which connects it with politics, one can even strive to Deleuze and Guattari_Kafka, Toward a Minor Literature (1975)_Forward and Chapter 3.pdf Download Deleuze and Guattari_Kafka, Toward a Minor Literature (1975)_Forward and Chapter 3.pdf (1.62 MB) Kafka : Toward a Minor Literature.

Deleuze kafka towards a minor literature

A minor literature is not the literature of a minor language but the literature a minority makes in a major language. But the primary characteristic of a minor literature involves all the ways in which the language is effected by a strong co-efficent of deterritorialization.1 This is the way that Kafka defines the impass which bars Prague's Jews from Unhappy with the treatment of Franz Kafka’s work by scholars, Deleuze and Guattari wrote Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature in order to attack previous analyses of Kafka which they saw as limiting him either "by oedipalizing and relating him to mother-father narratives—or by trying to limit him to theological-metaphysical speculation to the detriment of all the political, ethical, and ideological dimensions that run through his work". Kafka works toward a deterritorialization which cannot be reterritorialized by an interpreter: what he expresses are "states of desire independent of all interpretation," and he expresses these states not in a universal way but as a Jew in Prague, as the writer of a minor literature who finds that if expression provides an escape, it does so in connection with a specific cultural context. 10 Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature, trans. Dana Polan (Minneapolis, Uni‐ versity of Minnesota Press, 1986). 11 In 1980, upon the release of A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze gave an interview to Catherine Clément, in which Some of the short stories were published, but none of the novels.

Kafka was a major talent and made a major contribution to literature, but Kafka's major contribution is "toward a minor literature." How so is the topic of the book. Minority (French: minorité) is a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their books Kafka: Towards a Minor Literature (1975), A Thousand Plateaus (1980), and elsewhere. In these texts, they criticize the concept of "majority".

In this classic of critical thought, Deleuze and Guattari challenge conventional interpretations of Kafka’s work. Instead of exploring preexisting categories or literary genres, they propose a concept of “minor literature”—the use of a major language that subverts it from within.
