Politics of poetics: Towards a minor literature with Julia Kristeva

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to explore the politics of poetics through conceptual analysis. It draws from Julia Kristeva’s works and operates with notions such as semiotic, symbolic, jouissance, and laughter. Complementarily, the paper also explores Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concepts of collective assemblage of enunciation and minor literature, the latter acting as the implied objective the analysis. Defining politics, the article uses Jacques Rancière’s concept of politics as the distribution of the sensible, which is itself plural and intervenable. The semiotic process is combined with poetic language’s possibilities of reassembling mutual life, creating new communities, and questioning the laws established by the symbolic order. That way, a multiplicity of new positions could emerge. After exploring these concepts as tools for achieving minor literature, the article analyses natalja nekramatnaja’s and Tõnis Vilu’s texts to illustrate the actualization of the politics of poetics in poetic texts.
