Literatura postkolonialna – literatura mniejsza. Pisarstwo postkolonialne wobec koncepcji Deleuze’a i Guattariego
Postcolonial Literature – Minor Literature. Postcolonial Writing in View of the Work of Deleuze and Guattari

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses narrative strategies of resistance in postcolonial literature in the context of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s work on minor literature. The predominant question is whether there is an affinity between Deleuzian thought and the problems of post-colonial theory. Some answers can be found in the book Deleuze and the Postcolonial, edited by Simone Bignall and Paul Patton. The use of language by minor literature has also been discussed in relation to Jacques Derrida’s reflections on the appropriation of foreign languages and monolingualism. The aim of this article is to ponder first, why post-colonial literature has been regarded as “minor” in the sense proposed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and second, how it uses the many potentialities offered by language to express subaltern experiences and identities.
