Multilingualism and the Czechoslovak context of «Minor Literature»
Abstract Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s theory of «minor literature» has had considerable impact not only on the study of Franz Kafka, but on the field of comparative literature. This article questions whether this theory’s linguistic assumptions are adequate for the complex cultural landscape of modern Prague, and examines the ways in which Deleuze and Guattari’s speculations on minor literatures overlook or simplify important aspects of the Czechoslovak literary context. For a counter-perspective, it draws on Milan Kundera, who offers the «small nations» as a different vantage point on European history.
