Minorità come fabulazione. Deleuze e il popolo che manca tra letteratura e cinema

The article focuses on the book by Deleuze and Guattari devoted to Kafka and the concept of minor literature, and analyses its three characteristics: “deterritorialization” of language; immediate connection between individual and political; collective value. The article underlines how, according to the two authors, Kafka's texts are “literary machines”, rich of assemblages, movement and desire, and not metaphors that have to be interpreted. Finally, the concept of becoming minor is referred to the cinema. The article mainly wants to emphasize the link between minority and “fabulation”: in fact, political cinema has the capacity to invent a “missing people”.
