Minor Literature and Pop Culture: Possible Connections

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the way literature and pop culture are articulated, since by literature is usually meant something “classical” and by pop culture something which is not initially recognized as such. It is a problem of recognition, but also a problem of finding out what it means for a “pop culture” with rather indefinite contours to be connected to literature. We think it is possible to study this issue by appealing to the texts that Gilles Deleuze devotes to literature and especially to his view on a so-called “minor” literature. The purpose of this article is to identify how the concept of “minor literature” can help to explain the relationship between pop culture and literature. This involves clearing up what pop culture actually is, in its connections to the bohemia, to consumer society, and above all, to “minor literature”.
