Writing Minor Literature

Abstract

This article is written with a commitment to advocacy. It is intended to embody a rhetoric that will help to animate Deleuze and Guattari’s claims for “minor literacies” in ways that sees writing as always emergent, contingent, and offering challenge to the transcendent. In attempting to bring this to life, the article is also concerned to activate awareness of and encourage engagement with, what Barad has described as, the “entanglements” that exist between language and the materialities of worlds within which it comes to life. The article is written with the intention and a sense of hope that the inferences for practice that can be made from its arguments might promote further inquiries into writing as both method of inquiry and pedagogic practice within contemporary education settings.
