CRUZ, Denise Viuniski da Nova  and  NEITZEL, Adair de Aguiar. For a minor literature. Acta Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.41, e34184.  Epub Jan 02, 2019. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v40i1.34184.

This paper aims to present expanded functions of literary texts through the intercession of two important concepts: the ‘displacement’ proposed by Barthes in his ‘Inaugural Lecture’, and the concept of ‘minor literature’ developed by Deleuze and Guattari. The problem question that guides the research is: What are the functions of the literary text according to Barthes and Deleuze and Guattari? As methodological approach we have chosen to make entrances in the works of Franz Kafka, João Guimarães Rosa and Clarice Lispector making inferences that allow to approach these concepts in the literary narratives. As a result, we emphasize that the functions of the literary text, to Barthes, Deleuze, and Guattari, are displacements that escape the coercive forces of language - fascism - and allow the doubt about their senses, the contradiction and dynamicity of the text, characteristics that place it as minor literature.

Keywords : literatura menor; deslocamentos; literatura; minor literature; displacement; literature.
