Beschreibungen/Notizen
In particular, Gluzman (as well as Brenner and Hever) considers whether certain noncanonical products of Hebrew literature conform to the privileged status of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's definition of a "minor literature" from Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature.2 To Deleuze and Guattari, a "minor literature" exhibits three necessary attributes: it must be written in a major language from a marginalized subject position, exist as inherently political, and evince a collective or revolutionary character. [...]since post-Zionists take the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as their generation-defining struggle, they risk transposing ideological commitments informed by the intifada on to the War of Independence, when Israel's very existence was at stake. The author intends to move Goldberg to the center of the canon in order to rescue and perhaps revive a transnational conception of Jewish identity, which he considers to have been suppressed by Zionist taboos. [...]like Yeshurun, the U.S. poets' treatment of other marginalized and persecuted groups, such as blacks and Native Americans, may have hinted at-or at least anticipated-a sensitivity to dispossessed Arabs.
