Abstract
Becoming-minor is regarded by Deleuze as the most efficient way of fighting against all existing forms of power. In Deleuze's sense, minor-literature that was mainly generated by minor-language was the embodiment of becoming-minor in the field of literature. This paper attempts to reframe Deleuze's thinking upon the relation between literature and politics by probing into the mechanism of minor-language forming. It can be argued that Deleuze critically approached this new relation by examining the mechanism of minor-language through the withered major-language and the blending usage of various languages with different functional and grammatical cases. From the minor-language perspective, another possibility can be found in interpreting contemporary Chinese "xungen" (seeking cultural and identity roots) literature and vernacular novels.
