Composing with the Chthulucene: Desiring a minor literature

Deleuze and Guattari define a minor literature as “the literature of a minority makes in a major language” (p. 16). This chapter performs the re-territorialisation of that feminine texts within academic writing by relegating the masculine explanations for it to the cliff/footnotes, so there are also multiple ways into this text. It embraces blogging as a form of mass [academic] culture that breaks down the walls of high [academic] culture by asking the audience to become an active, rather than passive, consumer of academic texts (Steinberg, 2006). This chapter writes in a way which provokes emotions (I know, I’ve tested it) as active engagement with text, but also continues Cixous’s (1976) agenda of advocating for a place for feminine literature within cultural studies
