The following paper sets out to reevaluate the often misunderstood and underestimated German-language literature in Romania as a “minor literature” (Deleuze, 1976), that is, as a literature that utilized its minority to achieve an authentic, subversive and innovative literary expression, that transcended the boundaries of ideologies and cultural and literary paradigms. The goal is to analyze this cultural phenomenon through Deleuze and Guattari’s theory, in order to explicate its marginal and authentic way of being in contrast to the tradition of western modernity and to the absolutist communist regime, which tried to obsessively snuff it out.
