The Minor is not Minorities edit

I've added a paragraph to offset the highly mislead gross inaccuracies of the first paragraph which seems to suggest that Deleuze and Guattari are somehow advocating a form of identity politics. Clearly this cannot be the case given their commitment to difference, multiplicities, and their critique of the molar and Oedipal identity (minority identities being yet another example of such Oedipalization). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.231.40.130 (talk) 16:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Reply


patriarchy edit

The use of the word "patriarchy" in this context is at odds with Deleuze and Guattari's concept of minority, although the example used fits perfectly with the concept. Patriarchy is often used as a concept to produce the type of standard that becomes major under Deleuze and Guattari's definition, as noted in Claire Colebrook's introduction to Deleuze.

Needs definition edit

Currently, the article is pretty much incomprehensible because it obliquely describes what the concept isn't, but doesn't actually define what "minority" means as Deleuze and Guattari use it. The opening sentence should be rewritten to state the meaning precisely. 73.223.72.200 (talk) 16:56, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
