초록
Thomas King is a mixed-blood Canadian aboriginal writer and his A Short of History of Indians in Canada shows well the narrative strategy of minor literature. According to Deleuze, minor literature is usually affected and characterized by deterritorialization, collectivity and politics. The minor discourse is always surrounded, oppressed and marginalized by the major discourse but looks for a chance to subvert the hierarchy like the return of the oppressed for Freud. In an internal colony, the colonized minor literature mobilizes diverse narrative strategies to decolonize the colonial situation. Thomas King rejects the traditional realist way of representation and instead wields various narrative tactics just like semiotic reversal, recontextualization, metamorphosis, hybridization, political parody and fantasy. This paper examines how the tactics are performed in detail in his text. Through the diverse short stories of the text, Thomas King shows us multiple channels of disturbing, deranging and subverting the European colonial master discourse. He keeps on the flight line continuously never being trapped by the hierarchical, imperialist and colonial discourse.
Abstract
Thomas King is a mixed-blood Canadian aboriginal writer and his A Short of History of Indians in Canada shows well the narrative strategy of minor literature.

The minor discourse is always surrounded, oppressed and marginalized by the major discourse but looks for a chance to subvert the hierarchy like the return of the oppressed for Freud. In an internal colony, the colonized minor literature mobilizes diverse narrative strategies to decolonize the colonial situation.

This paper examines how the tactics are performed in detail in his text.
