Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to propose, in a predominantly hypothetical character  and for the purpose of discussion, a set of ideas about the relationship between the call "minor theory" and the "totalitarian theories" o "totalitarians". I start for its development from a critical reading of Cindi Katz and Michel Foucault's positions about to the importance of the call "minor theory" in relation to the methodological construction and reconstruction to the concern of different problematic fields.

Key words: minor theory, major theory, methodological construction.
