Abstract: Dahlia Ravikovitch is recognized as the most important Hebrew poetess after the founding of Israel. In the light of Gilles Deleuze’s and Felix Guattari’s theories of“minor literature”and“becoming,”a line of escape,from“becoming—woman”to“becoming—the other,”can be discerned in the author’s pioneering character and her writings of betrayal against the suppress of traditional Hebrew patriarchy, criticism of violence and power,and denunciation of writers’on-looking attitude. Such a linguistic descoping,including the destruction of the current power structure and the denial of the same identity of the self, and the exploration of new types of sensation are an ethical practice in response to“pack multiplicities.”

Key words: Dahlia Ravikovitch, Hebrew poetry, Gilles Deleuze, minor literature, poetic becoming
