In analogy to Harun Farocki’s definition of the ›operative image‹ and its relation to Roland Barthes’ Mythologies, the article first develops the definition of the ›operative text‹ as a type of text that is not dependent on authorial functions or fictions but on purely technical circumstances of production. This definition is then examined and further elaborated using the example of the minutes or »Protokolle «, in particular by comparing Erika Runge’s Bottroper Protokolle and Kathrin Röggla’s novel wir schlafen nicht. The protocol and ›operating texts‹ thus becomerecognizable asanon-human small form in whichanon-literary alteritarian aesthetic and a technical regulation of its understanding are at work.
