Rhizome Chapter - Thousand Plateaus
Submitted by admin on Sun, 06/10/2007 - 12:34Overview
This is, in a sense, the foundational essay on Rhizomatics. It is the introductory chapter to TP and provides the framework for further discussion. Critical here to realize that the book comes from 1987, and therefore does not represent, in any way, a reaction to the internet. I'll be looking at it from that perspective to some degree, but the real intention is to think about how the internet provides a vehicle for something that is more far reaching and fundamental.

This is another attempt at showing what a rhizomatic build would look like. It fits in with an article I’m currently writing and a discussion paper that is dying in the draft section of this blog. I’m looking for feedback on this, so I do hope some of you will take the five minutes to listen to it and then comment. If your comment is “I have no idea what you’re talking about” that’s fine too. I’m just trying to find a more dynamic way of talking about something that is always changing. This will also appear as a ‘resource’ on the article that should be published in June… Link to the excellent folks at screencast.com One more thing… There are two websites I’m trying to do this on right now… http://davecormier.com/ukan http://openhabitat.org/
Rhizomes are...

Unlike the graphic arts, drawing or photography, unlike tracings, the rhizome pertains to a map that must be produced, constructed, a map that is always detachable, connectable, reversilble, modifiable, and has multiple entryways and exits and its own lines of flight." p. 21 TP

Every rhiozme contain lines of segmentarity according to which it is stratified, territorialized, organized, signified attributed., as well as lines of deterritorialization down which it constantly flees." p. 9 TP

Rhizome conclusion
Submitted by admin on Sun, 06/10/2007 - 13:30"A rhizome has no beginning or end; it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhizome is alliance, uniquely alliance. The tree imposes the verb "to be," but the fabric of the rhizome is the conjunction, "and... and.. and..." p. 25 TP
