    By far the clearest explanation of the concept I've encountered... and I still can't make heads or tails of it (I guess that's the point)

      I feel like it's actually a super easy concept and you might be overthinking it.. at least it always has been to me. A rhizome is a structure without a center or base. Think about decentralized, non-hierarchical, nonlinear, complex systems.

    narrator: "Which makes us think of the rhizome as a map, something that's always open and can be entered at any point. Think about it-"
    me: "okay?????????"
    narrator: "-is there really a starting point to reading a map?"
    me: "oh shit...."

TH-cam can add them somewhat automatically. They're flawed, but it's a start. Or you could add them manually or add a transcript in the description section. Thanks!

    Had no clue what this gal's up to. Rhizome is NOT a theory. But once you read the original text, it's a simple analogy. Rhizomes (eg, ginger plants) have roots and shoots spread out with no central root or trunk. So is the structure of D&G's explanation.

    Lateral thinking -- to me that about sums it up. Not that it should be summed up with two words, but if I had to explain the Rhizome concept to someone with no knowledge of D&G, that's how I'd begin. I'd also point them in the direction of Bruno Latour's books 'We Have Never Been Modern' and Reassembling the Social'. These book pursue a similar line of thought to'A Thousand Plateaus', but the writing is clear and succinct. As for D&G being 'postmodern' (as per the comments below), that's not a term I'd use to describe them. They're really materialists and have more in common with someone like Marx than Lyotard'. Rhizome is one way of approaching materialism.

    It is impossible to think or even to see without employing heirarchy. If you look at a face and do not see some features over others, you won't see the face.

    • @FictionalTruth1
      @FictionalTruth1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      "The head is included in the body, but the face is not. The face is a surface: facial traits, lines, wrinkles; long face, square face, triangular face; the face is a map, even when it is applied to and wraps a volume, even when it surrounds and borders cavities that are now no more than holes. The head, even the human head, is not necessarily a face. The face is produced only when the head ceases to be a part of the body, when it ceases to be coded by the body, when it ceases to have a multidimensional, polyvocal corporeal code-when the body, head included, has been decoded and has to be overcoded'by something we shall call the Face. This amounts to saying that the head, all the volume-cavity elements of the head, have to be facialized. What accomplishes this is the screen with holes, the white wall/black hole, the abstract machine producing faciality. But the operation does not end there: if the head and its elements are facialized, the entire body also can be facialized, comes to be facialized as part of an inevi- table process. When the mouth and nose, but first the eyes, become a holey surface, all the other volumes and cavities of the body follow. An operation worthy of Doctor Moreau: horrible and magnificent. Hand, breast, stomach, penis and vagina, thigh, leg and foot, all come to be facialized. Fetishism, erotomania, etc., are inseparable from these processes of facialization. It is not at all a question of taking a part of the body and making it resemble a face, or making a dream-face dance in a cloud. No anthropomorphism here. Facialization operates not by resemblance but by an order of reasons. It is a much more unconscious and machinic operation that draws the entire body across the holey surface, and in which the role of the face is not as a model or image, but as an overcoding of all of the decoded parts. Everything remains sexual; there is no sublimation, but there are new coordinates. It is precisely because the face depends on an abstract machine that it is not content to cover the head, but touches all other parts of the body, and even, if necessary, other objects without resemblance. The question then becomes what circumstances trigger the machine that produces the face and facialization."

    With regard to the bag of marbles: isn’t it the case that adding or subtracting marbles would also feel different (I.e. its weight) in a similar way to the explanation about temperature? Maybe I’ve misunderstood. Is the multiplicity a perspective on a thing, or is it an aspect of said thing?

    It might be appropriate to note that a rhizome is an underground stem of a plant that can regenerate from nodes on the rhizome and is responsible for the spread of the species. This is not a new word or concept. Also, crabgrass does not have rhizomes, but quackgrass does. Your usage of the term "rhizome" seems reasonable, though.

    Hi everyone, this video is great and I have (automatically) transcripted it to citate it.
    I leave u all the transcription below. I know there are several mistakes but you can easily correct them (first of all interaction with intra-actions, the web speech api cannot understand the pronounce difference)
    I think interaction term that comes to us from feminist physicist Karen barad describes interaction as a mutual Constitution of an takeaway agencies and what agency again simply we can understand agency as the ability to act so in other words interactive the meaning of people and things and other stuff ability to act sounds like interaction that doesn't it well it's breakdown the difference first let's look at the prefixes inter and intra inter means among or in the midst of where is intra means within will be at the word action to these prefixes we had a whole different meaning when two bodies interact the age rating of level of independence each entity exist before the account or one and other however when bodies interact they do so and Koch institute of ways individuals materialize through interaction and the ability that emerges from within the relationship not outside of it so why is this distinction important well interaction gives us a whole new way of thinking about a relationship with each other with matter with materials with nature and with discourses when these different things are in relationships with each other our ability to do stuff changes transforms or emerges take the reasonable or phenomenon as an example we can see the above phenomenon is not just the virus itself but is an interaction of the actual virus with human and non-human actors including human bodies discourses on Africa pandemics the Royal politics political pundits news channels in fear is not just a virus but a phenomenon that made in unmade through interactions between nature culture and technology through interaction we are all brought together into the above phenomenon and yet this interaction separated into new Coke and Stitch with its subject through interactions we become at least temporarily the afflicted none of which of the Opera not at risk and the exposed and unexposed studying these interactions reveals differences get made and unmade it's unlikely that many of us will interact with ebola virus but we will all interact with you both phenomenon and therefore we are all responsible for the matter produced in these interactions the discourses the materials and the subject positions interactions deferring deflect responsibility but in interactions responsibility is distributed among the constituent of entities this is where agency comes in the play agency is about action reconfiguring doing and being it is not exist separately but and burgers in the relationship in these interactions thinking with interaction means giving a cause-and-effect relationships individual agency and subject object I can't we gain new understandings of ethics and justice as not things at a predetermined but always changing and unfolding interaction all the questions said that boundaries and borders in linear time and in term it helps us think in terms of simultaneity it tears down the walls that contains disciplined thought and action to reveal the artificial boundaries we forgot we invented

    I get it, kind of I guess, but I have no idea how I would ever apply this practically. Seems utterly stupid and impractical. Why would I ever stop and go "but what if I applied some rhizomatic thought here?" No, we just think how we think, and that's something that has developed over millions of years of evolution. I can't just decide to apply some "rhizomatic" bullshit and expect it to do anything other than get me stuck in a quagmire of confusion by tripping on my own thinking. If it means "thinking from multiple angles" or whatever, then that's something people already do.
