Authro Noté's Author's Note: A Thousand Plateaus A.N.::Noté,Authro::3/8::AThousandPlateaus |
|
The rhizomatic structure of the MMHTT project is heavily influenced by the book A Thousand Plateaus.
A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia was written by Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, published in 1980. This book, which features much of the foundations of their philosophical metaphysics, is structured in an experimental way: it is structured like a rhizome.
In A Thousand Plateaus, D&G introduce many of their most famous concepts: body without organs, deterritorialization, the plane of immanence, performativity of language, and especially the rhizome. In this work, not only do D&G write about the rhizome, they structure their book to operate like a rhizome: every chapter is a "plateau" and every plateau is interchangeable with every other plateau. One may read A Thousand Plateaus sequentially, but also readers may bounce from section to section in whichever order they see fit. The book does not build a vertical knowledge structure in the way that most works of metaphysics do, the book builds horizontally outward, rhizomatically. —Authro Noté
