In A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Deleuze and Guattari draw from dynamical systems theory, which explores the way material systems self-organize, and extend the theory to include social, linguistic, and philosophical systems in order to create assemblage theory. [9] In assemblage theory, assemblages (or relationships) are ...
[1] [2] [3] It is a central concept in the work of French Theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, who use the term frequently in their development of Schizoanalysis. Deleuze and Guattari use the terms "rhizome" and "rhizomatic" (from Ancient Greek ῥίζωμα, rhízōma, "mass of roots") to describe a network that "connects any point to ...
