“…Deleuze’s lineage does indeed unfold through a rich array of encounters – scientific and artistic, as well as philosophical. This hallmark of Deleuze’s philosophy has led some commentators to describe his thought process as ‘one which unfolds internal to an examination of the thought of others’ (Jones and Roffe, 2009: 3). For Abrahamsson, however, the uptake of these distinct trajectories via Deleuze’s philosophy ‘is characterised by a lack of historical and geographical context’, which, he argues, has generated ‘a lacunae relating to the ethical and political consequences that come with translating vitalist thought into political thought’ (2013: 38).…”

Human geography has seen a vitalist renaissance over the past decade; however, geography’s concerns are mounting in relation to vitalism’s critical efficacy and political relevance. This article pushes back against these concerns. Drawing on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, we engage with vitalism as a critical pause and consequently as a vital aspiration in an intellectual climate that is growing increasingly enamoured of negativity as the barometer of serious thinking. In sum, we show how Deleuze’s ‘non-organic vitalism’ promotes a wilder sense of thinking and a more affirmative politics, without acquiescing to the problems of the present.

“…A summary of other criticisms of Deleuse and Guattari's particular philosophical stance is given by by Smith and Protevi (2008). Their thought is in the tradition of Husserl and Bergson, though drawing from many antecedents ( Jones and Roffe, 2009), and has a close affinity with the ideas of Foucault and of Derrida (Marks, 1998;Patton, 1996;Smith and Protevi, 2008).…”

Citation: Robinson, L. & Maguire, M. (2010). The rhizome and the tree: changing metaphors for information organisation. Journal of Documentation, 66(4), pp. 604-613. doi: 10.1108/00220411011052975 This is the draft version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent Methodology Critical review of selected literature FindingsThe rhizome concept is a promising model for understanding hyperlinked information services. It may be of practical value, particularly if it can be integrated with more traditional forms of information organisation. More research, conceptual and practical, is needed before this can be achieved. Research limitationsThe literature review is not comprehensive, and the conclusions are open-ended. Originality/valueThis is the only paper to review the rhizome concept in this way.

“…1 The book constructs a stunning array of concepts to redescribe political time ('the geology of morals'), political space ('smooth' and 'striated', 'territory', 'earth' and 'the Natal'), political bodies ('assemblages', 'rhizomes', 'bodies without organs', 'multiplicities', 'apparatuses of capture' and 'war machines') and political energy ('macro-and micropolitics'). On the one hand, the book displays Deleuze's apprenticeship in the history of philosophy, with concepts recast from Hume, Kant, Leibniz, Bergson, Nietzsche and others (Jones and Roffe 2009). On the other, Deleuze presents a singular vision that seems to accomplish the mission he assigned transcendental philosophy in Difference and Repetition: to explore the upper and lower reaches of this world, that is, the mysterious factors that influence politics but that elude traditional categories of political science (Deleuze 1994: 135).…”

Entering Deleuze's Political Vision

How can Deleuzians make his philosophy as accessible as possible to political theorists and democratic publics? This essay provides principles to enter Deleuze's political vision, namely, to research the etymology of words, to discover the image beneath concepts, to diagram schemata using rigid lines, supple lines and lines of flight, and to construct rules that balance experimentation and caution. The essay then employs this method to explicate a fecund sentence about politics in A Thousand Plateaus and presents a case why Deleuze deserves greater visibility in the political theory canon.
