Rhizome
In Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy, a rhizome refers to a non-hierarchical structure that emphasizes multiplicity and connection without a central point of origin.
Deterritorialization
Deterritorialization refers to the process of breaking away from the set structures in society, culture, or language, allowing for a flow into unexpected or innovative arrangements.
Reterritorialization
Reterritorialization is the process by which displaced entities, once deterritorialized, become recontextualized and linked into new territories or structures.
Body without Organs (BwO)
The Body without Organs is a concept of a pure potentiality and a field of intensities where standard functions and organizational structures of the body are suspended.
Striated space vs. Smooth space
Striated space refers to structured, bounded, and organized spaces, while smooth space refers to open, fluid, and undefined areas. This contrast exemplifies the dichotomy between confined systems and the freedom of nomadic movement.
Desiring-production
Desiring-production is a concept that combines the forces of desire with the forces of production, challenging the traditional separation between what is psychological and what is socio-economic.
Assemblage
An assemblage is a collection of heterogeneous elements that form a functional whole without losing their individual distinctions, emphasizing fluidity, exchange, and multiple functionalities.
Plane of Consistency
The Plane of Consistency is an abstract concept that describes a space of unlimited connectivity where various lines of flight and intensities are woven together, leading to new formations and creations.
Line of Flight
A line of flight represents a pathway of liberation and change, acting as a trajectory by which rigid structures can be escaped or transformed.
Becoming
Becoming is a concept meant to capture processes of continuous change, transformation, and the emergence of novelty, contrasting with being which is static.
Territory
Territory within Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy represents a space that is emotionally and culturally marked by an individual or a group, significantly related to the concepts of deterritorialization and reterritorialization.
Abstract Machine
The Abstract Machine is a framework for understanding how desires, social systems, and knowledge intersect to create realities, underscored by the processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization.
Multiplicity
Multiplicity refers to a complex structure that does not enfold into a singular unity, but rather comprises many dimensions that function simultaneously without a central or dominating element.
Nomadology
Nomadology is the study of nomadic societies and it's Deleuze and Guattari's metaphor for a type of thinking that resists static organization in favor of fluidity, movement, and change.
War Machine
The War Machine concept goes beyond the military connotation and signifies a force or apparatus that captures the essence of nomadic societies and stands in opposition to the state apparatus, focusing on fluidity and resistance.
Machine
In the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, a machine is not merely a mechanical device, but any system of energy flows, desire, or social production intertwining humans and technologies.
