The Rhizome A significant work in theology used to address one of the many concepts it encompasses, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Deleuze and Guattari focuses on the idea of the Rhizome. Throughout the writing, the authors demonstrate a disapproval of the idea that identity can be finalized or “fixed” and use the concept of the rhizome to describe a person’s continual “becoming”. Unlike syncretism, another concept commonly used to help evaluate identity, the rhizome is much
dance practices. He considers that science fictions are privileged expression of the different modes of becoming, which evolves "from animal, vegetable, and mineral becomings to becomings of bacteria, viruses, molecules, and things imperceptible" (A Thousand Plateau, 248). Focusing on the process of becoming, he analyzes Rudy's, John Shirley's and William Gibson's fictions. Facing the recurring modes of the loss of the subject and of the intensity of participating in multiple subjectivities, he encounters
In “The Great God Pan” (1894) Machen uses ancient Greek god Pan to serve as a symbol of spiritual reality that lies beyond human perception and knowledge. Machen’s use of this divine entity and his success in rediscovering a minor figure of the classical pantheon, yet “mostly neglected by earlier authors of English literature” (Pasi 69), provide what Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari argue to be the significant value of a minor author, “…by using a number of minority elements, by connecting, conjugating
A Study of Joe Christmas in Light in August Joe Christmas's eating disorder and antipathy to women's sexuality (or to the feminine) in Light in August also can be traced back to the primal scene in the dietitian's room. However, the primal scene is not the final piece of the puzzle in the novel. The primal scene is already given as a working condition for a further analysis of Joe's psychology. Readers are first invited to interrelate the scene and Joe's behavior in the rest of the novel
In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari, to some extent following Gabriel Tarde, famously claim that 'every politics is simultaneously a macropolitics and a micropolitics' (Deleuze & Guattari 1987, 213). This point is, of course, inscribed in their complex philosophical oeuvre, but, in my opinion, several remarks on it would suffice to prove its relevance for the present research. For Deleuze and Guattari, the social nowadays is characterized by two types of segmentation, namely, supple and
Before the arriving of the Europeans, the native people used plants, animals and other resources carefully so that their children and grandchildren would be able to use them as well Caring for these resources was a way of respecting the land and what they had to offer as gifts”(washingtonhistory.com).

During the course of the semester, I covered many topics during this class. These topics consist of; The Great Gatsby, The topic of Rationalism, Romanticism/transcendentalism, The crucible, and Fahrenheit 451.

I chose quotes because of the open-mindedness of quotes. Everyone sees quotes differently, and they have

is a paradigmatic example of postmodern literature because throughout the novel, the themes of dismantling hierarchy, magnifying principles of difference, and the process of transforming and becoming are present. In Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus, the ideas of the rhizomatic and arboresque are introduced to show how society and culture are organized. Their postmodern view of society is also present in The Crying of Lot 49. In the novel, WASTE is shown as an organization that was created
