Key Claims
Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari introduced the Rhizome as a model of thought operating by variation, expansion, and capture rather than hierarchical reproduction. Operating via lines of flight and deterritorialization, rhizomatic assemblages continuously connect heterogeneous flows without fixed origins or binary axes.
