deleuze and guattari:
"The rhizome is an antigenealogy. It is a short-term memory, or antimemory. The rhizome operates by variation, expansion, conquest, capture, offshoots. Unlike the graphic arts, drawing or photography, unlike tracings, the rhizome pertains to a map that must be produced, constructed, a map that is always detachable, connectable, reversilble, modifiable, and has multiple entryways and exits and its own lines of flight." p. 21 (Thousand Plateaus)
"Any point of a rhizome can be connected to anything other, and must be." p. 7 TP
"A rhizome may be broken, shattered at a given spot, but it will start up again on one of its old lines, or on new lines... Every rhiozme contain lines of segmentarity according to which it is stratified, territorialized, organized, signified attributed., as well as lines of deterritorialization down which it constantly flees." p. 9 TP
"A rhizome has no beginning or end; it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhizome is alliance, uniquely alliance. The tree imposes the verb "to be," but the fabric of the rhizome is the conjunction, "and... and.. and..." p. 25 TP
"A rhizome ceaselessly establishes connections between semiotic chains, organizations of power, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences and social struggles" p. 7 TP
