Deleuze
Rhizome
Definition A non-arborescent a-centered, multiplicity that resists the organizational structure of the root-tree system and that which charts courses along chronological lines and is concerned with the source of things and their conclusion/direction.

Example: The Nomad -- drifts, making connections and breaking connections almost as fast, moving on and on, never settling. It’s a creative process, a de-limiting one that opens up new possibilities that a settled/sedentary person wouldn’t ever know.

Societies of Control
Definition An evolving form of discipline shifting from the enclosed structures of disciplined societies to a sophisticated network of entitled systems.
Is it useful? yes - Useful in considering how control freedom and our orientation to control function in an increasing interconnected technological and surveilled world.
Cautions us the freedoms offered by societies of control may in fact be less freeing than perceived.
Discipline Society: people's bodies and minds are trained to conform under strict methods of control that were predictable and penetrating. This type of organization ensures populations will govern themselves through set of surveillance and resulting punishment for deviant behavior.
With emergence of Neo-liberalism there was a shift: governing of population is not limited to enclosed spaces like a factory… but now freed up to operate in open systems and networks.

Practical Example: Smart Phones are freeing because they provide access to new information, but it comes with surveillance and sharing of our location. Phones are always collecting and sharing data based on our actions and interactions with the technology.

Territory
Relationship between a territory and what a territory allows a body to do.
D+G are always looking at what a body can do.
When a space is deterritorialized the codes that determine what a body may do in this space are thrown out...
The territory's ordering of bodies becomes unstable. Enters a mix of chaotic movements, confused, indiscernible patterns
-
When space is RE--territorialized bodies find a new ordering. They are recoded and given a new order of what is possible and what is sensible.
EXAMPLE: Flows of capital deterritorialize a landscape by stripping away (de-coding) the local sense of value and social relations.
Then.
Flows of capital reterritorialize the landscape onto the new organizing of capital flows; recoding the local culture onto it's nihilistic value system.
EXAMPLE: Capitalism shows us we can desire outside of our established/given societal arrangements, and onto ones that do not yet exist.
BUT. Capital stops us short of desiring what is possible: the deading ologic of money over-codes a society.
HOWEVER decoding power of capitalism shows possible escapes. It is our task to decode capitalism and reterritorialize a new earth.

Focus is on invention, on the new, on the creation of concepts. It is not important that past philosophers were right or wrong. Rather that past philosophers were able to invent new ways of conceiving time and being. New ways of distributing, classifying, and understanding phenomena.
In Everyday Life...
Action: Affirmative, always met with reaction. But reaction is always negated and, ultimately useless.
-
Let Go of the Rope The only form of power one can truly wield is one of action and of affirmation–of creation.
Flow
Physical flow of materiality or flow of ideas... everything takes a shape becoming formed. Machines in process of deterritorialization/reterritorialization work upon flows.
Side Note: Adhocracy
A flexible, adaptable and informal form of organization that is defined by a lack of formal structure.
