Assemblage Theory

Group: 3 #group-3

Relations

  • Multiplicity: Emphasizes multiplicity over unity and singularity
  • Schizoanalysis: It is connected to Deleuze and Guattari’s assemblage theory, which focuses on the dynamic relationships between elements.
  • Schizoanalytic Cartographies: Schizoanalytic Cartographies are informed by assemblage theory
  • Object-Oriented Ontology: Object-Oriented Ontology shares with Assemblage Theory a focus on the agency of non-human entities.
  • Agencement: Refers to the dynamic processes of arranging and rearranging components
  • Lines of Flight: Refers to the potential for assemblages to undergo transformations and escape fixed identities
  • Deterritorialization: Describes the process of destabilizing and reconfiguring assemblages
  • Multiplicity: Assemblage Theory emphasizes multiplicities over unities, focusing on heterogeneous components.
  • Territorialization: Describes the processes of establishing and maintaining territories within assemblages
  • Relational Ontology: Assemblage Theory emphasizes the relational nature of entities, resonating with relational ontologies.
  • Becoming: Assemblages are in a constant state of becoming, rather than being fixed entities.
  • Speculative Realism: Speculative Realism and Assemblage Theory both reject correlationism and anthropocentrism.
  • Rhizome: Conceptualizes assemblages as rhizomatic, non-hierarchical networks
  • Immanence: Assemblage Theory rejects transcendental principles, focusing on immanent relations within assemblages.
  • Félix Guattari: Contributed to the development of assemblage theory
  • Schizoanalysis: Proposes a method for analyzing and mapping the flows and connections within assemblages
  • Vibrant Matter: Jane Bennett’s concept of vibrant matter resonates with Assemblage Theory’s view of matter as active and self-organizing.
  • Nomadology: Nomadology is a mode of thought that embraces the fluidity and movement of assemblages.
  • Rhizome: The rhizome is a central metaphor in Assemblage Theory, describing non-hierarchical, decentralized networks.
  • Flat Ontology: Assemblage Theory’s rejection of hierarchies aligns with the flat ontologies proposed by some speculative realists.
  • Becoming: Focuses on processes of change and transformation rather than fixed states
  • Schizoanalysis: Schizoanalysis is related to assemblage theory, which is a way of understanding the world as a dynamic and constantly changing assemblage of heterogeneous elements.
  • Strata and Destratification: Analyzes the processes of stratification and destratification within assemblages
  • Plane of Immanence: Describes the field of immanence where assemblages emerge and interact
  • New Materialism: New Materialism shares with Assemblage Theory a focus on the agency and vitality of matter.
  • Actor-Network Theory: Both Assemblage Theory and Actor-Network Theory emphasize the relational nature of entities.
  • Micropolitics: Emphasizes the political dimensions of assemblages and their potential for resistance and change
  • Agencement: Agencement is a French term used by Deleuze and Guattari to describe the dynamic processes of assemblages.
  • Posthumanism: Assemblage Theory challenges human-centric perspectives, aligning with posthumanist thought.
  • Haecceity: Emphasizes the unique and singular qualities of assemblages
  • Complexity Theory: Assemblage Theory shares with Complexity Theory an interest in emergent, self-organizing systems.
  • Deleuze and Guattari: Developed by the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari
  • Machinic Assemblage: Refers to assemblages that involve both human and non-human components
  • Affect: Emphasizes the role of affects and intensities in assemblages
  • Nomadology: Develops a nomadic thought that challenges fixed identities and territories
  • Deleuze and Guattari: Assemblage Theory is a key concept developed by Deleuze and Guattari in their works.
  • Desire: Conceptualizes desire as a productive force that shapes assemblages
  • Immanence: Rejects transcendence and emphasizes immanent relations within assemblages
  • Emergence: Emergence is a key concept in Assemblage Theory, describing the unpredictable effects that arise from assemblages.
  • Affect Theory: Affect Theory explores the pre-cognitive forces and intensities that circulate within assemblages.
  • Body without Organs: Conceptualizes a body without fixed organization or hierarchy
  • Deterritorialization: Deterritorialization refers to the breaking down of boundaries and destabilizing of identities within assemblages.
