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.
