Deleuze and Guattari and Creativity

To examine how Deleuze and Guattari draw emphasis to the constructed and contingent nature of social reality.

• To contrst their model of creatove, 'rhizomatic' thought with traditional 'tree-like' models of thought based in sequential argumentation;
• To examine Deleuze an Guattari's interpretations of precesses of social change and development;
• To consider how they propose individual people might transform themselves;
• To contextualise these theories of change and development in relation to the concepts 'the virtual' and 'the actual'.

Rethinking social change- change can be on-going. People felt society was going to change.

Tree. Revolt against traditional modes of thought- tree like structure. The trunk being the central thesis and the branches being all individual after thoughts.

Alternative structure of thought- play and creativity. Rhizomatic thought. The virtual and the actual. The chapters don't build on one another and come together- you should dip into one chapter, then another- building a thought.
