Abstracts by November 15th, 2003. Papers by January 15th, 2004

We at Rhizomes oppose the idea that knowledge must grow in a tree =
structure from previously accepted ideas. New thinking need not follow =
established patterns.

Rhizomes promotes experimental work located outside current disciplines, =
work that has no proper location. As our name suggests, works written in =
the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required.

We are not interested in publishing texts that establish their authority =
merely by affirming what is already believed. Instead, we encourage =
migrations into new conceptual territories resulting from unpredictable =
juxtapositions.
