Communications & Society: Jenny, Rhizomatic Learners, and #rhizo14 - 0 views

  • The rhizomatic learner, on the other hand, is for me a metaphor which expands our understanding of one thing (the process of learning) in the light of another thing (a botanical rhizome). The metaphor learning is a rhizome is similar, then, to the metaphor love is a rose.

The Beginner's Guide to Deleuze | HTMLGIANT - 1 views

  • For Nietzsche, Deleuze, and myself, direct engagement is a mistake.  Diffuse or indirect engagement is preferable
  • The only form of power one can truly wield is the power of action, of affirmation, of creation.

  • The rhizome metaphor, which represents a critical leap in coping with the loss of a canon against which to compare, judge, and value knowledge, may be particularly apt as a model for disciplines on the bleeding edge where the canon is fluid and knowledge is a moving target.
  • clear definition of the word "knowledge" is difficult
  • simply another part of the way things are"

do you know networks? on leaving the Garden of Eden | the theoryblog - 0 views

  •  I like doubters, complications, ideas that break down assumptions and build toward further questions, not answers.
  • the Tree of Knowledge is not an apple, in my belief systems. It is a weed.
  •  To ask how it has come to be that participatory networked practices are more likely to be framed as threats than opportunities for education in the 21st century.

  •  Things written in print are either finished or not. They do not blend into each other; they do not create webs. They create canons, privileging some over others and erasing the steps of their logic so as to make it all appear natural.
  • But…and this is important…it was the free exchange of ideas and communications we valorized in that Enlightenment ideal. Not actually the small yet increasingly commodified paper packet. Yet we conflated the two. And in the process, we allowed the grammar of schooling to reinforce a Romantic identification of books, in particular, with all things noble about humanity.

Rhizomatic Learning - A Pedagogy of Risk | Jenny Connected - 0 views

  • Mention of safety in relation to online space raises for me the link between space and risk.  With space comes risk and with risk comes ethical responsibility. I would suggest that the more open the space, the greater the risk for both learner and ‘teacher’, and the greater the ethical responsibilities of all participants, but particularly the ‘teacher’.
  • the ‘virtue of space’ as being freedom, but with this freedom comes a number of risks. He recognises that a common response to these risks in an educational setting is to close down the space, rationalising this as being in the students’ best interests – but as he points out ‘No risk, no space’ – and space is needed if the students/learners are going to become ‘authentically themselves’.

  • Let a thousand weeds bloom.

      People forget that this phrase has some of its origins in Mao's expression, "Let a hundred flowers bloom" and that it was piece of disinformation.  Speak the truth, Mao implied, and the truth shall set you free.  The real truth is that if anyone spoke the truth they were revealed as heterodox, as dissident.   Or maybe this is all about marijuana de-criminalizaton?

      All this talk of flowers and weeds and thousands reminescent (flourescent even) of 'a thousand plateaus', an idea that transcends 'rhizome' in D&G Great video on D&G, pomo and  Zizek.  Thinking about taking the whole course, sticking it on Vialogues and having a conversation with myself and others.  Sometimes you have to break through the thousand flowers, the thousand gardens, the thousand weeds, and the thousand shining suns to get through to a new plateau.
