Rhizome and post-structuralism

three notes for possible uses in educational research

Abstract

In this essay we bring three notes on Deleuzian philosophy, which elaborate an analysis of epistemological content in order to reflect the possible uses of this theory in the foundation of postgraduate research developed by Grupo Rizoma linked to the Postgraduate Program in education at the Federal University of Paraná. The proposal is to unfold the rhizome, a concept created by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, tracing from these three points a way of orientation in this philosophy of multiplicities. The first note deals with the creation of concepts and methods that form Deleuze's philosophy; the second analyzes the text What can be understood as structuralism? and the third, the elements and principles of the Rhizome, text and concept that was written and created with Félix Guattari. We understand that these three moments make an interesting and necessary path for those who want to make use of the approaches to the philosophy of difference in speculative processes in the field of education.
