What is an assemblage? What is a rhizome? What is a war machine? What is a body without organs? What is becoming-animal? Brent Adkins demonstrates that all the questions raised by \u003cem\u003eA Thousand Plateaus\u003c\/em\u003e are in service to Deleuze and Guattari''s radical reconstruction of the methods and aims of philosophy itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve this he argues that the crucial term for understanding \u003cem\u003eA Thousand Plateaus\u003c\/em\u003e is ''assemblage.'' An assemblage is Deleuze and Guattari''s answer to the perennial philosophical question, What is a thing? and they assert that assemblages are always found on a continuum between stasis and change. Each plateau is therefore concerned with a particular type of assemblage (e.g. social, political, linguistic) and its tendencies toward both stasis and change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments; Introduction: A Perceptual Semiotics; 1.
