Tonight a provocative statement was posed by Pam Moran (@pammoran) and then responded to by Chad Sansing (@chadsansing) over at Twitter.
Take a look:
So I am thinking about social mapping inside systems and wondering if anyone can point me/us in a direction that might show examples of the thinking that informs the generation of a social map.
I know I have rhizomes on the brain, but I can just about hear Deleuze and Guattari saying something relevant about all this.
Something about maps, tracings, and lines of flight.
Thinking about @chadsansing's tweet. And perhaps it is the presence of lines of flight that signals the collapsed space of hierarchy. Perhaps these are the sparks. Could critical mass of a system collapsing be brought about through the generation of idiosyncratic lines of flight?
A line of flight is a rupture in an established system.
Like the various actions that comprise the 'Occupy Movement'.
"A line of flight is a line of becoming that brings the system to yet another level of complexity by virtue
of the new knowledge, new concepts, new meanings," writes Inna Semetsky*.
So could you map lines of flight: lines that signal becoming?
Has someone done this?
Do not these lines represent the non-linearity of a system?
