arborescent approach to critical analysis. The characteristics of the rhizome will provide the overarching structure for this essay. Firstly rhizomes can map in any direction from any starting point. This will guide the study of significant motifs in ‘The Waste Land.’ Secondly they grow and spread, via experimentation within a context. This will be reflected in the study of the voice and the language with which the poem opens. Thirdly rhizomes grow and spread regardless of breakage. This will allow for an
Hypertext as a Rhizome Hypertext is an innovative writing form that has been applied to many different facets of the internet. It provides flexibility for both authors and readers because of the way ideas are linked to one another. One of the most experimental forms is the hypertext novel. Until recently, readers were limited to only linear text. The introduction of hypertext allows for non-linear forms of text, which allow readers to move from one point in the text to another simply by clicking
When referring to labyrinths, Kolter states that there are usually three types that are widely considered: The unicursal maze, the multicursal or mannerist maze, and the rhizome or network maze. The first type poses no challenge to the individual traversing its pathways because it consists of a single pathway that leads to a centre and then further on to an exit. The second type creates more of a challenge as it is made up of numerous pathways, many of which lead to dead ends, but there is only one
The Rhizome A significant work in theology used to address one of the many concepts it encompasses, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Deleuze and Guattari focuses on the idea of the Rhizome. Throughout the writing, the authors demonstrate a disapproval of the idea that identity can be finalized or “fixed” and use the concept of the rhizome to describe a person’s continual “becoming”. Unlike syncretism, another concept commonly used to help evaluate identity, the rhizome is much
shoots, are produced from an extensive rhizome system. Simply, rhizomes are modified stems, usually growing underground (Fig. 1). The rhizomes cause the "clump habit" of growth exhibited by the bamboos. "Clump habit" refers to the culms growing in close proximity to each other, such as a "tuft of grass", so to speak. There are basically two types of rhizomes'. pachymorph and leptomorph. Most species exhibit both, to a greater or lesser degree. Pachymorph rhizomes are very compact. They are associated
Rhizome, is a term borrowed from botanics, to represent a different structural fabric that rejects linearity and has no beginning or an end. The philosopher Delueze writes in A Thousand Plateaus, of the rhizome, that it is “… always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo.” p. 25 In other words, the rhizome has no known origin or resolution, it is between things, grows on offshoots in no clear direction. Delueze notably used the theory of the rhizome, in social sciences
contrast the body acts on herb resulting in the restorative, curative and yet passive influences of herbal medicine. The rhizomes of Sansevieria roxburghiana is reported to possess anticancer activity18,20. So far there is no bioactivity guided fractionation studies on anticancer activity of rhizomes of Sansevieria roxburghiana. Therefore, a detailed investigation of the rhizome of Sansevieria roxburghiana is needed to establish scientific data on the anticancer potential using various cell lines
The Incredibly Usable Cattail Is it possible that cattails were the reeds in which baby Moses was hidden? Their range does include nearly all the continents. And even though cattails are wide ranging, commonly known plants, few know of their versatility. Nearly the entire plant can be eaten, excluding the leaves. Cattails were used many different ways medicinally, from a topical ointment to an internal remedy. The plants have also been used in a wide variety of miscellaneous purposes. Mostly,
provide support for the stem and subsequently helps maintain the plant structure. There are also air ducts in the stem to help the plant stay buoyant; this is an important adaptation since C. papyrus grows in wet conditions (1). The roots, which are rhizomes, spread over the water, forming floating mat. These mats can sometimes break apart allowing the plant to colonize new areas in rivers and lakes. This can sometimes cause problems for shipping vessel (1). The leaves of the paper plant are long
fast growth time for shoots and new culms, so there is a need for a vast amount of water in this period. In the Moso bamboo central distribution zone, rain season, the time of shooting and new culm growth coincide. July to September is the time of rhizome growth and shoots bud division. During a drought, few shoot buds will divide and conduct; c hoots will develop in the next spring. The most suitable soil conditions: Over 60cm deep fertile loam; pH = 4.5 to 7.0; moist but not
many cultures of the world, on large and small scales, with much to offer. A herbaceous perennial, the ginger plant is characterized by a large modified underground stem, a rhizome, with an outer layer of a cork-like texture, from which green leafy pseudostem stalks reaching up to 1.2m arise annually. (Kew) In maturity, rhizomes of the plant can range from six to 26 leafy axillary branches. (Ravindran & Babu 2005) The underground stem functions in vegetative propagation and nutrient storage for
college. Second, every parent would want and value this education for their children. Third, this would mean that the opportunity for this education was available to all children and their parents know it. Here I saw a glimpse through a slice of the rhizome that is my sister's mind, where her interpretants for the signs of "opportunity" and "education" are different from mine, and where they lead to different connections than these interpretants do for me.
cryptogam which means a plant that has no true flowers or seeds. With sporangia, a receptacle in which asexual spores are formed evolving from the leaf. Physical characteristics A fern plant generally consists of one or more fronds attached to a rhizome, which is a continuously growing horizontal underground stem. A frond is simply the leaf of the fern. The sizes of ferns and their fronds vary considerably among the different species. The fern frond develops from a leaf bud referred to as a crozier
Due to it orange-yellow color properties in the rhizomes, turmeric create a strong influenced the culture life and food in Southeast Asia region before knowing the health benefit of turmeric (Ravindran et al., 2007, p. 1). In Indonesia ancient civilization, turmeric was used for cosmetic, especially for

The Two-Fold Thought of Deleuze and Guattari: Intersections and Animations Charles J. Stivale, a scholar in French literary and cultural studies, tries to articulate Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical concepts with practical studies on culture, analyzing films, cyberspace, and Cajun dance. Although he says that the goal of the book is to provide "an initial orientation" to Deleuze and Guattari's collaborative works, it is not a simple job at all for those innocent of Deleuzean concepts
2.2 Bracken fern (western bracken) Bracken fern (Pteridium aquiline var. pubescens) are deciduous and grow from brown to black woody rhizomes, forming large often dense patches. The leaves emerge from erect fronds and are pinnately compound, scattered, erect, coarse, narrowly or broadly triangular, to 2 m in height. Fronds (leaves) are pinnules (ultimate segments), entire in the apices of the pinnae, lobed toward the stalk. Reproduction is by spores produced in sporangia lining the under surface

Nymphaeaceae Water Lily Family INTRODUCTION The Nymphaeaceae Family (Water Lily Family) is an aquatic family and is also one of the smaller families in the Plant Kingdom. It belongs in the Nymphaeales Order, which is composed of three families, nine genera, and roughly 74 species. The other two families that are included in the Nymphaeales order are Cambombaceae and Hymphaeaceae. The Nymphaeaceae Family itself only contains six of the nine genera and roughly 60 species. This family is rather small
Hops: Not Just A Beer Ingredient The hop, Humulus lupulus, is a cultivated flowering plant, green in color that has many economically important roles. The hop belongs to the hemp family, Cannabinaceae. There are many features that are distinctive about this plant. A hops plant has yellow lupulin glands between the petals, which is used for preservative and flavoring characteristics in beer. The bitterness of the hop is used to balance the sweetness of the malt, and the essential oils add a flavor
