ABSTRACT
Think for a moment of the conceptions the medieval mind had with Biblical stories. Seen as something that could happen in everyday life, the stretch in imagining their personal sense of self within that logic of an earlier time would have been a relatively easy imaginative move. L. Schiebinger argues in an imaginative way that not only peoples were subjected to colonizing practices, but also Western European collective visions of the natural world, and plants specifically. The dead world tried to model and create behavior through social conditioning, discipline and force, much like the ways those bodies considered mad were treated in Western Europe. European peasants inhabited a strange place: “Economically they are everything, and politically, nothing”. F. Guattari, by imagining explosions and multiplicities, was trying to bring forth a new kind of rhizome, one that understood the potentials found within an emerging multiplicity.
