Ladies and gentlemen, behold the enemy!

The biophilosophies of Gilles Deleuze (and Felix Guattari) get a mixed review in When Species Meet. In the main they interweave and overlap with Haraway's approach and she explicitly acknowledges her indebtedness to them (and others) for providing us with the radical conceptual resources for thinking in terms of assemblages (page 314). A great deal of the theoretical framework outlined in WSM chimes with their amodern, rhizomatic ontology and its disavowal of genes as codes, its emphasis on symbiogenetic involution, rather than linear models of evolution, and its appreciation of the uncertain, promiscuous and 'rambunctious' nature of human-nonhuman becomings.
