This chapter is an attempt to explore how Deleuze’s geophilosophy might be put to work methodologically. Geophilosophy is for Deleuze and Guattari (1984, 1987) an attention to the connections between ...different things that come to constitute an assemblage. It is a kind of cartography that takes place on a plane of immanence, as connections are made and re-made horizontally, immanently, rather than (only) as a result of vertical hierarchies. As such, assemblages are diverse and multiple – ‘the synthesis of heterogeneities as such’ (Deleuze and Guattari 1987: 330) – and machinic – connections are made between human and nonhuman things.
