Abstract

ABSTRACT Considering that the theoretical contributions that support knowledge organization systems usually rely on perspectives that consolidate structuralist approaches, to control and formalize knowledge representations, we elaborate in this article a possible opening for a knowledge organization and representation based on the concepts of becoming and rhizome developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Based on the idea of contemporaneity by Giorgio Agamben, we seek to value the power of the becoming and the intempestivity of rhizomes in favor of a less predictable and deterministic knowledge organization. Supported by an exercise of theoretical reflection, we conclude in favor of rhizomes as opposed to systems already known and/or practiced in knowledge organization field.

Keywords: Knowledge Organization; Knowledge Representation; Rhizome; Becoming; Knowledge Organization System.
