Subject: Rhizome and geneology


Deleuze and Guatarri refer to the rhizome as being an "anti-geneology".  I
can understand that application to the geneological tree, such as a family
tree, but would that therefore also extend to foucauldian geneology?  If so,
is a criticism rooted in history and power relations possible in a
rhizomatic world?
