I enjoyed this article, in spite of myself. Giorgio Bertini summarizes it as follows: "The author proposes a new concept, rhizoactivity, to navigate multiplicity of learning in a postmodern world. Anticipated benefits of employing rhizoactivity in understanding learning are discussed in terms of postmodern and lifelong learning conditions." I would quote at length from the actual article, but it's posted in a user-hostile Flash format. But the author, Dae Joong Kang, says rhizoactivity involves a series of decision-making that includes emotion, spirituality, intuition and bodily feeling as well as rationality. I think there's a point in there, but it's surrounded with a lot of unconvincing metaphors and argumentation. Exploration (which is hintend at with a rough rhizome as map analogy) is not a series of decisions, it is a series of inferences (at least, that's what my experience has been).
