Rethinking Learning Networks ― Collaborative Possibilities for a Deleuzian Century

Drawing on her research into the formation and operation of a local learning and employment network in Geelong, Australia, Kamp proposes new approaches to analyzing networks and collaborative activities. She covers the line of flight; joining-up and the monstrous cosmos; a travel book for a network explorer; policy, paradigms, puzzle-solving, and potential; lessons from the small world; rethinking networks: the tenuous nature of social capital; linking in the space of flows; being monstrous: pragmatic guidelines to release potential; and touching the plane of consistency.
