Another metaphor to look at perhaps would be, of course, the Rhizome as described by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus — might be interesting for Geography students… Metaphors and analogies are helpful, but as Harraway said in her seminar at McGill a few weeks ago, they can be big liars (though inevitable ones)… To me, using metaphors in social theory or science is acceptable and useful, as long as one is transparent about the assumptions and presuppositions hiding behind these constructions and their implied conclusions.
