| Abstract |
|
In the work of Gilles Deleuze and FélixGuattari, assemblage(agence-ment) carries connotations of connection, event, transformation, and be-coming. For those who privilege desire, affect, and transversal energies over cognition, it would seem unlikely to define assemblages as cognitive; however, the broader definition of cognition I employ brings my argument somewhat closer to theirs (although significant differences remain). I want to define cognition as a process of interpreting information in contexts that connect it with meaning. This view foregrounds interpretation, choice, and decision and highlights the special properties that cognition bestows, expanding the traditional view of cognition as human thought to processes occurring at multiple levels and sites within biological life forms and technical systems. Cognitive assemblage emphasizes cognition as the common element among parts and as the functionality by which parts connect.
