Nomadic Thought, a concept coined by Deleuze and Guattari, challenges hierarchical modalities of thinking and binary systems of beginning/end, right/wrong, and truth/knowledge. As a means of control, establishing a linear and binary world where perceptions are subsequently limited in scope and possibilities, nomadic thinkers are invited to think broadly, breaking down hierarchy as “they do not reflect upon the world but are immersed in a changing state of things” (Massumi, xii).
