Abstract
The article considers the concept of «rhizome» of G. Deleuze and F. Guattari. The author outlines the «tree-like structure» problem, the reaction to which «rhizome» became, carries out the analysis of «tree» and «rhizome». The author traces the origins of «rhizome», sequentially analyzes and comments on the principles of «rhizome». Then «rhizome» is transferred from the ontological field to the literary field and illustrated with the example of the novel «Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas» by Hunter S. Thompson. Special attention is paid to the prospects of the notion of subject in the context of rhizomaticity.
