Abstract
Patricia O'Riley's 'Technology, culture and socioeconomics' is a "becoming" in Deleuze and Guattari's (1980/1987) sense. Deleuze and Guattari's notion of "becoming" is a radical theorization of the politics of thought that provides a tactical means of disrupting the status quo by opening up spaces to think differently and to exist differently in (the) world. Thus, becoming is an ethico-political (ad)venture that can contribute to the critical utopianism of education. Indeed, Colebrook (2000) argued that "any movement of utopianism or politics of the future is best perhaps thought of through a Deleuzian notion of becoming" (p. 17).
