Title: As the tree greens: Deleuze's form-event assemblage and Chinese ideograms in a biosemiotic ecosystem

Abstract: This paper takes Deleuze’s idea ‘to green’ as a qualitative predicate which becomes a rhizomatic event where Jesper Hoffmeyer’s ‘plant being’ contemplates through waves and rhythms (refrains), hence affects and percepts. The article then brings forward an intertwined group of Chinese ideograms which are designed with plant-radicals, making up an ecosystem towards the establishment of a new Chinese ecocriticism under the banner of biosemiotics. Such an effort will, hopefully, widen the scope and dimension of the new field of environmental humanities, with an emphasis on the scenario of affective attuning to the agency of vegetal life. The main purpose is to put Deleuze and Guattari’s form-event assemblage within the stratification of regimes of signs in A Thousand Plateaus, in order to establish a ‘natureculture’ continuity not only between science and art, but also between a Western rethinking of language/culture and a Chinese ecosystem/ecocriticism.
