Abstract

The fable of Hoodwinked is analysed with deleuzian category of rhizoma in order to overcome the polarization between work and reception, polarization respectively represented by the works of Leo Vygotsky and Hans Robert Jauss, authors well known in subject fields as Education and Literature. Rhizome is one of the most popular concepts of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and refers to connections where multiple ideas, processes and things are assemblaged. We understand the fable as rhizome because it shows a multiplicity of different versions of the traditional story of Little Red Riding Hood. But more than that, we call it a rhizome because the story ends with the characters entering in new assemblages, letting us know so many other stories of Little Red Riding Hood that could be told, beyond those we already know. The categories of post-modernity as trade mark, information, identities and intertextuality are analyzed.
