Preferred term

deterritorialization  

Definition

  • Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari have given the term deterritorialization the significant political-philosophical importance it has today. They used it to indicate the fracturing of and freeing from repressive fixations and despotic arrangements of a certain milieu, be it conceptual, social, affective or linguistic.
