		Deterritorialization is a degrounding, a flight transformation, a manoeuvre that has as its result indistinct, blurred and scattered forms.
		The mechanisms of deterritorialization are directed towards depositionings of three main forms: signifiance (grammaticality and the regime of signs), subjectivity (the self, memory and consciousness), and organs (the body and face).
		They are deterritorialized in the sense that they are displaced from collective and real actualities, but also and simultaneously reterritorialized in the sense that the images effect a reconfiguring and reformatting of the body into a mask of specularized, commodified and fetishized signs.

	20th WCP: Immanence and Deterritorialization: The Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari
		Immanence and Deterritorialization: The Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari
		In this sense there are already processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization - as processes of such a (psychological) territory - going on, which designate the status of the relationship within a group or within a psychological individual.
		Processes of deterritorialization are differentiated again by GUATTARI into 'relative' and 'absolute' deterritorializations: whereas relative deterritorializations retain the possibility of reterritorialization, absolute deterritorializations are marked by the impossibility of being territorialized again.

	Cook on Deleuze
		Put simply, deterritorialization is a multiplicitous impulse of flight from both dialectical synthesis and consolidated aggressions of fight that seek the overthrow of perceived monolithic determinates.
		Deterritorialization is a move towards a liberation, but a it is a move without the traditional emancipatory 'grand narratives' (see Lyotard) (these would be stories we tell ourselves that hope to establish freedom for the individual subject, such as Psychoanalysis, Marxism or Christianity).
		Deterritorialization is the marking of that interval, but also something more: it is a 'rhizomic' marking (see Thousand 3-25) that is concerned with the production of ideas, rather than a reduction or interpretation.

		Leading the process of deterritorialization are a few select monies - including, most prominently, the U.S. dollar, the Deutschmark (the DM, now being succeeded by the euro), and the Japanese yen -- which have come to be employed widely outside their country of issue for transactions either between nations or within foreign states.
		Monetary geography today is rapidly harking back to the deterritorialized model that existed prior to the era of territorial currency - "back to the future," as one source (Craig 1996) has quipped, alluding to the popular film of the same name.
		Deterritorialization, however, extends to foreign-domestic use as well, hence involving all currencies, to some degree, in direct competition with one another -- the weak as well as the strong, even those formally protected by exchange controls as well as those that are legally convertible.

	Assembling Minor(ity) Territories within the Flows of Capitalism
		This notion of "deterritorializing machinisms" is central to Deleuze and Guattari's project, and constitutes, in part, their model of the development of the forces and relations of production.
		In short, there are degrees of deterritorialization that quantify the respective forms and according to which contents and expression are conjugated, feed into each other, accelerate each other, or on the contrary become stabilized and perform a reterritorialization.
		If "becoming-minoritarian" is described as a function of deterritorialization, it follows that the "major" is the effect of a stabilising reterritorialization, or of the inhibition of movements of deterritorialization.

	Byron Hawk's CW 98 Paper
		Just as capitalism deterritorializes the unconscious by coding it as schizophrenic, it also tries to reterritorialize it via the medico-juridical institutions which attempt to reinscribe the ideology of individuality.
		This process of deterritorialization and reterritorialization is a co-conspirator with the writing of significations--"the power of film operating through the face of the star and the close up: the power of television" (175).
		Deterritorialization can take the body and place it in a signifying system, facialize it, or can take the body from its facial landscape and allow it a chance for reterritorialization under a new "sign." DandG are not falling prey to a nostalgia for a regression to primitive humanity.

	Globalization
		Deterritorialization and the expansion of interconnectedness are intimately tied to the acceleration of social life, while social acceleration itself takes many different forms (Eriksen, 2001).
		To be sure, the impact of deterritorialization, social interconnectedness, and social acceleration are by no means universal or uniform: migrant workers engaging in traditional forms of low-wage agricultural labor in the fields of southern California, for example, probably operate in a different spatial and temporal context than the Internet entrepreneurs of San Francisco or Seattle.
		But in those areas where deterritorialization and social interconnectedness across national borders are especially striking, new transnational institutions (for example, cross-border referenda), along with a dramatic strengthening and further democratization of existing forms of supranational authority (in particular, the United Nations), are necessary if we are to assure that popular sovereignty remains an effective principle.

	deterritorrialization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Deterritorialization as a political term, originates from Deleuze and Guattari's analysis of "despotic capitalism" and its relation to state authority.
		Deterritorialization, then, refers to all the recoding practices within the socius that appear in reaction to reterritorialization.
		This study invests heavily in the notion of deterritorialization not as a means of supplanting Chicano criticism with French theory but as a means of testing its valence against the new Chicano poetic imagination as witnessed by recent Chicano works.

	Mapping the Postmodern
		This refusal, or breakdown of phallocentric meaning, Deleuze and Guattari term "deterritorialization." They define this process as the schizophrenic tendency of the capitalist mode of production--that tendency that Marx characterised by the ubiquitous phrase "[a]ll that is solid melts into air" (Marx and Engels 1848, 476).
		Deterritorialization is thus the sweeping away of all fixed, fast-frozen relations and meanings, the stripping of halos, and a constant revolutionising of production in a truly psychotic fashion, such that, as Lyotard describes it: "[P]roperly speaking, there are no more signs since there is no more code, no reference to an origin, to a norm.
		They are torn between two poles: the paranoiac despotic sign, the sign-signifier of the despot that they try to revive as a unit of code; and the sign-figure of the schizo as a unit of decoded flux, a schiz, a point-sign or flow-break.

		People are the continual subjects of deterritorialization and reterritorialization as their BwOs are inscribed by the forces of the social.
		Because the relation between a person and her environment is dynamic and challenging, movements of deterritorialization and reterritorialization are commonplace: part of the daily fabric of existence, part of the unfolding and becoming-other character of life and death, health and illness.
		As such, a commitment to deterritorialization and the nomad is intrinsically political, always on the side of freedom, choice and becoming, always opposed to power, territory and the fixing of identity.

		Deterritorialization and governance Most scholarly attention has been paid to the remarkable growth in recent decades of capital mobility, reflected in a scale of international financial flows unequaled since the glory days of the nineteenth-century gold standard.
		Currency deterritorialization poses a critical challenge because governments have long relied upon the advantages derived from formal monetary monopoly to promote their conception of state interest.
		First, while the deterritorialization of currency is clearly imposing growing constraints on traditional forms of monetary governance, it by no means dictates the choices that governments will eventually make.

		It is, however, capitalism's response to this threat -- essentially a re-signification of deterritorialization -- that tends to mask the self-subverting elements of late capitalism.
		The words, themselves, that are used to create this metaphor of deterritorialization within the rhizome act as referents, similar to the color coded signs hung in the Bonaventure lobby, to re-narrate the space.
		As we have seen, however, the rhizome also fails to create deterritorialization and resistance because it exists within and through a language that is infused with the "old" world's meanings, causing it to mimic and, therefore, support capitalism's notion of commodification.

	Benjamin J. Cohen, Electronic Money: New Day or False Dawn?
		Deterritorialization, however, extends to foreign-domestic use as well -- CS as well as CI -- hence involving all national currencies, to some degree, in direct competition with one another, the weak as well as the strong.
		Most common is the prediction that out of growing currency deterritorialization and heightened competition for market leadership will soon emerge two or three large monetary blocs centered on the dollar, euro, and, possibly, the yen (Eichengreen 1994; Beddoes 1999; Hausmann 1999).
		Even with currency deterritorialization, states today still dominate the supply side of the market, retaining jurisdiction over the issue of the monies that most people continue to use.

	Deterritorializing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In the Anti-Oedipus, deterritorialization and its opposite, "reterritorialization," are comparatively circumscribed terms, with a very specific job to do: derived initially from Lacanian psychoanalysis, they function as a kind of hinge-term to connect Marx and Freud, to articulate the concepts of libido and labor-power.
		{6} Despotism deterritorializes by forcibly transferring the focus of desire and production from local territories to the transcendent figure of the despot; representatives and representations of the despot prosecute such transference by over-coding the local codes of "savagery" and re-directing them in his favor.
		Instead, deterritorialization involves a "double-becoming" where one deterritorialized element serves as a new territory for another deterritorialized element (and "the least deterritorialized [element] reterritorializes on the most deterritorialized" [174]).

		The deterritorialization produces an ambiguity which, as Rapp suggests, stimulates the strange attractor in the listener's brain.
		I have illustrated, that deterritorialization operates at the scale of movement, bar and passage in Requiem.
		If the ambiguities generated by deterritorializations did not operate through these differing scales, the original stimulation of the brain's strange attractor to music would remain constant.

	Decoding
		But we have just seen that only through their encounter in a place, and their conjunction in a space that takes time, do decoded flows constitute a desire--a desire that, instead of just dreaming or lacking it, actually produces a desiring-machine that is at the same time social and technical.
		That is why capitalism and its break are defined not solely by decoded flows, but by the generalized decoding of flows, the new massive deterritorialization, the conjunction of deterritorialized flows.
		And for capital: the deterritorialization of wealth through monetary abstraction; the decoding of the flows of production through merchant capital; the decoding of States through financial capital and public debts; the decoding of the means of production through the formation of industrial capital; and so on.

	Grey Lodge Occult Review :: Issue #9 :: Rhizome ::
		At the same time, something else entirely is going on: not imitation at all but a capture of code, surplus value of code, an increase in valence, a veritable becoming, a becoming-wasp of the orchid and a becoming-orchid of the wasp.
		Each of these becomings brings about the deterritorialization of one term and the reterritorialization of the other; the two becomings interlink and form relays in a circulation of intensities pushing the deterritorialization ever further.
		It forms a rhizome with the world, there is an aparallel evolution of the book and the world; the book assures the deterritorialization of the world, but the world effects a reterritorialization of the book, which in turn deterritorializes itself in the world (if its capable, if it can).

	Why War? Commentary: War in 'A Thousand Plateaus' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Nietzsche's thesis that the State was created at the moment a noble race appeared as if by fate and occupied a nomadic people is complicated by D/G. Although the State expresses war, this is not the only thing created by the “war machine” nor is it the first.
		Instead, war is associated with deterritorialization and is therefore nomadic in origin.
		Although war originated with the nomads, it is a byproduct and not the principle aim of the deterritorializing flows of the nomadic pole.

		In spite of its relevance in the globalization discussion, this concept of deterritorialization needs further classification in order to be a basis for analytical and empirical work on current media cultures and the changes they undergo.
		Many cultural phenomena, in their commercial aspects (for example youth cultures or life styles), ethnical aspects (for example cultures of diaspora), or political aspects (for example the Green movement or movement against globalization) are thickenings which exist across different territories and also across different languages.
		Deterritorial representations are accessible in different territories, but focused on specific cultural communities such as Diasporas or life style communities.

		This process is known as 'deterritorialization' or 'becoming'.
		And in Quantum Self (1991), Zohar undermines the entire man/nature dichotomy by affirming that 'the basic building blocks of the mind (bosons) and matter (fermions) arise out of the same quantum substrate, and are engaged in a mutually creative 7 diologue (p.218).
		By establishing that all phenomena share the same quantum processes, her argument constructs a deterritorialization between human consciousness, the environment and indeed the universe.

		The process of deterritorialization seems to be sufficiently vague as to cover migration, but this must be examined in a little depth.
		Citizenship can be deterritorialized and migrating people can be torn from their roots, set down elsewhere and still consider themselves citizens of the 'old country'.
		However, parallel to deterritorialization is the fact that labor is a commodity and for both purchasers and sellers of this commodity, the imperative is migration.
