Deleuze and Guattari mean by 'deterritorialization'
Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari coined 'deterritorialization'
Capitalism is described as a movement that pushes social production to its extremes of deterritorialization, leading to massive shifts in social, cultural, economic, and political practices.
Example
The transition from traditional family structures to modern, diverse family arrangements exemplifies deterritorialization and reterritorialization of social relations.
Remember this
Understanding deterritorialization helps explain the dynamic nature of social and cultural transformations.
