'''Deterritorialization''' is a [[concept]] created by [[Gilles Deleuze]] and [[Félix Guattari]] in ''[[Anti-Oedipus]]'' (1972), which, in accordance to Deleuze's desire and [[philosophy]], quickly became used by others, for example in [[anthropology]], and transformed in this reappropriation.

==Deleuze & Guattari's use of the concept==
[[Deleuze]] and [[Guattari]] use deterritorialization to designate the freeing of labor-power from specific means of production.  For example, English peasants were banished by the [[Enclosure Acts]] (1709
-–1869) from common land when it was enclosed for private landlords.  They distinguished in ''[[A Thousand Plateaus]]'' (1980) a [[relative]] deterritorialisation and an [[absolute]] one ("Earth"). Relative deterritorialisation is always accompanied by reterritorialisation, while positive absolute deterritorialisation is more alike to the construction of a "[[plane of immanence]]", akin to [[Spinoza]]'s  [[ontological]] constitution of the world {{Ref|Negri}}. Ther(contracted; show full)lization and [[reterritorialization]] are seamlessly conjoined; [[reterritorialization]] occurring immediately after, as the local community becomes a part of the global culture.  This relates to the idea of a [[globalization]] of culture.  In this process, culture is simultaneously deterritorialized and reterritorialized in different parts of the world as it moves.  As cultures are uprooted from certain territories, they gain a special meaning in the new territory which they are taken into.
