'''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]] deterritorialization and an [[absolute]] one ("Earth")⏎

More generally, deterritorialization can describe any process that decontextualizes a set of relations, rendering them [[virtual]] and preparing them for more distant actualizations. In ''Anti-Oedipus'', the obvious parallel example of economic deterritorialization is psychic deterritorialization. Deleuze and Guattari praise Freud for liberating psychic energy with the idea of libido. They criticize him for reterritorializing libido onto the terrain of a specific [[Oedipus complex|Oedipal drama]].

''[[A Thousand Plateaus]]'' (1980) distinguishes between  [[relative] and an [[absolute]] deterritorialization. Relative deterritorialization is always accompanied by reterritorialization, while positive absolute deterritorialization is more alike to the construction of a "[[plane of immanence]]", akin to [[Spinoza]]'s  [[ontological]] constitution of the world {{Ref|Negri}}. There is also a negative sort of absolute deterritorialization, for example in the [[subjectivation]] process (''the face'').
