 In critical theory, deterritorialization refers to the radical change, mutation , extension and separation of "territories", which can include socialaspects, cultural and political practices,  people, objects, languages, traditions , economic tendencies and economies, beliefs , and systems from a body in which they once originated. It is outlined and frequently discussed in the works of French critical theorists Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari .
Deterritorialization is the process by which an ensemble of relationships, called a territory, loses its current organization and context. The altered relationships then reconstitute something else by becoming reterritorialized. The idea is developed in Capitalism and Schizophrenia, a work by philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. One of the first examples of deterritorialization they describe is how the understanding of the psyche was revolutionized by Freud's concept of libido and thus deterritorialized. They reproach however that after the fruitful discovery of libido, Freud invented a new organized system (territory) for the understanding of the psyche, the oedipian drama, thus reterritorializing it. In critical theory, the idea has been applied to describe the mutation of social, cultural, economic and political practices, as well as of people, objects, languages, traditions and beliefs in relation to their respective originating bodies. Some theorists have adopted a literal understanding of the word, applying it to geographical territories. As this creates a new meaning, one could say the idea itself has been "deterritorialized" .
