This introduction sets up an edited volume of thirteen essays exploring how the philosopher Gilles Deleuze's concepts can be used to think about space. It frames Deleuze's ideas, such as the smooth and the striated or deterritorialization, as tools applicable to architecture, cinema, urban planning and political philosophy.
Ian Buchanan and Gregg Lambert's introduction opens the collection "Deleuze and Space," explaining that Gilles Deleuze's work gave philosophy a spatial vocabulary, concepts such as the smooth and the striated, the nomadic and the sedentary, deterritorialization and reterritorialization, and the fold, that let scholars think spatially across disciplines. The introduction sets out the book's purpose: to draw together thirteen contributions from scholars in different fields who apply these Deleuzian spatial concepts to concrete areas, including architecture, cinema, urban planning, political philosophy and metaphysics.
