Giles Deleuze - on nomadic thought


“State space is ‘striated’, or gridded. Movement is confined by gravity to a horizontal plane,…Nomad space is ‘smooth’ or open-ended. One can rise up at any point and move to another. Its mode of distribution is the nomos: arraying oneself in an open space (hold the street), as opposed to the logos of entrenching oneself in a closed space (hold the fort).” 

Giles Deleuze

Terms originally coined by Pierre Boulez.
