Deleuze - Nomadology - Split C: Nomad vs. Sedentary Space
Nomad vs. Sedentary Space
- Nomads distribute people in open, indefinite spaces, marked by traits that shift with movement.
- Sedentary societies divide and regulate closed spaces with walls, roads, and boundaries.
- Nomadic space is tactile and haptic, relying on local operations and relations rather than fixed points.
- The State seeks to striate space, controlling flows and restricting nomadic speed and movement.
- These spatial differences underpin contrasting social, economic, and military systems.
