Deterritorialization

..."What Gilles Deleuze and FĂ©lix Guattari have called deterritorialization...A text which uses conventional forms in a conventional way is territorialized, it embodies the majority discourse and reflects the obtaining ideology of the society from which it springs. This is the case with most forms of popular narrative even though they may reflect that ideology from an oppositional standpoint."

from: Marie Maclean, Narrative Performance: The Baudelairean Experiment, Routledge, New York, 1988, p 45. 

     Is the idea of Capitalist Realism a commentary of the concept of territorialization, or is territorialization a means of approaching Capitalist Realism?
