Smooth space
In their book A Thousand Plateaux (orig. Capitalisme et Schizophrénie 2. Mille Plateaux) Gilles Deleuzes and Felix Guattari introduce two types of space: the smooth and the striated space. Following Doel´s description Smooth space is based on deconstruction of its distinctive other: deconstruction o pointillist, binary striated space. Therefore in Smooth Space there are no longer points as “ends of trajectories and lines” with some sort of “control”-function (Doel, 2000, p. 130). In Smooth Space variety and manifold prevail and “space” (as a verb!) so that space becomes “fractal and chaosmotic”. In this space there is neither clear “organization”, nor “structure”, “transcendence”, “principles” or “unity” (also called “oneness” or “constancy”) (Doel, 2000, pp. 130-131). It is a space of becoming, where those dimensions of being are left behind and instead “manifold”, “mutation”, “decentredness”, “contingency” and “consistency” as sort of outcome of deconstruction of the image of “Being” (Doel, 2000, p. 131). Becoming, spacing, mutational flexibility and movement are key images which can be connected to the kind of space which Doel calls "Smooth".
