Deleuze and Guattari’s ‘Deterritorialization’ (D) is of use in theorizing Lain’s place in the cycle of commodity culture.  D is the movement by which one leaves the territory. It is the operation of the line of flight. (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987: 508)  Serial Experiments Lain adopts the discourse of cyborg theory and cyberfeminism through Haraway’s eradication of boundaries. For example, the eradication of the boundary between the real world and the Wired, dead and living, physical and non-physical is broken down in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TbgGlSUEus this scene] when Lain talks to Chisa.

The text thus leaves the territory of capitalism and patriarchy founded on binaries. This was elaborated on in an [[To what commodity end are concepts of the ‘post-human’ and the ‘cyborg’ marketed? Give screen and theoretical examples of each.|earlier post]]. The text is then reterritorialized:  D may be overlaid by a compensatory reterritorialization obstructing the line of flight. (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987: 508)  As Serial Experiments Lain exists within the systems of capitalism and patriarchy, a reterritorialization occurs on the ideal/fantasy of escape. Although it may be imagined that the binaries of patriarchy may be escaped through fiction, as a form of entertainment media that is made to be consumed, Lain exists within the system of capitalism.  D is in turn inseparable from correlative reterritorializations. (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987: 509)  In this context, R is associated with capitalism and capitalism is an inescapable force. The D, in this case, is said to be negative because there is always a R obstructing the line of flight.  Lain helps us to understand the cyclical nature of the systems of capitalism and patriarchy under which we live and from which we can’t escape.
