A territory, space and place for animals
Nothing [is] more errant, more nomadic in appearance than animals,
and yet their law is that of territory. But one must push aside all the
countermeanings on this notion of territory. It is not at all the enlarged
relation of a subject or of a group to its own space, a sort of organic
right to private property of the individual, of the clan or of the species—
such is the phantasm of psychology and of sociology extended to all of
ecology…. The territory is the site of a completed cycle of parentage
and exchanges…. Neither the beasts nor the savages [sic] know 'nature'
in our way: they only know territories, limited, marked, which are the
spaces of insurmountable reciprocity.
