In this essay we discuss about a cartographic mapping of the molar and molecular concepts in the work of Deleuze and Guattari, understanding the molar as the framer, hard and seeking unity, and the molecular as the elusive, smooth, which affirms multiplicity and difference. To achieve this goal, we geographically search, in the authors’ books, for concepts that related to molar and molecular territorial affections, thus tracing a path for our Deleuzo-Guattarian reading. Concepts such as “rhizome”, “agency” and “Body without Organs” are in direct contact with these territorial affections, and outline a topology of Deleuzo-Guattarian terrains, determining what is closer or further away, and what is contagious or not to such concepts. We seek to apprehend, within the books, the places that affect philosophy itself and its implications in reality, calling them territorial affections, islands of concepts within the archipelago of a philosophical work.
