Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to find out how and to what extent the relative deterritorialization of Paris 2024 vis-à-vis the host city is accompanied by a reterritorialization that contributes to the logic of accumulation of the Olympic system and its reproduction through the local appropriation of this sports mega-event. By testing one of the key couples of Deleuze and Guattari’s principles (1972, 1980)—“deterritorialization and reterritorialization”—we could better understand the pre-Olympic dynamics of appropriation of Paris 2024 outside the host city. To this end, the chapter will start with a conceptual framing, before addressing the methodological approach. We will then analyze the relative deterritorialization of Paris 2024, through the spatial diffusion of the Terre de Jeux (TdJ) and Centre de Prèparation aux Jeux (CPJ) dispositive, and then its reterritorialization via the processes of territorial intermediation linked to the activation of these dispositive in Orlèans. Finally, we will present a series of concluding remarks.
