This research seeks to align some of the terms and thoughts of Deleuze and Guattari with news photography in Iran. Deleuze and Guattari created a new reading for past vocabularies, with "domain" being one of these terms defined in three parts: "territorialization," "deterritorialization," and "reterritorialization." In this discussion, land is conceptualized as a domain influencing events and affecting individuals’ ways of thinking. This research not only considers land as a domain, but it also introduces photography in the year 1978 as a changing territory. The photographer in this study, through their photos and photographic style, pursues a new domain that contrasts with past methods, aiming to not only enhance awareness but also express a form of creativity. Numerous photographers, such as Abbas Attar, Michel Setboun, David Barnett, and Akbar Nazemi, are examined in this research, where the domain is redefined in the form of the human body and urban structure. As a result, this work expresses the deterritorialization of the subject's body, university, city, and school. Additionally, it addresses how the body, without organs, can embody the interconnectedness and deterritorialization of its previous meaning, aligning with the concept of domain as articulated by Deleuze and Guattari in these photographs. https://www.ijumes.com/article_722922_36363972284aa48ab84e37f42823f3d8.pdf
