We introduce a field theoretic formalism enabling the direct study of dislocation and interstitial dynamics. Explicit expressions for the energies of such defects are given. We provide links to earlier numerical, discrete elastic, time dependent Ginzburg Landau, and other approaches sought by numerous authors for the problem of defect dynamics. The formalism introduced in this article may be extended to address many other systems. Apart from their heavily studied role in dislocation mediated crystal melting, defect dynamics recently gained much interest due to their viable role in various electronic and other systems of current interest. These systems include, yet are not limited to, stripe phases of Quantum Hall liquids, theories addressing the melting of stripe phases in various doped oxides (including the high temperature cuprate superconductors, the nickelates, and manganates), defects in supersolids, as well as colloidal crystals.
