Deleuze (sometimes with others): My notes and commentaries

I was going to write a single commentary on bits of the Deleuzian works that I found interesting, but instead I am going to post something more fragmented and at an earlier stage -- notes on various topics that have engaged me as I have read through the stuff. I have avoided the effort of editing it altogether, so the different sections sometimes overlap -- eg Deleuze and women, Deleuze on cultural politics etc. Some pieces have been shaped as journal articles of various kinds (so many thousand words, proof-read and properly referenced etc), and some have even been published, but others are really little more than preliminary thoughts, linked to more substantive notes on the various books.
