I have a lot to think about now.
I came to Deleuze (and Guattari) via Elizabeth Adams St Pierre and Elizabeth Grozs. Reading them I realised I needed some help digesting such a rich system of possibility. Stark discusses thought, becoming, desire, bodies, difference and politics through a Deleuzian-feminist lens. At times it seems like she moves too close to essentialism for my comfort, or there are touches of talk about "joy" which I am wary of (not the affect just joy as a theory or ideal). the conclusion is that we need a politics of difference which is active and seeks changes, shifts and destabilises power and the "inevitable" which I agree with supposing a way forward can be found.
