Feminism, Foucault and Deleuze
Article Abstract:
Gilles Deleuze rejected the binary oppositions of traditional society between men and women, making a contribution to feminism by allowing for the idea of identity and selfhood while expanding desire beyond that idea. Michel Foucault recognized the importance of Deleuze even as he was credited with the binary thought of identity. The concept of bisexuality demonstrates Deleuze's philosophy of a body without organs in that rather than seeing a bisexual as both man and woman, homo- and heterosexual, he saw desire beyond the physical being such that gender and sexual orientation were irrelevant.

Immanence: a life...
Article Abstract:
Transcendental fields are often defined by consciousness but that is only the reflection of transcendents while in actuality the fields exist regardless of whether a consciousness is present. The plane of immanence in the transcendental fields should be consider a life in the sense that a life is at once everywhere and at the same time tied to individuals. A life is composed of virtuals that are in the process of being actualized.
