Thanks to those at Bloomsbury involved in the editing and production process and to Madeleine Davis for compiling the index. I am very grateful to Luke Hortle for his meticulous eleventh-hour research assistance. I would like to acknowledge those people who supported the germination of my interest in Deleuze when I was undertaking my PhD: Mandy Treagus who took on a risky project and gave me the time and space to work through ideas, Ken Ruthven who taught me that it was important to find clarity particularly when working on Deleuze and Jessica Murrell who worked beside me. I would also like to thank my family Jeff, Jordan and Ben Stark and Joyce Dinan, who (refreshingly) have very little interest in Deleuze but who support and encourage me in this work anyway. Much gratitude goes to my colleagues at the University of Tasmania, particularly to Ralph Crane and the Elle Leane who were there when I ran into difficulties. Special thanks to Michelle Phillipov who not only kept me on track but who also told me when the book wasn’t working, even when it was the last thing that I wanted to hear. I am appreciative to various collaborators who have pushed me to think about Deleuze and/or feminist theory in new ways: Tim Laurie, Jon Roffe and Guinevere Narraway. Many thanks to my students, particularly in my Literary Theory course and postgraduate theory reading group, who remind me of the wonder of encountering theory. This book was written largely on weekends. I would like to thank Anne Romeo for her love and patience and for holding our life together while I worked.
