The Event I Do Not Want to Miss This Year: The Fourth International Deleuze Studies Conference "Creation, Crisis, Critique"

I have just applied to The Fourth International Deleuze Studies Conference "Creation, Crisis, Critique". The deadline was supposed to be tomorrow (February 1, 2011). But to my knowledge it was prolonged (March 1, 2011). I applied as an "author" (you can choose whether you attend the conference as an author or participant). Besides, I have also applied to the Summer School: Deleuze Camp 5 "Creative Critique". I have never attended any Deleuze Studies course or summer school. I am the only person who is dealing with the Deleuze and Guattari's works in the American Studies Department at TU, DO. The Bochum PhD Candidate Dennis Mischke is the only Deleuzian I know personally in the Nordrhein-Westfalia. The 3rd Deleuze Conference, which I was honoured to attend last year, turned out to be great and isnpiring. Since, my productivity boosted. The Deleuze and Guattari's nomadology A Thousand Plateaus is at the basis of my methodological framework. I cross my fingers and go on working on my dissertation... hoping to be able to present an interesting paper about slightly different subject in June in Copenhagen.
