This project emerged from an advanced graduate seminar on Deleuze and Culture taught by Kara Keeling in the USC School of Cinematic Arts in fall 2009. The course engaged with a selection of writings by and about French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Drawing on Deleuze's work on literature, music, painting and film, the class focused on primary and secondary Deleuzian scholarship related to visual culture. Using the media sharing capabilities of Critical Commons, students and instructors gathered relevant film clips and posted critical commentaries to be shared online, thus forming the beginnings of an annotated archive of media referred to within Deleuzian theory. The goal, in juxtaposing media and commentaries is to enrich comprehension of the readings and to create an open, discursive space for continuing discussion.
