If not peak Deleuze, then peak positivity, and high-time to throw off the overbearing weight of contemporary theory's obsession with affirmation: "Affirm. Enhance. Maximize. Optimize. Expand." http://cultureandcommunication.org/galloway/peak-deleuze-and-the-red-bull-sublime …

Very true, and I’m not in full agreement with how Galloway frames the issue. But I do agree on two points: the shortcomings of the trend as a theoretical issue (Culp’s Dark Deleuze is convincing in this respect—affirmation too often begets complacency), and...
...and that it is a trend with a range of expression limited by a its own enforced positivity. I’d like to think that with fatigue will come more interesting and critical takes on the topic. Even in Bennett or Braidotti there are traces of negativity to be explored.
