 The sociological effect is the globalization of institutions devoted to the study of Deleuze’s thought and its application in various fields. A noteworthy institutional initiative is the series of conferences sponsored by the journal Deleuze and Guattari Studies (see Other Internet Resources) under the leadership of Ian Buchanan. In addition to numerous conferences in Europe and North America, an index of Deleuze’s widespread impact is the success of a number of conferences in Asia (to date, Taiwan, India, Singapore, South Korea, China and Japan).
