Hi Brett,

ad 1)
imho the best commentary on D/G is Brian Massumi's book A User's Guide to
Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Deviations from  Deleuze and Guattari
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0262631431/qid=1040665641/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/103-1271124-9447848?v=glance&s=books)

Complete with textual notes, maps, examples  -- all you'd  ever want to know
about D/G is there.  There is also Ronald Bogue's introduction Deleuze and
Guattari, which has its merits, but the guy is not crazy about D/G the way
Massumi is (he translated Mille Plateaux).

You will find "CHARLES J. STIVALE - Deleuze and Guattari :   WEB RESOURCES"
also quite helpful: http://www.langlab.wayne.edu/Romance/FreDeleuze.html
Equally helpful or more so are the following URLs:
http://www.uta.edu/english/apt/d&g/d&gweb.html ("Deleuze and Guattari on the
web") and http://65.107.211.206/cpace/theory/deleuze.html ("WWW Resources for
Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari")
There is also an email list:

I'd love to give you a good answer here, because that is something which would
interest me ver ymuch and it's a shame that I never looked more closely into
it.  I think Deleuze writes about Husserl and Heidegger in The Logic of
Sense.  But I haven't read it yet (blush).  What I found though is the
following text with the wonderful title "Metal, metallurgy, music, Husserl,
Simondon"; it belongs to the seminar sessions at Vincennes 1979, and Deleuze
talks about Husserl here.  The link works only as a HTML transcript:
http://www.google.de/search?q=cache:c5UWvUCyNFAC:nml.cult.bg/data/GILLES%2520DELEUZE.doc+Gilles+Deleuze+Husserl+&hl=de&ie=UTF-8

The original link doesn't seem to work.

Best,

Dagmar
