Nice to meet you! By all means, let's friend. It's always great to meet others at the intersections of theory and anime.
In the context of the above, this reminds me strongly of the desire-without-pleasure idea that comes out of masochism in "How Do You Become A Body Without Organs?" I dunno if there's anywhere useful to go with that or not.
You've got it exactly. That chapter of A Thousand Plateaus was in the back of my mind as I was writing this, and I've written about it before here (http://merin-chan.livejournal.com/9864.html). When it comes to thinking about Kaze (and other shounen-ai with similar dynamics), the BwO has great potential, I think. ^^
