(2018) Multiplicity and ontology in Deleuze and Badiou, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
This chapter begins by developing an account of subtraction in Badiou's ontological work parallel to the n-1 procedure operative in Deleuze and Guattari's work; unlike the 'special" subtraction associated with truth procedures (outlined in the Gamma Diagram), Badiou's account also harbors a "general" subtraction, largely continuous with the procedure Deleuze and Guattari describe as a mode of maintenance. I point out the success of this general subtraction's functioning in Badiou's well-defined ontological context and its liabilities when applied to a meta-ontological context. It is in light of this continuity over subtraction that I then return to the original engagements outlined in Chapter 2—the political, conceptual and martial connections I laid out there—from the far side of my analysis of multiplicity, multiple, and one in Badiou's and Deleuze's work.
