ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates Hegel's negation of the negation method by giving some examples. It describes Hegel's use of multiplicity in relation to Oneness, as he does his negation of the negation method. The chapter explores Zizek's coupling of negation of the negation dialectic method with Jacques Lacan's dialectic approach to psychoanalysis. It provides Barad's work, and addresses some critiques Zizek has leveled, as he reworks Barad quantum physics notions, her concepts of agential realism, diffraction, intra-activity of materiality with discourse, and posthumanist philosophy. The chapter also demonstrates a negation of the negation and multiplicity analysis in the case of Wal-Mart. The problem Hegel raises is how Spirit has broken with the world it has hitherto inhabited. The spatializing of Heres, the temporalizing of Times of Nows, and the movement in its history of experiences puts negation of the negation into relationality with qualitative-multiplicity of movement.
