My intention in this book is to apply these ideas from Badiou to pedagogical contexts and to try to consider events of learning which, within the localised situations of learners, arise but then leap beyond into a new ontological state of learning.

This signifier ‘and’ represents the place of the subject, a subject in the process of change. Feltham remarks that the subject is ‘the one who unfolds new structures of being and thus writes the event into being (ibid, xxxi).

For Badiou the idea of multiplicity is primary it is what is before any kind of symbolisation and he terms this pre-symbolic multiplicity inconsistent multiplicity.
