i think the question of the 'negative', relative to the sublime, is where
Deleuze parts company with Kant. The subject's finity is not a kind of
negative, at least i don't think Deleuze would say it is. Deleuze is
touchy about the negative, and his reading of Kant is, i think, different
altogether from say that of Zizek (but i am not familiar with Zizek, so
i am not sure). For Deleuze, the subject does not represent things at all.
To see Deleuze's stuff on Kant and the Kantian cogito and the resulting
transcendental subject, see WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY?. although Deleuze admires
Kant, one should not think of him as a Kantian--perhaps a post-kantian.
Deleuze is pretty harsh on Kant's attempt to find a unity to a subject.
When dealing with the subject, Deleuze likes the concept of the fold, which
he says constitutes an 'unlimited finity.'
