The Scintillation of the Event
Symposium 12 (2):93-109 (2008)

In particular, although Badiou provides a thorough account of the event from the perspective of the consequences it enables, I show on the basis of Nancy’s suggestion that he tends to neglect an account of the event from the perspective of its occurrence and its passage | |||||||||
