The concept of "event" appears often in Foucault's writings and in
"Qustions of Method" in terms of the concept "eventalization". Yet
despite its centrality it seems (to me) that very little has been
written about this Foucauldian concept. Is that correct?
As I read the various texts, Foucault employs the 'event' concept
primarily as a way to break up or disrupt well-established and
taken-for-granted continuities in traditional history, and as a tool to
ensure that historical events are seen and grasped in their unique
singularity and not forced into pre-established patterns of historical
understanding. But there might be other aspects to the concept of
'event' and how it is used by Foucault. I would be interested to read
the views of other members of the Foucault list.
Jesper.
