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.
