BADIOU, ALAIN
b. 1937
The Event (Arrival)
Badiou: the Event is the rupture in the situation that obliges fidelity. CoCA inherits the structure and softens the vocabulary. The Event becomes Arrival (Vol. I Foreword). The obligation becomes the Vow of Calm. The rupture becomes the meeting. The fidelity is the keeping of records of what worked (§2.3.5). We have demilitarized Badiou and turned the cell into a working group.
