Examples

“Rather than finding that thought "disturbing," Clausewitz would suggest that any science of war that left nothing to chance would founder as the "individual in history" made the decisions that are the stuff of "evenemential," or narrative, military history, of the action-reaction phenomena of organized social violence.”

“Unlike evenemential temporality, which captures historicity in real time, we are dealing with a deferred temporality, the recording of an event that has already happened.”

“Sometimes, for example when he is speaking about the 'evenemential field', the event appears as objective: the evenemential field is supposedly the same for all historians.”
