- Title
We Have Tasted the Powers of the Age to Come: Thinking the Force of the Event—from <italic>Dynamis</italic> to <italic>Puissance</italic>.
- Authors
Clément Mercier, Thomas
- Abstract
Responding to the provocative phrase ‘The Age of Grammatology’, I propose to question the notion of ‘age’, and to interrogate the powers or forces, the <italic>dynameis</italic> or dynasties attached to the interpretative model of historical periodisation. How may we think the undeniable <italic>actuality</italic> of the event beyond the sempiternal history of ages, and beyond the traditional, onto-teleological chain of power, possibility, force or <italic>dynamis</italic> that undergirds such history?
