  • The irreducible chaos of the postmodern spectacularised JFK event
    Škerjanec, Blaž
    The following contribution attempts to problematise the JFK event by mapping modes of becoming as forms of departure from conventional socio-political structures, thereby introducing an ... anti-genealogical theoretical approach. The text constructs a concept of the event that parts from fidelity to a retrospectively created Badiouian Event on one hand, and on the other places an excessive libidinal Deleuzo-Guattarian and Lyotardian event in its lieu. A special emphasis is given to presenting the intersections between molar lines and the explosion of molecular moments within (and outside of) the so-called JFK event in order to indicate that a single interpretation of an event cannot become truly hegemonic. In this respect, the article focuses on presenting a critical analysis of Debord's theory of the Society of the Spectacle by providing the above-mentioned molecular instances; specifically, the article sketches out a vague transition from the subversive actions of the pop art and Beatnik movements to the JFK event in order to demystify Debord's Spectacle and Badiou's Event.
