Abstract

ABSTRACT This article aims to provide a response to the critique of the idea of the ‘event’ that forms the backbone of Alain Badiou’s studies. Accordingly, it argues that Badiou’s event is based on a materialist foundation and that this foundation should be considered together with the concept of ‘Idea’ and ‘organisation.’ It focuses on how the idea of the event, interwoven with the concept of Idea and organisation, can provide a way to change the order of the world or eliminate the established order. Thus, it is argued that the centrality of the concept of event in Badiou’s thought gains importance with the Idea and organisation, and it is stated that it is not possible to consider the event independently of historical struggles. At this point, the main problem of this article takes shape: What is the relationship between the concept of the event and social struggles? In this direction, the main argument of the article is that the concept of the event in Badiou’s thought does not have a miraculous or supernatural dimension, but that, on the contrary, this concept acquires a concrete meaning when it is related to social and historical riots and the communist Idea.

超越奇迹:巴迪欧政治思想中的事件、观念与组织
摘要本文旨在回应对“事件”概念的批评,“事件”是阿兰·巴迪乌研究的支柱。因此,它认为Badiou的事件是建立在唯物主义基础上的,这个基础应该与“理念”和“组织”的概念一起考虑它关注的是事件的理念,与理念和组织的概念交织在一起,如何提供一种改变世界秩序或消除既定秩序的方法。因此,有人认为,事件概念在Badiou思想中的中心地位随着理念和组织而变得重要,并指出不可能独立于历史斗争来考虑事件。在这一点上,本文的主要问题形成了:事件的概念与社会斗争之间有什么关系?在这个方向上,文章的主要论点是,巴迪乌思想中的事件概念并不具有奇迹或超自然的维度,相反,这个概念在与社会历史动乱和共产主义思想相关时获得了具体的意义。

期刊介绍: JouJournal for Cultural Research is an international journal, based in Lancaster University"s Institute for Cultural Research. It is interested in essays concerned with the conjuncture between culture and the many domains and practices in relation to which it is usually defined, including, for example, media, politics, technology, economics, society, art and the sacred. Culture is no longer, if it ever was, singular. It denotes a shifting multiplicity of signifying practices and value systems that provide a potentially infinite resource of academic critique, investigation and ethnographic or market research into cultural difference, cultural autonomy, cultural emancipation and the cultural aspects of power.
