event Explanation: Not a Foucault expert, and the following quotes are not from "The Order of Things," but that shouldn't change much ... Er vertritt die These, daß „in jeder Gesellschaft die Produktion des Diskurses zugleich kontrolliert, selektiert, organisiert und kanalisiert wird – und zwar durch gewisse Prozeduren, deren Aufgabe es ist, die Kräfte und Gefahren des Diskurses zu bändigen, sein unberechenbar Ereignishaftes zu bannen, seine schwere und bedrohliche Materialität zu umgehen. http://tinyurl.com/cl7mk “[I]n every society the production of discourse is at once controlled, selected, organized and redistributed by a certain number of procedures whose role is to ward off its powers and dangers, to gain mastery over its chance events, to evade its ponderous, formidable materiality” (Foucault, Michel, “The Order of Discourse” in Shapiro, Michael, ed., Language and Politics (New York: NYU Press, 1984), pp. 108-138, p. 109). http://tinyurl.com/7ua9q |

uniqueness of the event / peculiarity of the event Explanation: I think the emphasis is on the surprise element of the event, that it can happen at all etc. Else he would have just called the Ereignis. |
