Being and Event
Since the book’s first publication in 1988, Alain Badiou’s Being and Event has established itself of one of the most important and controversial works in contemporary philosophy and its author as one of the most influential thinkers of our time.Being and Event is a comprehensive statement of Badiou’s philosophical project and sees him recast the European philosophical tradition from Plato onwards, via a series of analyses of such key figures as Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hegel, Rousseau, and Lacan.He thus develops the basis for a history of philosophy rivalling those of Heidegger and Deleuze in its depth. Now publishing in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to mark 25 years since the book’s first publication in French, Being and Event is an essential read for anyone interested in contemporary thought.

In German, the word "Event" is neuter, so the correct article to use is "das Event." Therefore, the correct way to say "the event" in German is "das Event."

Is it the event or the event?
It seems like there might be a typo in the question as it currently reads "Is it the event or the event?" If you could provide more context or clarify the question, I would be happy to help answer it.

What is an outcome event, a complementary event, a sample space, and an event set?
An outcome event is a specific result that can occur in an experiment or random process. A complementary event is the opposite of a given event, representing all outcomes that are not part of the original event. A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment, while an event set is a collection of one or more outcomes from the sample space that are of interest in a particular situation.

Critical Event Studies
Within events management, events are commonly categorised within two axes, size and content.Along the size axis events range between the small scale and local, through major events, which garner greater media interest, to internationally significant hallmark and mega events such as the Edinburgh Festival and the Tour de France.Content is frequently divided into three forms – culture, sport or business.However, such frameworks overlook and depoliticise a significant variety of events, those more accurately construed as protest. This book brings together new research and theories from around the world and across sociology, leisure studies, politics and cultural studies to develop a new critical pedagogy and critical theory of events.It is the first research monograph that deals explicitly with the concept of critical event studies (CES), the idea that it is impossible to explore and understand events without understanding the wider social, cultural and political contexts.It addresses questions such as can the occupation and reclamation of specific spaces by activists be understood as events within its framework? And is the activity of activists in these spaces a leisure activity?If those, and other similar activities, can be read as events and leisure, what does admitting them into the scope of events management and leisure studies mean for our understanding of them and how the study of events management is to be conceptualised?This title will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students on events management and related courses and scholars interested in understanding the ways in which events are constructed by the social, the cultural and the political.

Event Impact Assessment : Theory and methods for event management and tourism
Impact assessment can be highly technical and complex, requiring a broad knowledge base and diverse skills, but like evaluation, it is a process fraught with philosophical, technical and political perils.Why is it done, by whom, and how, must be carefully planned.Impacts cannot always be ’proven’, so the nature of evidence becomes critical. Accordingly, a strong theoretical base is needed by all IA practitioners. Whilst economic impacts have received a great deal of attention, with sufficient material available to guide all applications, for social, cultural and environmental IA the theory and practice has lagged.In the context of Triple Bottom Line, social responsibility and sustainability approaches most of the available literature is on normative goals (such as going green, meeting sustainability standards), the nature of positive and negative impacts (a descriptive approach or based on public input), or theory about how impacts occur; very little theory development or praxis has been directed at impact assessment for these applied fields. In response to this lack of information, Event Impact Assessment is the first text to: • Develop professionalism for IA and evaluation in these applied management fields. • Position impact assessment within sustainability and responsibility paradigms. • Recommend goals, methods and measures for planning, evaluation and impact assessment pertaining to events and tourism. • Encourage the adoption of standard methods and key performance indicators in evaluation and impact assessment in order to facilitate valid comparisons, benchmarking, reliable forecasts, transparency and accountability. • Provide concepts and models that can be adapted to diverse situations. • Connect readers to the research literature through use of Research Notes and provision of additional readings. This text also works well as a companion text to Event Evaluation: Theory and methods for event management and tourism.The Events Management Theory and Methods Series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. Each compact volume contains overviews of mainstream management theories and methods, examples from the events literature, case studies, and guidance on all aspects of planned-event management.They introduce the theory, show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporate examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be used effectively in the real world.Series editor: Donald Getz.

What is a certain event and an impossible event?
A certain event is an event that is guaranteed to happen, with no possibility of failure. For example, the sun rising in the morning is a certain event. An impossible event, on the other hand, is an event that has no chance of occurring. For example, a person jumping to the moon without any assistance is an impossible event.

What is the difference between event space and event system?
Event space refers to the physical location where an event takes place, such as a venue or a room. It includes the layout, design, and capacity of the space. On the other hand, an event system refers to the overall framework or structure that manages and coordinates all aspects of an event, including planning, scheduling, communication, and logistics. While event space focuses on the physical environment, event system encompasses the organizational and operational elements of an event.

Which event, concert, or other event sells out the fastest?
Events featuring popular artists or bands tend to sell out the fastest, especially if they have a limited number of tickets available. Major music concerts, especially those by well-known artists, often sell out within minutes of tickets going on sale. Additionally, highly anticipated sporting events, such as championship games or matches featuring popular teams, can also sell out quickly due to high demand. Lastly, exclusive events with limited capacity, such as intimate theater performances or special one-time shows, are also likely to sell out rapidly.

What is a certain event and what is an impossible event?
A certain event is an event that is guaranteed to happen, with a probability of 1. For example, if you flip a fair coin, the event of it landing either heads or tails is a certain event because one of those outcomes is guaranteed. On the other hand, an impossible event is an event that has a probability of 0, meaning it cannot happen. For instance, rolling a 7 on a standard six-sided die is an impossible event because the numbers on a die range from 1 to 6.
