ABSTRACT

In this chapter we document examples of the process of emergence through the AGM in terms of both mainstream and movement milieus. The treatment offered here reinforces the importance of ‘retrodictive’ sense making in relation to complexity events advanced by Eve et al. (1997). We argue this is methodologically consistent with the genealogical approach adopted by Deleuze. What emerges as important here is a systematic eye for detail and repetition over an extended period of time. Here, we argue that such repetitions evidence the multiple folding of social, economic and political systems critical to the detection of emergent phenomena (see Chapter 1).
