abstract: the privileged way of appropriating the world in modernity (Nancy 41).Yet, this generalization of warring antagonism as supporting the very existence of discourse does not come without further dangers, as it tends to naturalize the exception of war as a trope of everyday action.This general contention is, however, not the one undertaken here, as I wish to discuss how the very exception of the event of war is domesti- cized when submitted to the joint work of representation and cultural mediation
