Abstract
This dialogic chapter opens the book with a discussion between the two editors. We are presenting a collection that has contributions from around the world, with perspectives that don’t always agree with each other’s take on the concept; and that, in our view, is exciting. That diversity is also present between us, as an editorial team. Whilst we both share common interests and our different approaches to the field of event studies resonate significantly, we thought it would be interesting to share, through an informal conversation, something that illustrates where our perspectives cohere and diverge. By documenting a conversation, we felt that the ideas would emerge more organically and therefore be an accessible and interesting format for the beginning of the book.
J. Moss had contributed to this chapter along with E. Wood.
