Procedural Presence: Failing and Learning

Abstract

Doing procedure, one may also suggest, is about repeating what has been previously established with and by the acts archiving and about arranging future positions from the case’s potentials, within certain standardized arenas. But is doing procedure this simple? In the previous chapters that have dealt with the procedural past and the procedural future, we already complicated and re-specified the picture. We observed unbinding from the past and re-positioning in regard to the final stages. However, it is inadequate to reduce doing procedure to the extensions toward the two temporalities: back to the past and forward to the future. The temporal extensions need to take place at some point in time. They have to be situated.
