continuous history

is the idea that time dispenses nothing without restoring it in a reconstituted unity.

He wishes to challenge the concept of 'continous history' because it: 'is the indispensable correlative of the founding function of the subject: the guarantee that everything that has eluded him may be restored to him: the certainty that time will disperse nothing without restoring it in a reconstituted unity... the promise that one day the subject in the form of historical consicousness will once again be able to appropriate, to bring back under his sway, all those things that are kept at a distance by difference, and find in them what might be called his abode'
