s opposed to the dynamic,insurgent and more cyclical time of becoming orAion
The "time" represented by Aion is unbounded, in contrast to Chronos as empirical time divided into past, present, and future: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aion_(deity)
Unlike both Aion or Chronos, kairos is a particular moment of time, a timely or opportune moment. It is situated in a particular context or need (a rhetorical situation).

Dis-course is not what is said; it is that which constrains and enables whatcan be said. Discursive practices define what counts as meaningful state-ments.
This definition sounds pretty similar to definitions of kairos that I've seen. Even as authors, such as Barad, continue to offer definitions of their terminology, I wonder if it becomes harder to actually make these definitions with the increasing realization of the instability of meaning and haziness of boundaries.

I think the paragraph at the bottom of column 1, going into column 2 gets at the question here. The ability to "deflect attention" as it's described (either deflecting attention from the scene or from the agent) says something about the negotiating that is oftentimes necessary in the ability to speak or act at particular moments. Being able to shift between agent vs. scene has some leverage in determining next moves. So, maybe it's not that it's in one of the pentad categories, but in all of them a little bit.

In Greek thought there are two ways of viewing time: Chronos and Kairos. Chronos Time is chronological and measurable. Kairos Time is more open-ended and expansive such that one can experience an “eternity” in a brief instant. It is not a cold finality at all. While we mainly live in Chronos Time, it is possible to experience Kairos as a place in which to abide and to breathe deeply without respect to calendars and deadlines. Too often we live only for the clock and fail to notice how, in the absence of incremental time, we would be more able to see the pattern in the rug, how the stained glass windows of our lives make sense as wholes and not as mere pieces.
This paragraph.

If he stay till he can work up his style, and polish and adorn it, he will infallibly cool his own ardour
Interesting connection with Vico, good kairos is not just about external context, but also the speaker's ability to seize their own moment.

A very crucial point here: judgment and discernment are themselves relational and contextual.
That said, we would be wise to keep in mind the Lemos piece on norms and normalcy (as it bears upon bodies) as we read the rest of this paragraph.

it hits the target.
Wondering what we could learn from this discussion of the arrow's flight about kairos, which (I learned from Bodily Arts!) once named a mark or an opening in the body where the body might be vulnerable to penetration by an arrow.

thus in Argos a penalty is inflicted on a man on whose account a law is passed, and also on those on whose account the prison was built
You don't see this style of penalization much anymore.

The same is true of crimes so great and terrible that no man living could be suspected of them: here too no precautions are taken.
I find this bit amusing. Extremely amusing. It does not seem conceivable in our modern world for something like this to happen. To have someone commit a crime and not be charged due to the fact that it's so terrible that it couldn't possibly have been performed by the accused.
