calendarduel

/ˈkælɪndəˌdjuːəl/nounVerified New

The scheduling of rival commemorations on the same date and site to fight over a memory's meaning.

Two crowds, one anniversary, competing readings. The calendar becomes the battlefield because the battlefield itself is unavailable.

Etym. — calendar + duel. Five syllables; the fifth buys the site-specificity that "date fight" would lose.

Rel. — syllabusturn
