Kairosis describes the literary affect of fulfillment in time. This affect is normally associated with the epic/novel genre of literature. This affect can be understood by the ratio "as catharsis is to the dramatic, so kenosis is to the lyric, so kairosis is to the epic/novel."
Compare to the theological and rhetorical concept of Kairos.
