ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates how confession has become widespread within practices of education and lifelong learning more widely. Through the confession, we are invited and encouraged to decipher our true inner self who we are and what we would like to become. The chapter takes inspiration from such theorisations in order to provide some alternatives to the argument by Fejes and Dahlstedt is seen as a persuasiveness of the confessional in the present time. This is an important task in terms of creating a space to think about the confessional and what it does in our present, differently. Drawing on marginalised discourses may open up spaces for new propositions and new discourses to emerge, take hold and eventually become positioned within the true, and thus possibilities to live the present otherwise might emerge.
