ABSTRACT
Individual identities do not exist on their own. Facts do not exist on their own. What is taken to be the case, and therefore what can count as a revelation, depends on how assertions align with wider expectations, beliefs and practices. With the recognition that the potential for revealing depends on so much more than what a specific individual does, Chapter 5 asks: Who can reveal? When does the appeal to revelation become cogent? What gets valued through revelations? It does so by attending to the figurations that create the conditions for revelations as well as how revelations foster figurations.
