ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter closes by summarizing the previous chapters and drawing out the implications of this book for future research agendas. Toward this end, it addresses the questions:
* How does the appeal to ‘revealing’, as a guiding orientation and ideal, play out in contemporary social, political and scientific debates?
* What kinds of invitations to understanding and feeling are associated with making available what was closed off, unrecognized, unintelligible and unacknowledged?
* How does movement and mix – between belief and skepticism, investment and divestment, solidity and fluidity, the sense that things are what they seem and that things are not what they seem – constitute revealing?
* How are tellers, audiences, technologies, methods and objects bound together through appeals to revelation?
