On Whose Terms Are You Shown?

(or, at least, following what principles?)

  • Chapter

Abstract

What are the facts that reach the status of ‘shared facts’? Through which mechanisms do they become recognized, accepted as facts? ‘Reality’, writes Lyotard, ‘is a status of the referent that results from the effectuation of procedures of fact-establishment’ (Lyotard 1988: 32). Such procedures are defined by agreed protocols and their effectuation is entrusted to specific institutions. I would call such institutions the ‘reality-pronouncing institutions’.
