In response to the essays by Brower, Adams, and Jones in this volume, this essay argues against the ocular-empiricism of eyewitness by which sight authenticates experience and experience authenticates the seeingself. The logics that tie experiential fundamentalism to identity politics are inherently faulty and potentially regressive. They lock the “I” in a representational chain connecting that‘s what I saw; that‘s what happened; that‘s how things are; that‘s my/the story; that‘s who I am. Following Scott, the essay favors a critical/creative approach that immerses “experience“ in political intervention and self-making.
