Abstract
This short bridging section brings together the threads and tools of the preceding three – on refusal, potential and resistance. It asks what kind of critical history-writing is enabled, in this particular case , by these tools, these traditions and this awareness of the history and politics of personal experience. Carving out a space for reflection on, as well as the integration and management of, personal experience has taken much time and space in this account, and this bridge is intended to aid a transition from the historiographical reflection on experience, to the social history of Munchausen and Munchausen by Proxy.
