Abstract

How are relocated witnesses in the US federal witness security program equipped to hide in plain sight and remain untraceable? Two models of social identity combine to account for this-social role play (Goffman) and performativity (Butler, Barad, Braidotti)-as an immanent process of becoming-imperceptible.
