Résumé : The article argues that epistemic injustice undermines individuals' epistemic capabilities, but most importantly their ability to exist in their social world. Due to epistemic injustice, they are unable to speak out and take action in defence of their existence, or what Judith Butler calls their “powers of existence”. Individuals are unable to affirm themselves in social interactions, especially in real-world or online conversations. Gilbert Simondon's concept of individuation is used to demonstrate that epistemic injustice threatens a person's sense of self in relation to others and the world. We also see how epistemic injustice is a manifestation of struggle and power through the lens of individuation. To exist in the social world appropriately, individuals must affirm their self-knowledge with the aim of reclaiming their epistemic agency. Epistemic agency becomes a matter of preserving their powers of existence in interaction with others.
