Authenticity, plausibility, and credibility, accuracy and reality: distinctions and
significance in fiction about science. Discussion II.
Emanuel Herold introduces his framework for working with these concepts in FMS, followed
by a group discussion of their significance
in Allegra Goodman’s prototypical science novel Intuition from
our different professional perspectives (literary scholar, fiction writer, sociologist,
scientist). We attempt to expand and develop the framework so that it can be
used to communicate across these diverse perspectives, and, possibly, provide a means
for blending or fusing them into a new and useful agglomerate, or even amalgamate,
of conclusions.
