Learning from the Liminal: Fiction as Knowledge.
Neilsen, Lorri
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v48 n3 p206-14 Fall 2002
Describes a panel discussion on the acceptability of fiction in academic discourse. Gives advice to scholars wondering whether fiction should be considered as knowledge: stop taking yourself so seriously; embrace "scholartistry", the application of the artistry of imaginative powers to scientific inquiry; know that truth changes; explore the territories of the heart and spirit in courageous and honest ways.
