Ecological Theories as Cultural Narratives: F.E. Clements's and H.A. Gleason's "Stories" of Community Succession.
Journet, Debra
Written Communication, v8 n4 p446-72 Oct 1991
Discusses the work of two U.S. ecologists of the first half of the twentieth century. Suggests that the structures of scientific narratives resemble structures of other cultural narratives. Asserts that presence of these competing stories about ecological data calls attention to the importance of narrative as an interpretive and rhetorical strategy in scientific discourse. (PRA)
