Learning from the Liminal: Fiction as Knowledge

Abstract

 

Seattle, April, 2001
Journal notes: Seems a staid, quiet city. Hard to imagine riots here, teargas, violence. Yet something is shifting in the world. Fomentation. A time of possibility, chaos, disruption, interesting tensions. Here we will assemble in well - appointed meeting rooms for one of the world's largest research meetings, tidied up, looking proper-to discuss disruptions in our notions of conventional academic discourse. Not exactly life-threatening issues, but life-changing perhaps. An invitation from Rishma Dunlop to participate in a panel on fiction as knowledge: Tom Barone, Anthony Pare, Elliot Eisner, Rishma Dunlop, me.
