Debating the Norms of Scientific Writing: International Workshop for Young Researchers

Publication at Faculty of Social Sciences |
2020

Abstract

In this text I would like to address some recurrent topics from both the presentations and the discussions. On the whole, my concern relates to the claims to write more realistically, or to capture reality and pursue the truth in particular accounts.

Although one of the explicit aims was "to probe these writing experiments, and to study how they express, justify, problematise, and renegotiate the normative rhetoric of disciplines," in reality, a large number of presentations did pursue, if not truth, then, at least, an aspect of more realistic writing.
