Biologists, historians, lawyers, art historians, and literary
critics all voice arguments in the critical dialogue about what
constitutes evidence in research and scholarship. They examine not
only the constitution and "blurring" of disciplinary boundaries,
but also the configuration of the fact-evidence distinctions made
in different disciplines and historical moments; the relative
function of such concepts as "self-evidence," "experience," "test,"
"testimony," and "textuality" in varied academic discourses; and
the way "rules of evidence" are themselves products of historical
developments.
The essays and rejoinders are by Terry Castle, Lorraine Daston,
Carlo Ginzburg, Ian Hacking, Mark Kelman, R. C. Lewontin, Pierre
Vidal-Naquet, Mary Poovey, Donald Preziosi, Simon Schaffer, Joan W.
Scott, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Barbara Herrnstein Smith.
The critical responses are by Lauren Berlant, James Chandler, Jean
Comaroff, Arnold I. Davidson, Harry D. harootunian, Elizabeth
Helsinger, Thomas C. Holt, Francoise Meltzer, Robert J. Richards,
Lawrence Rothfield, Joel Snyder, Cass R. Sunstein, and William
Wimsatt.
