This book describes and analyses a particular literary mode that
challenges the aesthetics of testimony by approaching the past
through detection, analysis, and 'archaeological' digging. How does
forensic literature narrate the past in terms of plot, language,
narration, and use of visual media? This volume examines how
forensic literature provides an important corrective to the
forensic paradigm and a means of exploring the relationship between
visual and material evidence and various forms of testimony. This
literary engagement with the past is investigated in order to
challenge a forensic paradigm that aims to eliminate the problems
related to human testimony through scientific objectivity,
resulting in a fresh and original text in which Bondergaard argues
literature's potential to explore the mechanisms of representation,
interpretation, and narration.
