Some models are material objects. The aerodynamic properties of a car are investigated by putting a scale model in a wind tunnel; the spatial structure of molecule can be understood by looking at a ball-and-stick model of it; features of cell division are explored through model organisms like worm Caenorhabditis elegans; and the reaction of an economy to tax increases can be studied by observing how water flows through a tailor-made system of pipes and reservoirs.","PeriodicalId":403104,"journal":{"name":"Art, Representation, and Make-Believe","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133099401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper I aim to extend this suggestion and argue that works of fiction allow for encounters with concrete (yet fictitious) persons with a distinct point of view and a discernible perspective. These encounters allow us to contrast the perspective(s) that emerge from the work with one’s own. I will then discuss two moments of the social dimension: imagining fictional scenarios is a social practice, a game we play together and in which we encounter others. Both of these moments shed light on the central role of fiction for the social community in which it is embedded and show how engaging with works of fiction can contribute to the inner cohesion and to the persistence of the group.","PeriodicalId":403104,"journal":{"name":"Art, Representation, and Make-Believe","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132659541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lurking somewhere deep within us, this strange and wondrous substance was the repository of our beliefs, desires, hopes and fears. When our bodies moved about the world—placing us in front of a sunset, for example, or having us bite into a rotten apple—changes resulted in this inner world—thoughts about beauty, perhaps, or feelings of disgust. In turn, changes within this inner substance might bring about changes to our body—we might resolve to linger a while in front of the view or throw the apple away in disgust. Despite these frequent interactions with the outside world, however, our inner world was quite unlike the material stuff that makes up atoms, tables or the human body. And of course, unlike our bodies, it might also hope to live happily ever after.","PeriodicalId":403104,"journal":{"name":"Art, Representation, and Make-Believe","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121285688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
