Kim of the University of Arizona for her lecture entitled "Nonfiction Is Not (Just) to Be Believed."

Philosophers of fiction routinely rely on an unexamined contrast class: nonfiction. The dominant assumption is that nonfiction is discourse meant to be believed (while fiction is discourse meant to be imagined or make-believed). This paper argues that this assumption about nonfiction is unsatisfying. Focusing on memoir and art criticism, I show that central nonfiction genres are not governed primarily by norms of belief. If nonfiction is not unified by an expectation or invitation to believe, then the make-believe/belief contrast cannot mark the boundary between fiction and nonfiction. We therefore need a more nuanced account of what, if anything, unifies nonfiction, if only to provide a more stable foundation for theorizing about fiction.
