Scientific fabulation

Emily Höckert

Chapter 83 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Innovation Management, 2025, pp 312-313 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Amid the multiple ecological crises at present, this entry approaches responsible innovation as a creative and collaborative process that recognizes the agency of other-than-human species. Drawing on the environmental humanities, it introduces the genre of scientific fables that can stretch our imaginations and circles of care beyond human-centric understandings of well-being and knowledge. Unlike classical fables, this kind of transdisciplinary storytelling does not provide moral lessons or simple categories of good and bad, yet it seeks to hesitate, complicate, and make multiple voices heard. Importantly, scientific fables can offer us hope and strength to persevere with wicked problems with others.
