In just a few decades, the field of non-fiction research has become an established one, with its own journals, professorships, and textbooks. Yet criticism has also grown: Has the term “non-fiction” become so all-encompassing as to lose precision? Has research done within the field become too narrow, despite a view of texts that extends from tram tickets and milk carton blurbs to legal code and multi-volume history surveys? This anthology brings together researchers who, each in their own way, challenge established non-fiction research, based on their own fields and perspectives. All of the contributions also attempt to point out new paths this type of research can take. A recurrent question is whether the time has come to view “non-fiction research” not as a separate field, but as an open, multidisciplinary, and multi-voiced area of ​​research that revolves around research on the myriad of texts that help shape the society we live in. Non-fiction. Research. New Perspectives on Non-Fiction is aimed at researchers, students and teachers, but will also be of interest to publishers, bureaucrats, critics and anyone else who is concerned with understanding both non-fiction research and the texts that are researched.
