Transformation of "Facts"
In "Reiterated Fact-Making," Daniel Navon delves into the evolving nature of scientific facts, especially in genetics and neurodevelopment. Using a framework called "reiterated fact-making," Navon examines how certain scientific facts about genetic variants—like XYY, Fragile X, and the 22q11.2 microdeletion—have shifted in meaning and application over time due to changing social, scientific, and clinical contexts. Through a comparative-historical approach, the study reveals how these genetic facts are influenced by networks of expertise, societal mobilization, and historical dependencies, blending both stability and transformation in scientific knowledge.
