| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we examined novels of popular science from three perspectives (epistemology, pedagogy, aesthetics). When authors chose the subjects of novels, they highly considered educational necessities as well as literary effectiveness. To attract and maintain readers’ attention, they tried to present visual effects by making the most of rhetorical effects (metaphor, metonymy, analogy). Furthermore, those novels existed not only for the diffusion of scientific knowledge but also for ideological education. In process of scientific knowledge’s popularization, authors combined what they teach with ideological messages, which are republican and progressive. We can conclude the massive appearance of novels of popular science in the 19th century come from the ideological demand for education of future republican citizens. On the other hand, those novels had a strong scholar incidence, as their literary style and form would become an educational model in French scientific pedagogy.
