“…They have, for example, examined the ways in which fictional media provide inaccurate representations of science and medicine ( Collee, 1999 ; Kirby, 2003 ; Manfredini, 1999 ) and also shape the public’s understanding of and engagement with science ( Bourdaa et al, 2013 ; Dudo et al, 2010 ; Stilgoe, Lock, & Wilsdon, 2014 ; Van Den Bulck, 2002 ; Van Riper, 2003 ). Alongside such concerns with ‘factual accuracy’, researchers have also examined the ways in which fictional media produce narratives about science and medicine through, inter alia , the collective framings of bioethics ( Chambers, 2001 ; Montello, 2005 ); broader social concerns about humanity in a changing scientific landscape ( Lynteris, 2016 ; Nerlich, Clarke, & Dingwall, 2001 ; Pethes, 2005 ; Wald, 2008 ); and the portrayal and communication of risk ( Mairal, 2011 ; Nerlich, Clarke, & Dingwall, 2000 ). As Foucault (2002) has argued, texts play an active role in shaping and constructing reality, so fictional media provide more than mere representation or expression of collective concerns.…”
