Literary notes about expertise (AI summary)
In literature, the word expertise is deployed in a variety of contexts to highlight specialized knowledge, technical skills, or professional competence. It often appears in discussions of technical proficiency, as when characters rely on “technical expertise” to solve complex problems ([1], [2]), or when military superiority is attributed to a greater proficiency in tactics ([3], [4]). At times, it frames the subtle nuances of professional or artistic domains, serving both as a mark of cultivated skill in diagnosing challenges ([5]) and as an indicator of societal value brought by immigrant professionals ([6], [7]). Equally, expertise is used to evoke personal mastery—whether in the quiet resignation of relinquished skill ([8]) or in the confident yet cautious admission of a field not well known ([9], [10]). Thus, across narratives, expertise functions as a multifaceted concept that denotes the precise boundaries and sometimes the shortcomings of human skill ([11], [12]).
