Online book launch of ”The Imposter as Social Theory” featuring Gabriella Coleman, Steve Woolgar, Else Vogel, David Moats and Claes-Fredrik Helgesson
***Apologies for cross-posting*** We are pleased to invite you to the online launch of the recently published volume, The Imposter as Social Theory, edited by Steve Woolgar, Else Vogel, David Moats and Claes-Fredrik Helgesson. Date: 22 September, 16:00-17:30 CET Registration (no later than 19 September!): https://doit.medfarm.uu.se/bin/kurt3/kurt/24681 The figure of the imposter can stir complicated emotions, from intrigue to suspicion and fear. But what insights can these troublesome figures provide into the social relations and cultural forms from which they emerge? This volume explores the question through a diverse range of empirical cases, including magicians, spirit possession, fake Instagram followers, fake art and fraudulent scientists. The event will be hosted by Paul Stevens from Bristol University Press and will include a book presentation by the editors, comments from distinguished commentators, including Gabriella Coleman and a Q&A session. (Attendees will be offered a limited 50% discount code for the book.)
