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 include a book presentation by the editors, comments from
distinguished commentators Gabriella Coleman, Stephen Turner and Amade
M'charek and a Q&A session.
Participants will be offered a 50% discount code for the book.
