Forging, Faking, Counterfeiting. Discredited Practices at the Margins of Mimesis, Forgeries are mimetic practices of unique cultural, economic and political relevance. They alter reality, make history and perform cultural work. The conference aims to engage an interdisciplinary dialogue on the potential impacts of fakes, involving literature, performance and media studies as well as art history, with their diverging media and multiple concepts of the original. The debate will focus on faking as process, fakes in intercultural contexts and the forgery of traditions. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 29.10.2015 | Speaker: Henry Keazor | Moderation: Christopher Balme, Simone Niehoff
