Rochesterʼs Alexander Bendo and the Dynamics of Forgery and Illusion in 17th-Century Art Aping the Master. 19th-Century Voltaire Pastiches and the Anxieties of Modern Authorship Fracture, Facture and the Collecting of Islamic Art Shape-shifters of Transculturation. Giovanni Bastianiniʼs Forgeries as Embodiment of an Aesthetic Patriotism Fake Supreme. William Gaddis and the Art of Recognition Reflections on Plagiarismin Jorge Luis Borgesʼs Works. The case of Pablo Katchadjianʼs El Aleph engordado?I have chosen to write notes on imaginary books?. On the Forgery of Textual Sources Faked Translations. James Macphersonʼs Ossianic Poetry Creating a Cult, Faking Relics. The Case of St. Dominic of Soriano Desiring Fakes. AI, Avatars, and the Body of Fake Information in Digital Art Unmasking the Fake. Theatrical Hoaxes from the Dreadnought Hoax to Contemporary Artivist Practice.
Summary: Forgeries are an omnipresent part of our culture. They are closely related to historically and culturally informed ideas of authenticity, legality, authorship, creativity, tradition and innovation. Based on the concept of mimesis, the volume illustrates that forgeries are thus not to be understood as a negative copy or disgraced rip-off of an original - but as an autonomous aesthetic practice, a creative act in itself. The contributions focus on such different implementations such as faked traditions, pseudotranslations, imposters, identity theft, and hoaxes in different arts and historic contexts. Most importantly, they scrutinize the bonds and borders between original and forgery, and turn out their epistemic capability.
