ISBN: 0415968313 ISBN-13: 9780415968317 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $52.20 Product Type: Hardcover Published: August 2003 Annotation: In "Cultures of Forgery," leading literary studies and cultural studies scholars examine the double meaning of the word "forge"-to create or to form, on the one hand, and to make falsely, on the other. Eleven essays take on a broad range of topics, including counterfeit Hitler diaries, the creation of national identity in Bohemia, and Jean-Etienne Liotard's fabricated "Turkish" identity. Each asks how forgery-a process at times deceptive, at times creative-has shaped modern culture and challenged our understandings of authorship and value. |
