Forgeries are an omnipresent part of our culture and closely
related to traditional ideas of authenticity, legality, authorship,
creativity, and innovation. Based on the concept of mimesis, this
volume illustrates how forgeries must be understood as autonomous
aesthetic practices - creative acts in themselves - rather than as
mere rip-offs of an original work of art. The proceedings bring
together research from different scholarly fields. They focus on
various mimetic practices such as pseudo-translations, imposters,
identity theft, and hoaxes in different artistic and historic
contexts. By opening up the scope of the aesthetic implications of
fakes, this anthology aims to consolidate forging as an autonomous
method of creation.
