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? Edited by leading scholars in the
field, this volume explores the question through a diverse range of
empirical cases, including magicians, spirit possession, fake
Instagram followers, fake art and fraudulent scientists. Proposing
'thinking with imposters' as a valuable new tool of analysis in the
social sciences and humanities, this revolutionary book shows how
the figure of the imposter can help upend social theory.
