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, this volume explores the question through a diverse range of empirical cases, including click farms, magicians, spirit possession, images of celebrity, 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.
