Who gets to decide whether something is fake or real? Who gets to decide whether something is fake or real? By which criteria? What do concerns about fakes produce? Where in the world do fakes and fakery come from? Who produces the real?
The Journal of African Cultural Studies would like to launch 14 papers, guest edited by Prof. Patricia Kingori (Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities, University of Oxford) which represents a critical engagement with what is considered fake and those who make accusations of fakery in African spaces. It includes anthropologists, historians, ethicists, sociologists, geographers, and literary studies scholars.
Much like this image inspired by Rorschach’s famous and much debated test of perceptions featured, this collection is intended to engage with our interpretations of what we think we see when we look at Africa, and our imaginations of objects both fake and real and what they represent in African spaces.
