Fälschung und Plagiat als Figuren des Wissens in Künsten und Wissenschaften. Eine philologisch-kulturwissenschaftliche Studie
[Deceptively, similar. Forgery and Plagiarism as Figures of Knowledge in the Arts and Sciences. A Philological and Cultural Study]

As made evident by recent cases of plagiarism in contemporary literature and doctoral theses, public debates on plagiarism and forgery remain trapped in the eternal circle of scandalization and trivialization—yet without ever properly getting to the bottom of the phenomena.
“Deceptively, similar” is the first investigation of forgeries and plagiarism as complementary, related practices. It specifically reads them as symptoms of focal points in cultural history and epistemic moments of crisis. The volume combines specific case studies from the fields of philology, psychoanalysis, the natural sciences, and poetics with theoretical discussions on forgery and/or plagiarism within these disciplines.

The volume also pays attention to the fascinating history of forgeries and plagiarism. After all, literature and works of art are not only being forged and/or plagiarized, but these forgeries and plagiarisms are turned into the subject themselves and worked through with artistic means.
