The study of material culture demonstrates that objects make people just as much as
people make, exchange and consume objects. But what if these objects are, in the eyes
of others, only fakes? What kind of material mirror are people looking into? Are their
real selves really reflected in this mirror? This book provides an original and revealing
study into engagements with objects that are not what they are claimed and presumed
to be and, subsequently, are believed to betray their makers as well as users. Drawing
upon an ethnography of fake branded garments in Turkey and Romania, this book shows
how people can make authentic positions for themselves in and through fake objects.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars working in the fields of anthropology,
material culture and cultural studies as well as to general readers interested in
ethnographic alternatives to biographies of famous fakers and fakes
