Sommario/riassunto: | The topic of deception is an area of study that has fascinated researchers and readers alike for generations. From infamous tales of espionage and conspiracy, to the targeted deception of illusionists and magicians, and notorious examples of deceptive statements and actions in public life, the concept of deception is widely recognised by the general public. The pervasive nature of deception and deceit, permeating all facets of life from the annals of history to the present day, means that it is an area of research that benefits substantially from an approach that crosses conventional academic and research boundaries. This collection represents an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept of deception, expanding the readers’ awareness and understanding of a range of areas including the portrayal of deception in literature and spy fiction, the existence and success of literary hoaxes, deception and illusion in visual art, and the use of deception in both strategic and interpersonal contexts. |
