Since I landed in this city fifteen years ago, I’ve lived alone in a cramped and dim illegal sublet a minute’s walk from the red-light district Pigalle.

  • Welles Explores Truth in Deception NOVEMBER 20, 2015 2:04 AM0 COMMENTS by NICK SWAN
    AiA Art News-service F is for Fake: Welles Explores Truth in Deception NOVEMBER 20, 2015 2:04 AM0 COMMENTS By NICK SWAN Orson Welles’ documentary F is for Fake is as much an exploration of one filmmaker’s idiosyncratic technique, as it is a philosophical debate about authenticity and expertise. COURTESY OF SPECIALTY FILMS Released in 1974, F is for Fake is Orson Welles’ last completed film — the culmination of an extensive and acclaimed career in artistic media.The beginning of Welles’ work actually existed not in film, but rather in theatre and radio. In 1937, Welles wrote a modern adaptation of and starred in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Although it premiered in an independent theatre, Caesar was soon moved to Broadway, where it ran until 1941. Welles burst onto the radio platform when, in 1938, he delivered the infamous “War of the Worlds” broadcast. Despite its notoriety for the panic and widespread hysteria that it caused, this broadcast additionally served to exemplify and draw attention to Welles’ skills in dramatic acting and oration His talent would make him a household name a few years after the zenith of Welles’ career, Citizen Kane. Widely regarded as one of the greatest works in the history of film, Citizen Kane depicts the life of the fictional Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles. His performance in this role is marked by moments of boisterous rhetoric as well as more nuanced scenes of passionate drama. Welles also directed and co- wrote Citizen Kane; The film’s revolutionary fast-paced editing and montage segments exhibit Welles’ unique cinematic vision and would influence not only his later work, but also the technique of many future directors.

  • ENC 1145 Writing About Fraud
    Kozak 1 ENC 1145 Writing About Fraud Anastasia Kozak Spring 2015, Section 7401 Class periods: MWF 6 (12:50 - 1:40 pm) Location: MAT 0105 Office hours: MW 5 (11:45 am -12:35 pm) in TUR 4412 Email: [email protected] Instructor’s home page: http://plaza.ufl.edu/kozak/ Canvas site for ENC 1145: https://lss.at.ufl.edu/ Course Overview Confidence tricks, counterfeiting, Ponzi schemes, identity theft – we are both fascinated and threated by fraud and its manifestations. Print culture, in particular, reflects our obsession with sensationalist cases of fraudulence across several genres: fiction, non-fiction, and journalism. In this course, students will read works of fiction about fraud as well as learn about real-life cases of literary fraud in which popular works of non-fiction were subsequently exposed as fictitious. These texts might include Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, Clifford Irving’s The Autobiography of Howard Hughes, and Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Fragments. In addition to analyzing and writing critically about the literature of fraud, students will get a chance to practice in several literary strategies that embrace fraud in creative and productive ways. Ultimately, we will attempt to answer the questions of how fraudulence shapes our worldviews; what is the difference between real-life and fictional fraud; and how our fascination with fraud is connected to the insecurities about our own authenticity and origins. Learning Outcomes The aim of the course is to help students acquire

  • The Art of Deception: Aesthetics at the Perimeter of Truth HUM 598: Humanistic Perspectives on the Arts Spring 2011; Thursdays, 10Am-12:50Pm
    The Art of Deception: Aesthetics at the Perimeter of Truth HUM 598: Humanistic Perspectives on the Arts Spring 2011; Thursdays, 10am-12:50pm D. Graham Burnett (History/History of Science) Princeton University hat is the relationship between art and falsehood? A significant tradition for W conceptualizing the arts has long defined their sphere by reference to doubling, fantasy, and betrayal: when we are in the realm of art, we have left the kingdom of the real—and our capacity for proper engagement depends to a considerable degree on our ability to maintain (or at least recover) an awareness of this fact. By these lights, the arts function as something like a safe house for lying, an Elysium for those good deceptions willing to declare themselves. But is all this correct? There are excellent reasons to think not. This course takes up the problem of truth and falsehood in the arts in a sustained way: we will sift the genealogy of current theoretical positions on this issue by means of close reading of classical and recent texts; we will investigate works of art (painting, sculpture, poetry, etc.) that engage these matters, with particular attention to gaming at the margins of the seemingly stable categories; we will weigh the political and critical implications of different postures in this large arena; and we will experiment with new perspectives and practices. WEEK 1: Introduction and Organizational Meeting (no reading) WEEK 2: Art and Truth: Confidence Games Herman Melville, The Confidence-Man; His Masquerade, [1857] (There are various suitable editions; I use the Library of America volume, which lumps this novella together with Pierre and various other things, but feel free to read it in any decent copy).

T It was almost by accident, and related to his penurious circumstances following World War II, that de Hory began offering works he had created in the style of other artists as genuine works by them. A wealthy acquaintance visiting his Paris studio in 1946 noted a drawing he had made in the manner of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) and offered to buy it. De Hory sold it to her knowing she believed it to be a Picasso.

    AiA Art News-service Clifford Irving, Author of a Notorious Literary Hoax, Dies at 87 By WILLIAM GRIMESDEC. 20, 2017 Photo Clifford Irving, left, facing reporters in 1972, as a grand jury in Manhattan took up the literary-hoax case against him. CreditJack Manning/The New York Times Clifford Irving, who perpetrated one of the biggest literary hoaxes of the 20th century in the early 1970s when he concocted a supposedly authorized autobiography of the billionaire Howard Hughes based on meetings and interviews that never took place, died on Tuesday at a hospice facility near his home in Sarasota, Fla. He was 87. His wife, Julie Irving, confirmed the death. She said he was admitted to the hospice over the weekend after receiving a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer about a week ago. Mr. Irving hit on the idea for “The Autobiography of Howard Hughes” after reading “The Case of the Invisible Billionaire,” an article about him published in the December 1970 issue of Newsweek. Hughes, a notorious eccentric and recluse who had not spoken to the press since 1958, had just quit Las Vegas to take up residence on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Mr. Irving, a modestly successful novelist and nonfiction writer, was intrigued. He had recently published an as-told-to memoir, “Fake!: The Story of Elmyr de Hory, the Greatest Art Forger of Our Time.” Perhaps inspired by his subject, he came up with a wild scheme. He convinced editors at McGraw-Hill, his publisher, that Hughes had contacted him to express admiration for “Fake!” and proposed collaborating on a similar project.

All students who take my training are required to write a research paper. The previous issue of our journal and this issue of our journal contain some of these research papers. You do not have to write a research paper to have an article published in our journal. I recommend that all members of IADE write articles. Not only does it enable members to share their knowledge and experience, one of the criteria of the expert witness field is being published. The first question I am asked when I meet an expert from another field is, “Are you published?” Writing for the journal adds to your credentials and demonstrates that you truly are an expert in your field.
