摘要

在这篇关于非洲造假的特刊中，我列举了一些学术造假的例子。我指出，我们的领域充斥着虚假，并问，把这些虚假不仅视为真实，而且视为我们最珍视的东西，有什么利害关系?我认为，赝品和赝品并不是特殊的和离经叛道的形式，而是学术界，尤其是非洲研究学术界所特有的。我认为，承认我们周围学术界的很多东西都是假的，承认许多做法都是假的，将使我们能够更公开地谈论塑造知识生产的权力和资源的等级制度和不平等。

Academic Fakes

ABSTRACT In this contribution to the special issue on Fakery in Africa, I catalogue some examples of academic fakes. I show that our fields are shot through with fakery, and ask what is at stake in holding these fakes up not only as real, but as what we value most highly. Fakes and fakery, I suggest, are not exceptional and deviant forms, but are in fact endemic to academia, and in particular to African Studies scholarship. Acknowledging that much around us in academia is fake, and admitting that many practices are fakery, I argue, will allow us to talk more openly about the hierarchies and inequalities of power and resources that shape knowledge production.

期刊介绍： The Journal of African Cultural Studies publishes leading scholarship on African culture from inside and outside Africa, with a special commitment to Africa-based authors and to African languages. Our editorial policy encourages an interdisciplinary approach, involving humanities, including environmental humanities. The journal focuses on dimensions of African culture, performance arts, visual arts, music, cinema, the role of the media, the relationship between culture and power, as well as issues within such fields as popular culture in Africa, sociolinguistic topics of cultural interest, and culture and gender. We welcome in particular articles that show evidence of understanding life on the ground, and that demonstrate local knowledge and linguistic competence. We do not publish articles that offer mostly textual analyses of cultural products like novels and films, nor articles that are mostly historical or those based primarily on secondary (such as digital and library) sources. The journal has evolved from the journal African Languages and Cultures, founded in 1988 in the Department of the Languages and Cultures of Africa at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. From 2019, it is published in association with the International African Institute, London. Journal of African Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal also publishes an occasional Contemporary Conversations section, in which authors respond to current issues. The section has included reviews, interviews and invited response or position papers. We welcome proposals for future Contemporary Conversations themes.
