There have always been competing perspectives between self-descriptions and descriptions of oneself by others. It is this interplay that determines the current effects and the lasting impact of self-fashionings - and produces the distinction between 'Dichtung und Wahrheit' (facts and fiction), between illusion and reality. Morphomata’s annual conference thus questions the cultural, historical, and medial figures of these distinctions in case studies from antiquity to the present. 385 Seiten mit 43 Textabb. sowie 16 Farbtafeln, broschiert (Morphomata; Vol. 42/Wilhelm Fink Verlag 2019) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
