Abstract: The volume presents a collection of papers focussing on the topic of “lies” in its different textual ‘manifestations’ and ‘communicative’ declinations, and can be understood in terms of imagination, invention, artifice, dissimulation, disfiguration and manipulation. The volume is divided into three macro-sections: literature, philology and linguistics, and the arts. The literary section contains a ramification of reflections, which provides a multi-perspective view. “Lies” are analyzed as a topic and become an object of literary criticism, entering into a mutable geo-cultural landscape. The second section of philology and linguistics adopts, instead, a diachronic approach: investigations on “lies” range from the manuscript tradition to digital communication. The third and last section, which confirms the interdisciplinary and transmedial nature of this volume, is dedicated to strategies of representation and dissimulation in relation to the different forms of art, including theatre, television series, docufiction and other performing arts. The volume ends with an appendix, which contains the reproduction of paintings presented on the occasion of the exhibition that accompanied the Graduate Conference of the PhD Programme in Literary, Linguistic and Comparative Studies at the University of Naples “L’Orientale”.
