Reading Group: Lying and Deception

In this reading group we will be discussing a variety of texts dealing with issues related to these two concepts. What constitutes a lie? Is it possible to deceive by saying something true? Can one lie with pictures?

The reading group will meet fortnightly from February to June 2023. Sessions will have an hibrid format. If you are interested in participating, please get in touch with the coordinators, Marc Artiga (marc.artiga@uv.es) and Sergi Rosell (sergi.rosell@uv.es).
