*Abstract:*

*What is a “false image”? This question is as old as images themselves and
is present in diverse yet highly interconnected social domains (religion,
science, art, journalism...)..*

*Yet in recent years, this question has acquired new importance. First,
because of the alleged loss of objective patterns for assessing the
truthfulness, accountability and reliability of the information we receive
about the world, including images –what is usually known as “Post-truth”.
Second, due the emergence of a new regimes of images whose trustworthiness
seems difficult to assess only the basis of aesthetic criteria. This is the
case of deep-fakes, IA realistic “photographs” or anticipatory images (that
is, images “showing” how the future may look like), among many others. *

*But how do people engage with the uncertainty of images in their
day-to-day life? How is the “authenticity” and “forgery” of images
“crafted", “assessed” and “experienced” in specific socio-cultural milieu?
How is the principle of the “visual fake” applied in the fields of
religion, science, social networks, or photojournalism? *

*This panel welcomes presentations dealing with ethnographies of visual
(mis)trust. It also invites scholars who recursively reflect upon the
experimental methodologies and languages we may employ to study the ethics
of contemporary and future images and to use images ethically in our
fieldwork in order to establish relationships of trust with the
participants in their research.*

*This panel is linked to the ERC-consolidator Grant “VISUAL TRUST.
Reliability, accountability and forgery in scientific, religious and social
images” (IP: Roger Canals).*
