Philip Dick, Man In The High Castle - Historicity, Artifacts, And Fakery - Sadler’s Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle It focuses specifically on the commerce that develops in Americana artifacts collected by Japanese elites. One of the main characters of the work, Robert Childan owns a shop that provides such artifacts. What is supposed to give these their value is their historicity, their involvement in and being bearers of American history, but there is also a thriving industry producing fake artifacts as well.
