“This is the Only Way to Go”: The Online and Offline Life of Fake Certificates in Kenya

Presentation by Junnan Mu (Harvard University)

e

The state's enhanced capacities of digital governance have brought the production and circulation of fake certificates to the public fore in Kenya. By tracing the social life of fake certificates, I will show how the converged affordances of urban space and digital space reconcile and transform contrasting meanings of forgery and credentials in contemporary Kenya.
