Evan's project incorporates theory and methods from the folkloristic study of legendry in order to reimagine certain popular mass media hoax narratives as productive sites for the examination of legend structure, transmission, and aesthetics -- along with participatory
culture. The question of authenticity has often plagued cultural studies, even leading to the outright dismissal of many materials labeled derisively as "fakelore" and "invented tradition." Conversely, this study of hoax-lore seeks to expand (rather than delimit)
the generic parameters of legendry in an attempt to answer the fundamental question, "What exactly rings so true about a well-told lie?"</span></p>
