In Search of Authenticity

Abstract

abstract After showing that authenticity is socially constructed rather than an attribute of that which is called authentic, we examine the authenticity work involved in claiming authenticity and discuss the processes of authentication. We then explore the situations in which the quest for authenticity makes for change and conclude by showing that the salience of authenticity can change.
