Download or read book Critique of Authenticity written by Thomas Claviez and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume provides a critical assessment of the concept of authenticity and gauges its role, significance and shortcomings in a variety of disciplinary contexts. Many of the contributions communicate with each other and thus acknowledge the enormous significance of this politically, morally, philosophically and economically-charged concept that at the same time harbors dangerous implications and has been critically deconstructed. The volume shows that the alleged need or desire for authenticity is alive and kicking but oftentimes comes at a high price, connected to a culture of experts, authority and exclusionary strategies.
