Authenticity: The Cultural History of a Political Concept

Authenticity is everywhere: political leaders invoke the idea to gain our support, advertisers use it to sell their products. This cultural history of authenticity is of interest to academic and lay readers alike, who are interested in the significance and history of a concept that shapes how we understand ourselves and the world we live in.

Autenticitatea este peste tot: liderii politici invoca ideea pentru a obtine sprijinul nostru, agentii de publicitate il folosesc pentru a-si vinde produsele. Aceasta istorie culturala a autenticitatii este de interes atat pentru cititorii academici, cat si pentru laici, care sunt interesati de semnificatia si istoria unui concept care modeleaza modul in care ne intelegem pe noi insine si lumea in care traim.
