The essays collected in this volume explore this paradoxical nature of authenticity in the context of various media. They give ample proof of the fact that authenticity, which depends on giving the impression of being inherent or natural, found not created, frequently turns out to be the result of a careful aesthetic construction that depends on the use of identifiable techniques with the aim of achieving certain effects for certain reasons. 1 04 23 2012 03 15 2014 978-3-8376-1757-3 978-3-8394-1757-7 transcript Verlag Bielefeld, Germany 10.14361/transcript.9783839417577 https://www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-1757-3 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.14361/transcript.9783839417577/pdf https://transcript.degruyter.com/view/title/466267 https://www.inlibra.com/10.14361/transcript.9783839417577
