From the highly influential concept of 'staged authenticity'
discussed by Dean MacCannell, to the general claim of longing for
authenticity on behalf of all Western consumers, made by Joseph
Pine and James Gilmore, it is obvious that the concept of
authenticity is still worth considering. This ground-breaking book
re-thinks and re-invests in the notion of authenticity as a surplus
of experiential meaning and feeling that derives from what we do at
/ in places. In Re-investing Authenticity - Tourism, Place and
Emotions international scholars representing a wide range of
disciplines, examine contemporary performances of authenticity in
travel and tourism practices: From cultural place branding to
individual pilgrim performances; from intensified experiences of
imaginary crime scenes to the rhetorical features of the encounter
with the traumatic and; from photography performing memories of
place to experiences of wilderness producing excitement, this book
demonstrates how the feeling of authenticity within places is
produced.
