This volume contains an Open Access Chapter. Authenticity has
become a buzzword for our times. Much of the travel industry is
built around the provision of ‘authentic’ experiences, global
brands fight to be seen as ‘authentic’ and social media
platforms are awash with arguments about the authenticity of this
post or that vlogger. But what do we mean by authenticity? And why
have these debates grown so dramatically in the last two decades?
This collection explores the complex and at times controversial
idea of authenticity. Addressing the concept from an
interdisciplinary perspective and offering a diverse range of
topical cases, the authors bring together the latest empirical and
conceptual scholarship addressing authenticity and its centrality
to debates about contemporary culture, media and society. In this
way, the authors are able to pinpoint the growing significance of
the concept of authenticity, the various ways in which different
disciplines approach the topic, and possible ways of advancing the
field across disciplines. With sections covering travel and
tourism, branding and marketing, popular culture, social media and
political communication this exciting and innovative collection
will make fascinating and crucial reading for scholars and students
across the social sciences and humanities, and helps to define what
these different disciplines mean by authenticity.
This edited collection explores the continuing appeal of
nationalism around the world. The authors' ground-breaking research
demonstrates the ways in which national priorities and
sensibilities frame an extraordinary array of activities, from
classroom discussions and social media posts to global
policy-making, as well as identifying the value that can come from
feeling part of a national community, especially during times of
economic uncertainty and social change. They also note how
attachments to nation can often generate powerful emotions,
happiness and pride as well as anger and frustration, which can be
used to mobilize substantial numbers of people into action.
Featuring contributions from leading social scientists across a
range of disciplines, including sociology, geography, political
science, social psychology, media and cultural studies, the book
presents a number of case studies covering a range of countries
including Russia, Germany, New Zealand, Serbia, Japan, Azerbaijan,
Greece and the USA. Everyday Nationhood will appeal to students and
scholars of nationalism, globalization and identity across the
social sciences as well as those with an interest in understanding
the role of nationalism in shaping some of the most pressing
political crises- migration, economic protectionism, populism - of
the contemporary era.
