  1. Negotiating Authenticity in Technological Environments.Siri Beerends & Ciano Aydin - 2021 - Philosophy and Technology 34 (4):1665-1685.
    Essentialists understand authenticity as an inherent quality of a person, object, artifact, or place, whereas constructionists consider authenticity as a social creation without any pre-given essence, factuality, or reality. In this paper, we move beyond the essentialist-constructionist dichotomy. Rather than focusing on the question whether authenticity can be found or needs to be constructed, we hook into the idea that authenticity is an interactive, culturally informed process of negotiation. In addition to essentialist and constructionist approaches, we discuss a third, less (...)

  • Self-Experience in the Theme Park of Radical Action?: Social Movements and Political Articulation in the Late-Modern Condition.Ingolfur Blühdorn - 2006 - European Journal of Social Theory 9 (1):23-42.
    In accordance with the established view that the new social movements since the late 1960s have always pursued an agenda of comprehensive societal change, the new wave of movement activism since the late 1990s has widely been interpreted as evidence of the emergence of a new global movement for a radically different society. A critique of the one-sided reliance in social movement research on traditional actor-centred approaches leads to a systems-centred conceptualization of late-modern society, and via the diagnosis of its (...)

  • Cultivating Carrots and Community: Local Organic Food and Sustainable Consumption.Gill Seyfang - 2007 - Environmental Values 16 (1):105-123.
    This paper examines the social implications of sustainable consumption through an empirical study of a local organic food initiative. It sets out an analytical framework based upon Douglas's Cultural Theory to categorise the range of competing value perspectives on sustainable consumption into 'hierarchical', 'individualistic' and 'egalitarian' worldviews, and considers how these various worldviews might each adopt locally-grown organic food as a sustainable consumption initiative. Tensions between the paradigms are evident when attention is turned to a case study of a local (...)

  • Authentic Journalism? A Critical Discussion about Existential Authenticity in Journalism Ethics.Kristoffer Holt - 2012 - Journal of Mass Media Ethics 27 (1):2-14.
    Authenticity as an ideal is construed in general as an expression of existentialist unhappiness with the perceived dehumanization of man in modern society. Existential journalism can be seen as rejection of the demands of conformism and compromise of personal convictions that many journalists face. Ethically, existential journalism calls on journalists to live authentic lives, as private individuals as well as in their profession. This means to resist external pressures and to choose to follow a path that can be defended by (...)
