Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Advancements in web technology such as the integration of operating platforms, the application of mobile applets and connectivity with databases into an encompassing web environment has promoted the development of complex web-based systems for enterprise computing. In this integration the inherent security flaws and associated problems of these technological advancements are also brought together under this web environment. These flaws, when exploited, could lead to system compromises of various kinds including stealing of security sensitive information, system take-over fabrication of fake electronic documents and illegal alteration to web sites contents. Therefore, the successful, prompt and appropriate responses of these complex web-based systems to security threats and breaches, such as in the cases of document tampering and misrepresentation from illegal users, are imperative in promoting the user's willingness and confidence when interacting with these systems. Accordingly, this has become one of the major concerns in development, management and operation of web-based systems. This thesis also studies the authentication of dynamic web contents through the application of a one-time digital signature. To this effect, relevant concepts and possible approaches have been discussed. Authentication and verification of dynamic contents, efficiently in the web environment, is suggested as a separate research area and as a direction for future work.Master of Science (Honours) Computing

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2008.Includes bibliographical references (p. 123-125).
This thesis analyzes the impact of form-based codes, focusing on two research questions: (1) What is the underlying motivation for adopting a form-based code? (2) What motivations have the most significant impact on development outcomes? This thesis answers these two questions through an evaluation of form-based code literature and an analysis of three recent form-based codes case studies: SmartCode for Taos, New Mexico, Downtown Specific Plan for Ventura, and SmartCode for Leander, Texas. For each case study, this thesis reviews the historical context of each community, the political process that brought about the form-based code, and the components of the coding document. After considering all three case studies, this thesis formulates conclusions about a range of motivations underlying the use of form-based codes as well as which motivations will have the most significant impact on how form-based codes will shape the built environment. Form-based coding is a relatively new regulatory tool, and has recently been standardized through the creation of the Form-Based Codes Institute (FBCI) in 2005. Using the FBCI's criteria for a form-based code, this thesis evaluates the components of each case study's coding document. Insight into each coding document is supplemented by personal interviews, site visits and background materials that paint a holistic picture of what each community is striving to achieve through a form-based code. The range of motivations for a form-based reached within the conclusion of this thesis include: 1. Preservation of Community Character 2. Creation of Community Character 3. Economic Development 4. Affordable Housing 5. Control of Sprawl.
(cont.) This list does not represent a complete range of motivations for all form-based codes, but rather the motivations uncovered from the cases reviewed in this thesis. Based on these motivations, the author makes a conclusion that Preservation of Community Character has the most significant impact on the built environment. This conclusion is based on literature on city form theory that suggests history provides security through the built form and thus is significant to the psychological and physical nourishment of its inhabitants. This psychological stability is more powerful than any other motivation and will have a lasting impact on how the city evolves into the future.

Authenticity is what we want from the world around us, from others, and crucially from ourselves and what we make. As it relates to graphic design, I define authenticity as a perceived match between form and purpose. For the designer, its quality is found in the process of simultaneously developing a concept and crafting the design/object.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis examines how authenticity is articulated and communicated in contemporary forms of branded entertainment. In a digital media landscape, participatory culture and co-creation has become of primary importance, leading to ‘authentic’ and ‘amateurist’ characteristics being strategically implemented in advertisements and professional media content production. At the same time, research on brand communication and authenticity have overlooked the many ways in which brands extend and mediate authenticity, especially in relation to symbolism and visual semiotics. In this thesis, we explore the way symbolic meaning is constructed in We the Bathers, a documentary produced in 2019 by director Phoebe Arnstein in collaboration with Lush, a cosmetic brand known for their vegan-friendly and cruelty-free products. The study was conducted using visual analysis which allows us to approach the study object in a qualitative and exploratory way. We then apply the theoretical frameworks of cultural myths and digital storytelling to analyze the effects and strategies employed in We the Bathers to communicate authenticity through the filmic medium. By extending Bell & Leonard’s framework for evaluating organizational storytelling, which highlights the role of the communicative codes of affinity, authenticity andamateurism, we argue that the overall notion of authenticity in video content produced for digital environments can be determined through either of these lenses. By examining the intention of the sender in terms of genuineness (authenticity), relatability (affinity), and techniques which lends the story a sense of ‘realness’ (amateurism), our findings indicate that authenticity can be viewed as a tool for producing certain media effects as opposed to arising from the mediation of inherent personality traits.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The assessment and protection of the authenticity of digital records and data are recognized as fundamental issues for the records’ current use as well as for their long-term preservation and dissemination. Over the past twenty years, the matter of how to define, determine, and guarantee the endurance of authenticity has been the subject of research in all evidence-based or memory-based disciplines, including archival science, digital humanities, and law. Despite the wealth of past and current research findings, recommendations, and tools, authenticity is still discussed as an urgent problem for records and data created and maintained in traditional digital technologies as well as in emerging ones, such as cloud technologies, and embedded or wearable technologies.
This study investigates contemporary ideas about authenticity of records and data, and practices employed by records professionals. Based on the archival idea that record authenticity is assessed by establishing its identity and proving its integrity, this study identifies indicators for authenticity and categorizes them as either social or technical mechanisms. Using a mixed methods design, it measures how records professionals ensure, manage, and continuously assess record authenticity and to what extent their practices reflect the results of available research. A web-based survey reached records professionals worldwide through professional listservs, and semi-structured interviews gathered further qualitative data from a sample drawn from the survey respondents.
The results show that the standard archival definition of authenticity is not uniformly accepted or implemented in practice, and terms such as authenticity, reliability, integrity, and provenance are often used interchangeably and with little precision. They also reveal that experience plays a major role, in that professionals who are not required to authenticate records in the course of their work tend to have more confidence in technical mechanisms that those who are. The study concludes that most records professionals ensure authenticity by relying on social mechanisms but have greater confidence in technical mechanisms to authenticate records and data. In other words, records professionals, traditionally the trusted agents of record control (trustees), have frequently become the trustors, placing their trust in technology of which they may have little understanding and even less control.Arts, Faculty of

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
My practice-led research draws on my lived experiences of growing up on the Queensland’s Gold Coast—a city where the 1950s postwar real estate boom led to many motels, hotels, and suburban and holiday homes built in the American architectural vernacular postwar style of cities such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas. This style, described by Juliana Engberg as the transaesthetic, has been copied throughout the world. As such, it is uncoupled from determining factors such as culture and climate and understood as inauthentic. At the same time, its ubiquity and familiarity make it the subject of extensive study and critique. My research focuses on questioning authenticity and its judgement by enabling an authentic experience of such buildings through photography. I ask how can photographs of models of vernacular architecture be used to critique concepts of authenticity within contemporary culture?
My studio methodology combines handmade models of buildings, the poetic imagination, and deadpan photography. I am indebted to Aron Vinegar’s discussion (2009) of Ed Ruscha’s deadpan photography, which highlights deadpan’s relationship to authenticity and what Vinegar terms an open way of being-in-the-world in reference to Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. Vinegar explains how deadpan photography allows us to sit alongside the subject as it is, which enables an open and authentic experience with the models.
By creating spaces triggered by involuntary memories that stem from familiar experiences of my childhood on the Gold Coast, I refer to Gaston Bachelard’s idea that intimate spaces of childhood epitomise the object of daydreaming and the poetic imagination. In addition to Bachelard, I draw on Susan Stewart in considering the role of the miniature as an object of imagination, memory, and authenticity that transcends time and places. As a handmade, unique object, the miniature activates an imaginative realm which enables an authentic experience between the past and the present from the Gold Coast to Los Angeles
I place my work within the field of constructed photography and see parallel interests in the built environment and its affects in the work of Callum Morton, Thomas Demand, and James Casebere. These artists also construct models and photograph them to challenge the parameters of photography and engage with issues of authenticity, truth, and personal and collective memory.
This project addresses how the handmade model object, poetic imagination, and deadpan photography can be linked to communicate a sense of being and authenticity. In combining these elements, I achieve an authentic experience when engaging with so-called inauthentic architecture, demonstrating how the representation of this style of architecture enables new perspectives, interactions, and understandings by being. At the beginning of the project I was working on the Gold Coast, my childhood hometown, and photographing in its intense natural light. I am now using the soft natural Hollywood light in the backyard of my home in Santa Monica, Los Angeles; the light draws together experience, place, memory, imagination, and photography to create an image that evokes the almost blurred experience we have when travelling and encountering a familiar, generic childhood space. The photograph that results from my studio process activates the poetic imagination creating an authentic experience across time and space.Thesis (Professional Doctorate)

Ryan, Lucy. "Counselling psychologists' talk of 'authenticity' : exploring the implications of 'authenticity' discourse for ethical practice". Thesis, University of Roehampton, 2012. https://pure.roehampton.ac.uk/portal/en/studentthesis/counselling-psychologists-talk-of-authenticity-exploring-the-implications-of-authenticity-discourse-for-ethical-practice(ecccff77-190f-4c46-96e5-9eaebc2da074).html.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This research explores how ‘authenticity’ is constructed in counselling psychology and asks what the ethical implications of this commonly taken-for-granted value might be. A discourse analytic approach known as ‘critical discursive psychology’ was used to examine eight counselling psychologists’ talk of ‘authenticity’ in semi-structured interviews. The analysis suggested that counselling psychologists may draw on a number of interpretative repertoires regarding ‘authenticity’, using them to establish their identity and negotiate their relationships with clients. However, taken together these repertoires might be said to form an ‘authenticity ideal’, which often functions to position the therapist as authentic and the client as inauthentic. Furthermore, in drawing upon various psychotherapeutic and humanistic discourses, the participants in this study appeared to be distanced from their power in positioning clients as inauthentic, although they demonstrated a problematizing of their own ‘authenticity’ in relation to the need for professional boundaries. This research suggests that talk of ‘authenticity’ tends to locate therapeutic action within a humanistic moral discourse of self-unity. This is of concern because the emphasis on individualism may lead therapists to underestimate the social and relational context of their clients’ difficulties. It should be noted that this critique falls not on the individuals involved in this research, for their answers were consistent with a range of accepted theoretical guidelines; but instead upon the reification of authenticity within counselling psychology and Western society in general. The participants in this study further problematized ‘authenticity’ in terms of needing to balance it with the demands of training and employment organisations. It was found that ii both institutional power and individual embodiment may act as ‘extra-discursive’ influences and constraints upon ‘authenticity’ discourse; however, the methodological feasibility of a critical-realist epistemology within discursive research is questioned. The limitations of the research findings and their relevance for reflexive practice are considered.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study undertakes two major issues concerning the authenticity of Nahj al-Balaghah, namely, the compilation and composition of the book. Shii scholars, with almost no exception, have credited the compilation of Nahj al-Balaghah to al-Sharif al-Radi In contrast, Sunni scholars and Orientalists hold different opinions about the matter. The early scholars among Sunnis and their western counterparts mostly credited Murtada with Nahj al-Balaghah, while later scholars generally vacillate between the two brothers. This study attempts to resolve misconceptions concerning the compilation of the book. It also suggests that in all probability Radi is the compiler while there is hardly any evidence to credit Murtada.The problem of the composition of Nahj al-Balaghah, namely, the attribution of its contents to Ali ibn Abi Talib is more problematic. Unlike the Sunni scholars, the Shiis believe that the contents of the book represent Alis discourses. This thesis examines the most important arguments of both opponents and proponents of the authenticity of Nahj al-Balaghah and suggests that since a large portion of the book is present in the earlier sources, the generalization of some Sunni scholars in doubting the entire book cannot be sustained.

Includes bibliographical references (page 123).
Walter Benjamin wrote in his seminal 1935 essay, "that which withers in the age of mechanical reproduction is the aura of the work of art"--an essay that narrowly defines art and the craft of art up until that moment as something that is rooted in site specificity, ritual, uniqueness and non-reproducibility. This conception of art and artistic production fails to acknowledge the networks of transmission, transfer, and transformation that have always existed in parallel with the migration of objects, people and tools circulating the world throughout history. Almost a century after Benjamin's essay on mechanical reproduction, we have entered the digital, the post-digital, the automated, while at times have been nostalgic for the mechanical and the hand-made. That being said, the anxiety surrounding the Aura has in many ways not faded. We still bid wildly at auctions, flock into galleries in pursuit of the new or go on pilgrimages to architectural sites and museums to see and experience the original "in person." We also employ armies of scholars or dealers to find or authenticate the "original". In After Art, David Joselit asks for an expansion of the definition of art to "embrace heterogeneous configurations of relationships or links," freeing art from belonging to any particular time, space or medium, but rather as Pierre Huyghe says, "a dynamic chain that passes through different formats." This thesis attempts to document and utilize these dynamic chains through acts of copying using contemporary tools and conditions such as outsourcing and open sourcing. In experiments in outsourcing, I decided to digitally reproduce ornate, luxurious, objects valued for their rarity in order to make them more easily reproducible. In experiments in tools for copying, I designed a machine by utilizing an open source, anonymous, catalog of parts to imitate expired mechanical copying devices.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In learning to be a yoga teacher, the focus is largely on what is being taught, in other words, the physical techniques such as asana (posture) and pranayama (breath). There is substantially less focus on who teachers are as individuals despite research from neuroscience which suggests that who teachers are may be far more important to students' learning than what they are teaching. This thesis dives into the question of who yoga teachers are as individuals through the lens of authenticity. Drawing on transformative learning theory, Jung's theory of individuation, and the stories of eight teachers who have wrestled deeply with this question, this thesis explores the process of developing authenticity in the context of teaching yoga. This study finds that authenticity results from one's journey of individuation, which although personal in nature is supported by relationship to self, Self and other (mentor, teacher, therapist).

Pearmain, Charles. "Authenticity : an ethic of capacity realisation". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2007. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2427/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
My interests lie in consideration of conceptions of authenticity and inauthenticity from the perspective of ethical theories which conceive of the good for man with reference to human nature and concomitant beliefs regarding the most appropriate realisation of human capacities. Here, I find particular interest in the philosophical styles embodied by the existentialist and Lebensphilosophie movements. Such approaches sit outside the traditional frames of reference provided by deontological and utilitarian approaches to ethical reasoning and yet do I shall argue, share significant similarities with ancient aretaic styles of ethics. Here, I take Aristotle to represent those aspects of ethical thought which are quintessentially of this period of intellectual history. I find not merely points of comparison but a fruitful way in which to re-examine the thought of thinkers such as Nietzsche, Scheler, Heidegger and Sartre with reference to styles of ethical enquiry which place primacy upon an objective conception of happiness which centres upon the appropriate realisation of human capacity understood with reference to Aristotle's Function Argument. I argue that phenomenological analysis shares a conception of self-perspicuity in which the agent reflects upon the full contents of their conscious experience. By this means, certain self-delusions which impede entry into the ethical life, may be removed. Additionally, whilst Aristotle's 'non-law' conception of ethics shares with existentialist thought an understanding of the human situation and its normative concerns in isolation from dualistic and theistic metaphysical speculation, such philosophy is still able to provide clear and objective ethical standards - standards often lacking within existentialism. For instance, whilst Nietzsche's pronouncement of the 'death of God' signals the death also of Christian morality, we find that such philosophy is not without normative implications and in fact can be derived to a large degree from assent towards a radical and more severe ethical self-discipline. Indeed, central certainly to the thought of Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre is an understanding of the role of self-deception in the human condition. Here a useful distinction may be made between those types of self-deception which may be understood as structural that is to say which are representative of an essential characteristic of human being at the abstract level - and those types of self-deception which may be described as 'motivated' or 'psychological' which relate to more specific types of self-deceptive engagement. I believe it is useful to examine both Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre through the lens of such interpretation, I find for instance that it is of use to examine the early Sartre as having a purely structural interpretation of bad faith (described by Jeanson as 'natural' bad-faith) whilst moving towards a psychological account in his later work, an account which has more specific moral implications with the possibility of 'willed conversion' to authenticity (Santoni). Additionally with Nietzsche, we also find a similar distinction between a self-deception which is in some sense preconditional and a motivational account of self-deception in which the agent infused with ressentiment falsifies reality in favour of subjective needs which are ultimately destructive of life-enhancement. In this sense the vicious individual can be said to have achieved merely a false optimum, and moreover, false from an objective standpoint.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis focuses on the question of authenticity in old-time music, and the ways in which it is studied in ETSU’s Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Country Music Studies program. In an academic setting, old-time is often studied in more of a historical or anthropological context and less as a specific style of music. Arguments for authenticity in this music have been made since the popularity of such films as “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Cold Mountain”, which brought a lot of outside attention to the genres of bluegrass and old-time music, as well as defining the aesthetics associated with them. Contemporary composition and performance of old-time music exists, but is not typically studied in an academic setting, or evaluated for how it adds to the musical tradition. The intention of this thesis is to validate the existence of contemporary composition in old-time music, and its authenticity within the genre.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Philosophers who show interest in authenticity tend to narrowly focus on its capacity to help people evade conformity and affirm individuality, a simplistic reduction that neglects authenticity’s moral potential and gives credence to the many critics who dismiss it as a euphemism for excessive individualism. Yet when conceived ethically, authenticity can also allow for worthy human flourishing without falling prey to conformity’s opposite extreme—egoism. This thesis proposes a relational conception of authenticity that can help prevent the often destructive excess of egoism while also offsetting the undesirable deficiency of heteronomy, concertedly moving agents towards socially responsible living. It demonstrates how authenticity necessarily has ethical dimensions when rooted in existentialist and dialogical frameworks. It also defines egoism as a form of self-deception rooted in flawed logic that cannot be considered “authentic” by relational standards. Relational authenticity recognizes the interpersonal relationships and social engagements that imbue meaning into agents’ lives, fostering a balance between personal ambitions and social obligations, and enabling more consistently moral lifestyles.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Iowa history reveals a long-term progressive stance towards implementing civil liberties laws. Yet many outside of the state equate Iowa with staid provincialism because of its rural isolation in the American heartland. Novelist Marilynne Robinsons Gilead brings attention to a little known time in Iowa history when residents were actively involved in the Underground Railroad. Her protagonist, John Ames, recalls family stories of past activism from a hundred year vantage point. Due to the gradual, but pervasive homogeneity of his Iowa small town, Ames struggles with implementing his progressive, yet abstract ethics into practice. Ames journals about his specialized homing in memories, which show how Iowans have struggled with their past and present pursuit of equality and fairness. This essay corroborates Amess recollections with an investigation into place, society and the past, as it relates to rural Iowa communities, by exploring the causality of the states more liberal legislation and the tension created when actual application comes into play. Research of the past reveals that in the absence of historical touchstones common to other regions, Iowans must fall back upon local stories to create continuity. Robinsons Gilead follows unspoken customs in Midwestern storytelling by telling about real events, people, times and places. Gilead was published in 2004, yet Robinsons protagonist lives in 1956. Amess examination of the past, and along with his own struggles, caution of the dangers from resting on the laurels of ones forbearers. The invasion of a subconscious racism in 1956 Gilead offers a warning for todays society, which may have become complacent after the reforms during the 1960s. Yet the blessing Ames eventually is able to give his adult namesake provides a positive model of hope for the future to his young son and wife. Amess testimony encourages Iowans and readers in general about the value of contemplating past history since the stories in Gilead demonstrate a sense of eternal connection with humanity. Additionally, Gileads homing in memories and reflections maintain authenticity according to Iowa analysis while offering hope and encouragement to readers about the value of continuing to strive for fairness and empathy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Films or movies provide us with a window into other places that broaden our knowledge and can fuel our desire to travel. What has become known as film-induced tourism has begun to gather momentum as an area of both academic research and industry interest. However, the phenomenon is wide-ranging and according to Beeton (2005), still a largely untapped and little-understood field of tourism research. Much of the literature to date has focused on the promotional aspects and the impacts of the phenomenon with little research into the motivations of the film-induced tourists themselves. Further, films are not always shot in the place where they are portraying on screen. This has become a common occurrence and it is not unusual for a film to be made in a completely different country from that it portrays. This form of displacement creates issues of authenticity and implications as to where the tourist influenced by such a film will choose to visit. This aspect in film tourism has been mentioned briefly by authors such as Beeton (2005), Hudson and Ritchie (2006) and Shandley et al. (2006) but they have not conducted investigations themselves and to date there have been no in-depth research studies into this aspect of the phenomenon. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate what the author has termed displacement theory within the larger phenomenon of film-induced tourism and to present a clearer understanding of the inherent implications and opportunities for economic development this may bring. Within this the author sought to examine film influence on tourist motivation, tourist views on displacement and authenticity as well as industry opinion on these matters. An interpretivistic research approach was taken utilizing the power of the internet and harnessing the use of specially created blogs to collect qualitative data. The approach was designed to extract data in depth with a select set of bloggers rather than at a superficial level across a wider number of respondents through quantitative survey work. This was then followed up by semi-structured interviews with respective tourism and film organizations throughout the UK and Ireland. Findings reveal that these issues do matter to tourists and that there are three distinct markets in existence which comprise three distinct tourist types in relation to film- induced tourism. This has enabled the author to develop a model of displacement (the first such model in this field of study) which conveys the motivational factors at play on the tourist and what is happening when displacement in film tourism occurs in relation to the three distinct markets. This is then utilized to make key recommendations as to how industry can maximize future potential from film-induced tourism, especially when displacement occurs. The thesis has covered new ground in its contribution to knowledge through addressing a gap in the film-induced tourism literature and providing new theories culminating in a newly developed model to represent what is occurring. Further contribution has been made through the use of innovative methodologies. In this case the use of specially designed blogs to gather qualitative data for the research.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis examines the possibilities of living an authentic life for an alcoholic, both in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous. Authenticity is explored using the existential models put forth by Jean-Paul Sartre and Soren Kierkegaard. Alcoholics Anonymous figures prominently in this analysis. It is suggested that A.A. acts inauthentically in its claims that it is not a religious organization. A.A. creates special problems for female alcoholics because of the sexist and masculinist nature of its primary literature. While A.A. claims that its message is the only way by which an alcoholic can recover, other treatment methods exist. Suggestions are made that A.A. revise its main texts, and two alternative organizations to A.A. are briefly discussed.M.A.

Kinghorn, Shane. "Imitations of authenticity : the uses of verbatim". Thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2017. http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/620854/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This submission interrogates recent and current verbatim theatre practice, spanning the period of its resurgence in the late 1990s to 2016. The seven written pieces, comprising six articles and one book chapter, that make up this PhD feature five examples of UK-based, and one example of eastern European verbatim theatre practice, produced between 1999 (The Colour of Justice, Richard Norton-Taylor) and 2016 (5 Guys Chillin', Peter Darney). My research, taken together, highlights the distinctions in verbatim practice shown in various productions in order to extend knowledge and understanding within comparative discourse. The examples chosen exhibit welcome degrees of aesthetic flair in a field of practice that, in its engagement with urgent, real-world issues and debates, and adherence to the veracity of verbatim testimonies, is typically self-effacing about its theatricality. The title of this PhD expresses the paradox that 'authenticity' can be constructed through theatrical apparatus, and indicates the premise that verbatim material is a fundamentally transportable substance, adaptable to disparate contexts and conditions of practice. The majority of publications evaluate live performances of the featured work, and incorporate interviews with verbatim practitioners, ranging from established artists Alecky Blythe and DV8 to Dah Theatre, disseminating their contradistinctive methodologies. This submission thus exposes innovative approaches to writing, rehearsal, performance and reception, in order to identify, examine and challenge the debates concerned with 'authenticity' and 'truth' central to extant critical discourse. The insights I have drawn from practitioners' first-hand accounts of their practice evidence unique dramaturgical strategies that destabilise established verbatim conventions, contributing alternative methodologies to the field. I have drawn attention to examples of verbatim theatre that have pushed the form from familiar treatments of verbatim material towards the formulation of promiscuous dramaturgies, in order to interrogate and expand applications and definitions of 'truth' and 'authenticity' in verbatim practice and criticism. This contribution to knowledge will be to international theatre scholarship and practice, particularly those scholars and practitioners operating in the domain of political, testimonial and verbatim theatre.

Benjamin, Elizabeth Frances. "The authenticity of ambiguity : Dada and existentialism". Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2015. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/5600/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study. The five chapters analyse a range of Dada work through a lens of Existentialist literary and theoretical works across the themes of choice, alienation, responsibility, freedom and truth. These themes contribute to the overarching claim of the thesis that Dada and Existentialism both advocate the creation of a self that aims for authenticity through ambiguity.

Thesis advisor: Lillie R. AlbertThis study builds on a small, under-acknowledged body of educational works that speak to the problem of an overly technical focus on teaching, which negates a more authentic consideration of what it means to teach, including an exploration of the spiritual and moral dimensions. A need for educational change and the teacher's authentic way of being are presented as the basis for the primary research question: "What does it mean to be an authentic teacher?" The study consists of two equally intensive parts, i.e., a theoretical and empirical investigation. The theoretical developed a framework on authenticity, drawing from the Buddhist and Christian theological traditions; the Twentieth Century philosophical writings of Buber and Heidegger; and the in-depth review of conceptual and empirical educational literature. This framework supported the empirical design, which was a phenomenological study of six teachers in a small Catholic urban K-8 school. An empirical framework on authenticity evolved through the data analysis. Ultimately, the theoretical and empirical parts were integrated into a comprehensive framework on teacher authenticity, defined as follows: Teacher authenticity is a trust that, through the desire and intention to care, the teacher can awaken through teaching a profound life-giving potential for the well-being of oneself, others, and the world. This trust is the teacher's faith perspective, and is lived, dynamic, and iterative, which makes authenticity an ongoing process. A sub-question was also presented in the study: "What does it mean for the researcher to engage as an authentic learner in the research process?" The focus on the researcher as an authentic learner presented an expanded view of reflexivity, probing deeply into the philosophical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of the researcher's learning process throughout the study. The implications of the study are presented, focusing on the professions of teaching and research, and also showing the relevance for education and society. The most impending implication pertains equally to teachers and to researchers, and emphasizes the need for professional development programs of self-learning and self-formation

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The aim of this study is to explore the role of authenticity in heritage festivals in Korea. It compares and critically evaluates the commodification of heritage festivals in Korea by investigating the tourists’, the performers’ (ethnic community) and the policy makers’ perceptions of authenticity based on comparative case studies and detailed empirical investigations of two contrasting heritage festivals in Korea. As one of the most debated issues in heritage tourism, authenticity has been an important topic of discussion. However, current authenticity research has been dominated by the naturalistic tradition with a strong emphasis on theory building. This study addresses the gap between conceptual and detailed empirical research in the area of authenticity. Therefore, this study identified stakeholders; visitors, performers and policy makers’ perception of authenticity in two comparative cultural heritage festival. The Baudeogi Festival in Anseong was selected as the first case study as it is representative of a commodified heritage festival. The Baudeogi Festival was started under deliberate government strategy in 2001 to promote local development. The second cases study, the Danoje Festival in Gangneung, was selected as representative of ancient forms of festivals. The Danoje festival is preserved and inherited from generation to generation for centuries by the local community and was registered as world intangible heritage by UNESCO in 2005. 800 visitor surveys were conducted with 17 interviews from festival performers and policymakers in both case festivals to identify their motivations for participating and their perceptions of authenticity. Several important findings emerged. Firstly, visitors’ characteristics at both festivals showed slight differences reflecting the character of the local area. Danoje visitors were younger than Baudeogi visitors while most Baudeogi visitors were with a family group whereas Danoje visitors also had a considerable number of friend/colleague groups. Regarding motivation, Baudeogi visitors generally showed stronger motivation than Danoje visitors about heritage festival visitation. The motivation to visit heritage festival were reduced through factor analysis to four each dimensions: cultural learning; escape/family togetherness; the need for authenticity; and enjoyment/socialisation factor at Baudeogi while enjoyment/novelty authenticity/cultural learning, family togetherness escape/socialisation were divers to those attending in the Danoje Festival. Secondly, authenticity was understood differently by stakeholders. Among visitors’ motivation, existential authenticity was identified as a strongest predictor for overall satisfaction from both festivals. Otherwise, performers and policy makers largely showed objective-related authenticity providers of the festival. However, there were tactical variations: performers and policy makers displayed existential authenticity as a means of engineering visitor satisfaction. Furthermore, the commodified Baudeogi festival was commonly perceived as staged authenticity (Cohen 1979) by visitors, where performers and local government viewed it as real in a staged setting whereas central and regional government perceived it as contrived authenticity, as a staged festival. In contrast, Gangneung Danoje Festival was perceived as an authentic experience by all levels of governments and by performers as real in a real setting, while it was perceived as denial of authenticity by visitors as staged festival. This result indicated that the perception of authenticity was identified as depending on personal judgement (Cohen 1988). Finally, through linear multiple regression analysis, visitors’ motivation and perception of authenticity was identified as an influence to visitors’ post-trip behaviours (satisfaction, recommendation and revisit). For the Danoje Festival, visitors’ perception of authenticity showed effective causal relationship to visitors’ intention of recommendation. Also, visitor satisfaction more strongly affected to intention of recommend and revisit.

Aims : This thesis sets out to investigate theoretical conceptualisations of the tripartite model of authenticity and its role within goal-directed behaviours and cognitions. Previous work has mainly been on a theoretical level and focused heavily on personality and counselling literature. The aim of this thesis is to advance the understanding of the tripartite model of authenticity which has previously been supported by both personality and counselling literature. In doing so, this thesis adopts a framework of goal-directed behaviour and cognitions within an individual differences approach, to apply a range of surveys and experimental measures which explore a number of goal-directed behaviours within the tripartite model of authenticity. Methods : Six studies are presented. Three of these studies assess data through self-report questionnaires in comparison the remaining three employ experimental tasks to measure goal-directed behaviours. Data was analysed using multiple regressions, correlations, t-tests and ANOVA’s. Results : The thesis presents novel research to explore goal-directed behaviours within the tripartite model of authenticity. Results indicate that: (1) the tripartite model of authenticity is distinct and unique from extant models of personality; (2) authenticity is related to inhibitory and reward seeking behaviours; (3) authenticity is related to reconfiguring mental resources; (4) authenticity does not reflect impulsive decision-making; (5) authenticity does however play a role in general, every day, decision-making strategies; (6) authenticity can predict aggressive responses in unfair situations; (7) authenticity can predict posttraumatic growth in the aftermath of trauma.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This dissertation focuses on the concept of authenticity and its implications for our projects of self-creation, particularly those involving the use of "enhancement technologies" (such as stimulant drugs, "mood brighteners", or brain stimulation). After an introduction to the concept of authenticity and the enhancement debate in the first part of the thesis, part 2 considers the main analyses of authenticity in the contemporary philosophical literature. It begins with those emphasizing self-creation, and shows that, despite their merits, such views cannot adequately deal with certain types of cases, which require a third option, “true self” accounts, emphasizing self-discovery. However, it is argued that in their existing versions, accounts of this third sort are also unsatisfactory. Part 3 of the thesis proposes a new account of the "true self" sort, intended to improve upon existing ones. Common problematic assumptions about the concept of the true self are critiqued, after which a new analysis of that concept is presented, based on seven different conditions. Two specific definitions of authenticity, respectively emphasizing self-expression and the preservation of one's true self, are provided, and its relation to various associated notions, such as integrity or sincerity, are examined. Finally, part 4 looks at the implications of the previous parts for the enhancement debate. In particular, it discusses the prospect of technologically enhancing our personality and mood dispositions. Do such interventions always threaten our authenticity, as some worry? A negative answer is provided to that question. Various potential pitfalls hinted at by the inauthenticity worry are discussed and acknowledged. It is, however, argued that such enhancements could still in principle be used in a fully authentic manner, and that they have the potential to bring about genuine improvements in our mood but also to our moral capacities and our affective rationality more generally.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In An Image of Africa, Chinua Achebe indicts Conrad’s Heart of Darkness for exemplifying the kind of purist rhetoric that has long benefited Western ontology while propagating reductive renderings of African experience. Edward Said refers to this dynamic as the way in which societies define themselves contextually against an imagined Other. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s fiction exposes how, by occupying cultural dominance, Western, white male values are normalized as universal. Nevertheless, these values are de-naturalized by their inconsistencies in the lived experiences of Adichie’s black, African women. Women who are at once aware of and participant in, the pretentions that underlie social interaction—pointing to the inevitability of performativity and disrupting the illusion of pure identity. These realizations interrupt Conrad’s essentialist conception of identity and reclaim diverse ontological possibilities for the Other.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis analyses and contextualises the performances of Shakespearean and other plays at the reconstructed Globe theatre in London between 1996 and 2000. It contends that these performances raise compelling issues, both for dramatic production and in relation to broader social and cultural concerns because of the Globe's founding commitment to authenticity, which has been expressed most obviously by the meticulous reconstruction of the new Globe building, and through reconstructed authentic performance practices. Further, it is the argument of this thesis that this commitment to authenticity expresses urgent concerns of the new Globe's contemporary placing and role. Thus, the first three chapters of the thesis refer to the actual performances only briefly as various contexts of authenticity are explored. In these chapters the Globe is positioned within debates about historical, personal and individual authenticity, within the discourse of Shakespeare's supposed universalism, and within the concept of 'authentic performance'. Each of these contextual enquiries is tied to a central concern of this thesis, the articulation and constitution of identity and subjectivity. The focal points of the second half of the thesis are the Globe productions and performances themselves. The first of these chapters concentrates on productions of reconstructed authenticity and explores some of the ideological positions encoded in their representations. The remaining two chapters analyse productions that could be described as non-authentic; productions of non-Shakespeare plays, and visiting productions from other countries. An argument is developed (one which is anticipated by the theoretical underpinning of the first half of the thesis) that, in general, the 'authentic' productions are more likely to represent conservative ideologies and to perpetuate hegemonic identity positions. This thesis contributes to the emerging field of studies of Shakespeare in performance by applying a complex web of interdisciplinary perspectives to its consideration of new Globe theatre practice. It analyses many of the productions staged at the new Globe between 1996 and 2000, and evaluates some of the key critical debates as they relate to authentic performance practice.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Currently the most influential accounts of personal autonomy, at least in the Englishspeaking world, focus on providing conditions under which agents can be said to exercise self-control. Two distinct accounts of personal autonomy have emerged in this tradition: firstly, hierarchical models grounded in the work of Harry Frankfurt; and secondly, systems division models most famously articulated by Gary Watson. In this thesis I show the inadequacies of both of these models by exploring the problematic views of the self and self-control underlying each model. I will suggest that the problems faced by these models stem from the fact that they endorse a problematic fragmentation of the self. I suggest that a Nietzschean account of personal autonomy is able to avoid these problems. The Nietzschean account can largely, I show, be drawn from Nietzsche’s understanding of both the ‘man of ressentiment’ and his opposite, the sovereign individual. On this picture wholeness of self – rather than fragmentation of the self – is required in order for us to be most fully autonomous. Furthermore, this wholeness of self requires the kind of integrity which is opposed to the problematic fragmentation endorsed by Frankfurt and Watson.
