hardcover. Zustand: Wie neu. Auflage: 1. 302 Seiten Neuwertig / ungelesen. - Colonial Ambivalence, Cultural Authenticity, and the Limitations of Mimicry in French-Ruled West Africa, 1914-1956 offers an innovative and provocative reassessment of the history and legacies of French colonial rule in West Africa between the First World War and the late 1950s. Making critical use of postcolonial and cultural theory, James E. Genova argues that the colonizers and the colonized were locked in a struggle for authority increasingly structured by competing notions of what it meant to be French or African. This book breaks new ground by demonstrating the centrality of the cultural question in the imperial encounters between France and West Africa. It maps the emergence of the French-educated elite as a social class in French West Africa as a window into the complex relationship between agency and structural context in the making of history. A disjunction developed between decolonization and liberation in the colonial liaison of France and West Africa that left colonizers and colonized trapped in a neocolonial cultural framework actualizing Frantz Fanons deepest fears about the postcolony.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Authenticity Formuladraws on insights from over 60 interviews with experienced practitioners and leaders working across branding, licensing, design, entrepreneurship, and cultural leadership. The book examines how authenticity is built, tested, and often contested across markets. Rather than treating authenticity as a short-term business attribute or a transactional claim, it is approached as a longer-term organizational condition shaped by values, decisions, and cultural context.Each chapter explores a distinct combination of authenticity dimensions, combining first-hand accounts, international case studies, and critical reflection to show how organizations navigate growth and change while maintaining credibility. The authors examine both successes and failures, illustrating how cultural understanding, co-creation, and consistency between intent and action influence trust across different settings.Written in a clear and accessible style, the book offers readers practical frameworks and analytical tools, such as the A.U.T.H.E.N.T.I.C. Framework, to assess cultural alignment, avoid superficial localization, and better understand the implications of authenticity in global brand practice. The underlying ambition is to contribute to broader social impact by clarifying how authentic attributes influence organizational change over time.This book is intended for brand leaders, designers, and strategists seeking culturally grounded and credible approaches to brand development across markets.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The epithet 'phony' was omnipresent during the postwar period in the United States. It was an easy appellation for individuals who appeared cynically to conform to codes of behavior for social approbation or advancement. Yet Holly Golightly 'isn't a phony because she's a real phony,' says her agent in Breakfast at Tiffany's. In exploring this remark, Abigail Cheever examines the ways in which social influence was thought to deform individuals in midcentury American culture. How could a person both be and not be herself at the same time The answer lies in the period's complicated attitude toward social influence. If being real means that one's performative self is in line with one's authentic self, to be a real phony is to lack an authentic self as a point of reference--to lack a self that is independent of the social world. According to Cheever, Holly Golightly 'is like a phony in that her beliefs are perfectly in accordance with social norms, but she is real insofar as those beliefs are all she has.' Real Phonies examines the twinned phenomena of phoniness and authenticity across the second half of the twentieth century--beginning with adolescents in the 1950s, like Holly Golightly and Holden Caulfield, and ending with mid-career professionals in the 1990s, like sports agent Jerry Maguire. Countering the critical assumption that, with the emergence of postmodernity, the ideal of 'authentic self' disappeared, Cheever argues that concern with the authenticity of persons proliferated throughout the past half-century despite a significant ambiguity over what that self might look like. Cheever's analysis is structured around five key kinds of characters: adolescents, the insane, serial killers, and the figures of the assimilated Jew and the 'company man.' In particular, she finds a preoccupation in these works not so much with faked conformity but with the frightening notion of real uniformity--the notion that Holly, and others like her, could each genuinely be the same as everyone else.…
