  2. Authenticity • Dimensions of authenticity: • Objective: • Boorstin, MacCannell • Constructed: • Cohen, Urry, Rojek • Personal: • Bruner, Wang • Polarity of the theory: • Object --------------Subject

  3. The human subject is a synthesis of: the infinite ---------- the finite possibility ---------- necessity Authenticity: to focus on one thing as a result of a choice The truth is subjective, but the subjectivity is not the truth  The authentic experience is subjective, but the subjective experience is not necessarily authentic Søren Kierkegaard 1813-1855

  4. Mikhail Bakhtin 1895-1975 • The Chronotope: • Kronos: time • Topos: space • Dialogue: • time ---- space • change, flux ---- stasis, fixity. • Space/stasis: Time/change: • Trial pattern Odysseus • Tristan • El Cid Spiderman

  5. Dialogue • Authenticity and the personal experience • Time/space: - axiological • - tied up with judgments about good or bad • Dialogue: an event • Human being: a project or deed • Authenticity and cultural heritage: • temporality: changes through generations • spatiality: myths, symbols or signs • As a communicative principle the chronotope establishes • a constant dialogue between generality and uniqueness

  6. Sustainability • Cultural Heritage Management • Concerns: • identifying cultural heritage with reference to conservation for future generations • the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, including traditional values and heritage The chronotope: a principle to identify cultural heritage Generality: structures, symbols or myths Uniqueness: special or exceptional features

Social responsibility • Activities: religious ideas and concepts • Approach: non-confessional • Principal idea: experiencing the spirit of the place  • - transformation (Pine and Gilmore, 1999) • Ambition: exponent for transformation • not founded on ultimate answers or idealistic ideas • but duality and conflict of human existence

  10. Duality and authenticity • Duality: • Human subject • - exists between flux and fixity • Cultural heritage • constantly in the process of production and reproduction. • The chronotope is to be investigated as the place where knots of authenticity are tied and untied.
