well there’s a few different ways to approach this but essentially authenticity is a technology of identity creation, usually predicated upon some notion of a ‘true self’, which i think is incredibly naive, conceited, lazy, flimsy, both historically and philosophically
recs include freud, nietzsche, adorno’s ’jargon of authenticity’ (for the specific existentialism takedown)
