this essay is going to be absolutely genius if I'm not talking rubbish
#girl either I'm having an epiphany or I'm stupid and I cannot articulate my epiphany clearly enough to know!#basically right ok the concept of authenticity#basically it's divided into two ideas - we perform authenticity relationally and then authenticity itself#which is what we're performing#but what if. the performance of authenticity were all there were. there's nothing behind it. ONLY the performance#performance is what CREATES the authentic! and as such the authentic is not a seperate concept from it!#I'm writing about food specifically Korean food but generally food and authenticity#thinking about pasta not being part of the italian national identity until immigration in the 19th century thinking about kimchi not being#fermented until the 16th century and the chili used in it not being native to Korea#like???#but I may be Literally Insane who knows
