Negotiating Authenticity through Folk Singing Interpretations
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores how interpretations of folk singing in Slovenia reflect shifting concepts of authenticity within heritage processes. Drawing on historical analysis and ethnographic interviews, it argues that authenticity is not a fixed trait but a relational category shaped by institutional norms, historically informed aesthetics, embodied performance, and performers’ emotional connection to songs.
