Semiotic and semantic implications of "authenticity".
The concept of transgenerational authenticity was examined in a Japanese cohort by Ito, et al. Reviewing that study, it was noted the eldest generation was distinguished from succeeding ones as this group grew up under U.S. military occupation. The possibility of resultant semantic and semiotic disruptions was considered.
