The quest for authenticity
… can be a quest for the folk tale, an authentic story of real social structures intermingled with the unreal, the imaginary.
The concept of staged authenticity perceived as fakery should be reconsidered.

Implications for further research
Additional research is needed to identify:
The profile of tale seekers (the two subgroups); The ratio between tangible and intangible
elements, the genuine and the reproduced; The perspective of the local community.
