<p>This thesis explores the connection between East Asian female pop music artists and inauthenticity in Anglo-Western popular culture. It embarks on a two-step mixed method analysis to provide both breadth and depth to this research project, analyzing songs and music videos through a content analysis and critical discourse analysis. Specifically, it foregrounds the understanding of these artists as inauthentic against a broad tradition of authenticity in Western art and specifically in Western music to understand how these artists are perceived to be inauthentic. Focusing on a contemporary period, it explores how popular music interacts with the Western cultural imagination, interrogating how racial and gender dynamics contribute to understandings of authenticity. Also integral to this study is a consideration of technology and how technological developments have had an impact on understandings of art.</p>

“…Tal noción proviene de Bruce Bethke, quien la uso en 1983 59 . Su origen se sitúa, para Mark Bould, en 1983, mas fue en la revista Amazing donde se la utilizó por primera vez para categorizar la CF de William Gibson (con su obra Neuromancer) y otros 60 . De esta manera, con la aparición de Neuromancer (1984), la CF devino posmoderna 61 .…”
