Abstract: ?How does contention over authenticity unfold through social movement processes of mobilization and counter-mobilization? We address this issue by studying how the rise of "modern" winemaking practices embodied authenticity as creativity, how the success of the modernists triggered a counter-movement seeking to preserve "traditional" wine-making practices, and how the emergent "traditional" category was premised on authenticity as conformity to a genre. This counter-movement succeeded in a situation in which market forces seemed destined to displace tradition with modernity.
