That which has been left behind is hard to renounce. Indeed, we have one of those dialectic relations again, as with ‘otherness’ in general: the whole point and fun of pretending to be a Californian biker for ten days is that one is really an elderly English academic all along. To develop a postmodernist twist, intertextuality is always with us, always governing our perceptions – it is impossible to leave behind or abandon our knowledge and experience. As Baudrillard (1983) points out quite rightly, this undercuts the whole notion of authenticity.
