Reproductions are omnipresent. The music we listen to consists of reproductions of symphonic legacies, whilst architectural styles synthesize the cityscapes we walk through. As people we share memes, copy trends in fashion, design and speech, and value the reproduction of acts as meaningful rituals and traditions. At the same time, reproductions provoke criticisms on authenticity and originality. From a eurocentric perspective there is still a cultural emphasis on and a preference for the authentic, original, and unique. But what does it even mean to be original? How do authenticity and reproduction influence us as modern-day consumers in and of the city? Can we measure the worth of reproductions? To answer such questions, the third edition of the online, open access, peer reviewed Amsterdam Museum Journal (AMJournal) aims to contribute to the understanding of (re)production as it increasingly becomes a part of our daily lives.
