Engagement
A person can be fully committed to understand a specific text, to play a game, to build a place up to a point that the self more or less vanishes in this passionate attention. Engagement is more and more connected to notions of authenticity. One can be as authentic on a piece of land as on Facebook. Engagement is a qualifying factor for authentity in on- and offline worlds.
