Please find more details about the talk and the Zoom link below.--------------Scepticism about Cultural AppropriationLuara Ferracioli & Sam Shpall (University of Sydney)Abstract: The charge of cultural appropriation is frequent in contemporary culture, and its effects are consequential. Upon reflection, however, the charge is difficult to understand. In this talk, we argue against two of the main views in the (small) philosophical literature on cultural appropriation, paying special attention to overlooked assumptions about the nature of cultural goods, group agency, and the right of free association. After showing that neither view vindicates the idea that cultural appropriation is a distinctive moral wrong, we argue that this is no surprise, because paradigm instances of the cultural appropriation charge concern heterogeneous moral wrongs such as exploitation, silencing, misrepresentation, and stereotyping. This diversity, we suggest, undermines the utility of "cultural appropriation" as a conceptual tool in social critique. We conclude by exploring a specific test case for our arguments, which we take from the world of literary fiction. When is "story appropriation" wrong? We show how the best answer to this question is friendly to our sceptical position.  --------------Hi there, michael.nielsen at sydney.edu.au is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
