Cultural appropriation / by Wiener, Gary,Editor(DLC)n 98029918;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Is cultural appropriation insult or homage? -- Is cultural appropriation a problem in the music industry? -- Is cultural appropriation a problem in the film industry? -- Are team names and mascots that use cultural appropriation acceptable? -- For further discussion -- Organizations to contact.While the concept of "cultural appropriation" was first popularized in the academic sphere in the 1980s, it has only recently become a major topic of public discourse. Ensuring that other cultures--particularly marginalized ones--are respected is a more significant priority today, but what counts as cultural appropriation is a topic of contentious debate. Some argue that using elements of other cultures without proper acknowledgment is disrespectful and exploitative, while others say that it is a way of showing appreciation for other cultures and that it is impossible to avoid in a globalized society. The viewpoints in this volume attempt to clarify the difference between cultural exchange and appropriation through a wide range of perspectives.

A programme of absolute disorder : decolonizing the museum / by Vergès, Françoise,1952-author.(CARDINAL)855977; Gilroy, Paul,1956-author of foreword.(CARDINAL)681312; Thackway, Melissa,translator.; Pluto Press,publisher.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Foreword -- Preface -- Introduction -- A programme of absolute disorder -- The museum, a battleground -- The Louvre, Napoleon, seizure, and the enslaved -- Black is the model, white is the frame -- A museum without objects -- Epilogue : decolonial tactics."The Western museum is a battleground--a terrain of ideological, political and economic contestation. Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself? In A Programme ofAbsolute Disorder, Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre's history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe's self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage. Vergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a 'programme of absolute disorder', inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed"--

Decolonize hipsters / by Pierrot, Grégory,author.; Shringarpure, Bhakti,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references.Look at that fucking hipster -- From the hip -- Hipster fascism -- Hips don't lie."Few urban critters are more reviled than the hipster. They are notoriously difficult to define, and yet we know one when we see one. No wonder: they were among the global cultural phenomena that ushered in the 21st century. They have become a bulwark of mainstream culture, cultural commodity, status, butt of all jokes and ready-made meme. But frightening as it is to imagine, for more than a century hipsters have been lurking among us. Defined by their appearances and the cloud of meaning attached to them--the cool vanguard of gentrification, the personification of capitalism with a conscience--hipsters are all looks, and these looks are a visual timeline to America's past and present. Underlining this timeline is the pattern of American popular culture's love/hate/theft relationship with Black culture. Yet the pattern of recycling has reached a chilling point: the 21st century hipster made all possible past fads into new trends, including and especially the old uncool. In Decolonize Hipsters, Grégory Pierrot gives us a field guide to the phenomenon, a symptom and vanguard of the wave of aggressive white supremacist sentiment now oozing from around the globe."--
