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.
