Beschreibung

The Ethics of Cultural Appropriation undertakes a comprehensive and systematic investigation of the moral and aesthetic questions that arise from the practice of cultural appropriation. * Explores cultural appropriation in a wide variety of contexts, among them the arts and archaeology, museums, and religion * Questions whether cultural appropriation is always morally objectionable * Includes research that is equally informed by empirical knowledge and general normative theory * Provides a coherent and authoritative perspective gained by the collaboration of philosophers and specialists in the field who all participated in this unique research project

Rezensionen

(Journal of the Royal Astronomical Institute, 2011)
"There are several characteristics that make this collection of essays an admirable endeavour: the breadth of questions and disciplines covered - music, arts, archaeology, genetics, religion, ethnobiology - in an interdisciplinary dialogue moderated by philosophers; the passionate engagement of the authors with the ethics of appropriation of subaltern cultures by dominant Western cultures; the incisiveness of the debates over each theme discussed (one author debating with another before giving his/her own point of view in the shape of an individual article); the soundness of theoretical arguments and the stunning and provocative examples debated."

"To read these essays is to eavesdrop on a roomful of thinkers locked in spirited debate about the meaning of cultural appropriation. What knits the chapters together is the authors' shared desire to clarify what's at stake when outsiders copy, collect, or steal the biological and cultural resources of subaltern peoples."

-Michael F. Brown, Williams College

"This breakthrough collection is a splendid demonstration of the benefits of collaborative interdisciplinary research to produce strikingly original scholarship. We are the beneficiaries. Talented teams of leading philosophers with outstanding specialists in a wide range of disciplines examine the enormously complex ethical challenges of cultural appropriation. This is a model for scholarship in an increasingly complex era of intellectual globalization."

-Julie C. Van Camp, California State University, Long Beach
