Beskrivning
Is it ever acceptable to “borrow” culturally inspired ideas? Who has ownership over intangible culture? What role does power inequality play? These questions are often at the center of heated public debates around cultural appropriation, with new controversies breaking seemingly every day.Cultural Appropriation in Fashion and Entertainment offers a sociological perspective on the appropriation of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and religion embedded in clothing, textiles, jewelry, accessories, hairstyles and tattoos, as well as in entertainment, such as K-pop, Bhangra, and hip-hop.By providing a range of global perspectives on the adoption, adaptation, and application of both tangible and intangible cultural objects, Kawamura and de Jong help move the conversation beyond simply criticizing designers and creators to encourage nuanced discussion and raise awareness of diverse cultures in the creative industries.

Recensioner i media

This is a timely book, given that discussions of what is and is not cultural appropriation are exploding within the academy, museums, fashion design, and social media. Those unfamiliar with the concept will find this to be a fine introduction to the topic, and those well-acquainted with the subject will appreciate the literature review. ... From the beginner to the academic expert (and everyone in between), there is much to learn and appreciate in this thorough recounting of the debates over cultural appropriation.
