Note publique d'information : Now, for the first time, a philosopher undertakes a systematic investigation of the
moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural appropriation gives rise. Cultural appropriation
is a pervasive feature of the contemporary world (the Parthenon Marbles remain in
London; white musicians from Bix Beiderbeck to Eric Clapton have appropriated musical
styles from African-American culture) ; Young offers the first systematic philosophical
investigation of the moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural appropriation gives
rise ; Tackles head on the thorny issues arising from the clash and integration of
cultures and their artifacts ; Questions considered include: “Can cultural appropriation
result in the production of aesthetically successful works of art?” and “Is cultural
appropriation in the arts morally objectionable?” ; Part of the highly regarded New
Directions in Aesthetics series
