Mainstream and cultural
appropriation
Cultural Syncretism
“ cultural syncretism which is the adoption of
one culture into another culture generally
through colonisation and immigration; “
Cultural appropriation
• “happens when people from a more powerful
culture adopt the art, symbols, or elements of
a less powerful culture without understanding
or respecting the context or history of that
material.”

Appropriation of POC
http://www.xojane.com/issues/my-indian-parents-are-fans-of-cultural-
appropriation
• “generation after generation, African American
slang gets incorporated into mainstream white
slang. At one point in this process, it's straight up
cultural appropriation. But there does come a
moment when enough white people are using
the slang, that other white people are picking it
up from whites in their own communities,
without necessarily knowing its origin. At that
point, it's already fused into the mainstream
culture and the less "cutting edge" whites
really aren't appropriating it ... because it's
already thoroughly appropriated.”
“While we should be concerned about
appropriation (especially certain manifestations
of it), we should also be cognizant of some of
the negative ramifications that can arise from
the indiscriminate or overzealous use of the
concept”.
-Julia Serano
• Erasure as “Marginalized/minority groups have little power or
voice in society. Therefore, when the dominant/majority group
takes up their identities, ideas, and other cultural creations, it
tends to undermine or erase the context in which they were
created, and the original meanings and symbolism that underlie
them.”
•
• Exploitation: “Sometimes members of the dominant/majority
group will materially profit from aspects or acts that they have
appropriated from a marginalized/minority group without ever
giving anything back to that community.”
•
•
Denigration: “to treat or represent as lacking in value or
importance; belittle,” which applies to instances where
important or sacred aspects of the marginalized/minority
group’s identity or culture are appropriated by the
dominant/majority group in an irreverent or disrespectful
manner
Trans appropriation (EED and non EED)

Just a reminder
• EED appropriation =
Erasure
Exploitation
Denigration
