Cosplay? Admiration? Or Cultural Appropriation? Discussing the Politics of “Borrowing Culture”

April 18, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

What does it mean to “borrow culture”? What does it mean to dress up as an “Asian”? What is playful and what is offensive? Who can do it and who cannot? Who owns the culture? Join professor Neriko Doerr to discuss power politics in “borrowing culture” and their effects in a wide range of contexts with some concrete examples. 1:00PM, A225
