“…Cultural appropriation, framed as the taking of intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else's culture without permission (Young and Brunk 2012, p. 4;Scafidi 2005, p. 9;Brown 2003, p. 3), is a multifaceted phenomenon that characterizes various aspects of human life. Much research in this field has been devoted to Aboriginal or Ethnic art (Brown 2003, p. 44), music (Coleman et al 2012;Hall 1997), esoteric (Nason 1997) as well as scientific knowledge (Pullman and Arbour 2012).…”

Fashion is considered an element of “cultural identity”. At the same time, it has always been a dynamic phenomenon in which different styles, designs and models converged, acting both as a source of attraction for designers as well as a source of inspiration to draw and depart from in an attempt at innovation. Influences were reciprocal, with the phenomenon of Orientalism going hand in hand with that of Occidentalism. Today’s discussion focuses on the vindication by various ethnic groups of ways to protect their own folklore as expression of their own cultural identity. The questions that arise are manifold. This contribution aims at framing the problem in the nowadays fashion industry as well as investigating the various possibilities of protecting folklore while preserving cultural identity. The discussion will deal with recent studies that have analyzed the various aspects of cultural appropriation. Intellectual property will be taken into consideration as a way to protect folklore. Nevertheless, this article suggests that other options for achieving protection of cultural heritage and folklore emerge in the field of Private Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility that will offer new opportunities to tackle the problem of cultural appropriation in the fashion world.

“…Through acknowledging the predominant constructions of power in postcolonial contexts, a respectful discussion and interaction can create space where common and differing values are identified and shared cultural exchange occurs. It also creates space for social justice; enabling social workers, Travellers and Africans synthesised research, discourse and action to tackle the various forms of social, cultural and personal oppression they experience (Burns Coleman, Coombe, & MacArailt, 2009;Healy, 2014). This is not to suggest the experience of Travellers, Africans and social workers is the same or the process of shared cultural exchange is unproblematic.…”

“…Rather, a transversal perspective is important here as it recognises the different experiences of positioning in global society and values these experiences and knowledge as part of the movement towards a more equitable world (Mohanty, 2003;Yuval-Davis, 2006). Further, acknowledging cultural significance and practising ethically represents an act of resistance to globalised neoliberal capitalism by refusing to reduce cultural forms to pieces of tradable information (Burns Coleman et al, 2009;Dominelli, 2010;Fook, 2016).…”

INTRODUCTION: Western conceptualisations of social work are increasingly interestedin practices considered to be alternative or non-traditional to respond to oppression. While incorporating alternative methods into social work is frequently viewed as unproblematic, we suggest critical reflection is necessary to safeguard against inadvertent, culturally unsafe practice and the uncritical re-inscription of individualised solutions.APPROACH: In this article, we explore the application of group drumming practices within social work through examination of a critical incident. While the benefits of group drumming are well documented, we use critical reflection to explore ethical challenges of incorporating group drumming practices into social work.CONCLUSIONS: We highlight strategies for social workers using alternative or non- traditional practices that support cultural humility and critical practice goals. This research holds implications for social workers interested in the potential of alternative practices while remaining committed to critical practice and cultural safety.

Sonic Sovereignty: Performing Hopi Authority in Öngtupqa

In this article, I explore the ways territorial authority or sovereignty emerges from within a particular mode of Indigenous creativity—the creation and performance of Hopi taatawi (traditional songs)—despite the appropriation of Hopi traditional lands by the American settler-state. Hopi territories within Öngtupqa (Grand Canyon) are just a sample of the many places where Indigenous authority, as expressed through sound-based performances, continues to resonate despite the imposition of settler-colonial structures that have either silenced Indigenous performances of authority or severed these places from Indigenous territories. Drawing on the work of Hopi composers and intellectuals, I explore how Hopi musical composition and performance are deeply intertwined with Hopi political philosophy and governance, resulting in a form of sovereignty that is inherently sonic rather than strictly literary or textual in nature. Recognizing that this interconnection between territorial authority and sound production is common across many Indigenous communities, I propose listening to contemporary Indigenous creativity not just as an aesthetic form but as a source of sonic sovereignty.
