Queen's University, Kingston Hall, Room 201The Department of Philosophy is pleased to invite you to the 2021 Graham Kennedy Memorial Lecture, which welcomes Dominic McIver Lopes (UBC).
Lecture Title: Cultural Appropriation, Aesthetic Injustice
Abstract: People with different cultures come into contact with each other, and the contacts can go well, or they can go badly. If justice is goodness in the arrangement of social life, then arrangements of social life that shape cultural contact can be just or unjust. This lecture introduces a new way to think about contact between people with different aesthetic cultures. Arrangements of aesthetic life are unjust if they frustrate interests in what I call "value diversity" or "social autonomy.鈥 To see this, I reflect on Canada鈥檚 reception of Bill Reid鈥檚 bronze, The Spirit of Haida Gwaii.
