Do you think that, say, "cultural appropriation", as a term owes anything to critical theory?
- tomlock 9y agoI think broadly, many movements on the left and right owe some of their language, some of their terminology - to critical theory. For example, media scepticism and the idea of education-as-propaganda were further developed by critical theorists. So do I think cultural appropriation as a term owes anything to critical theory? Yes. Do I think a broad swathe of terms used across the political spectrum owe anything to critical theory? Yes. Do I think a critique of critical theory necessarily undermines any of these other terms? No.
