Telling the Stories of Others: Applying an Ameliorated Concept of 'Culture' to the Subject Appropriation Debate

AHRC (WRoCAH): Nadia Mehdi: AH/ l503848 /1我的研究项目将审查课题拨款。我认为，当处于主导地位的艺术家（男性、白人等）歪曲被压迫者的经验和主体性时，主体挪用——来自另一种文化的艺术家对一种文化的表现——是一个道德问题，因为这种歪曲进一步使边缘化永久化。我将首先阐述虚假陈述是由什么组成的，这在关于主题拨款的辩论中尚未完成。然后，我必须表明，与流行的哲学信仰相反，歪曲最终是虚构的经历确实是可能的。其次，我必须证明，读者可以从小说中学习。我将探索小说的现象学维度，这些维度与消费小说的经验有关，以证明小说可以传授一种知识，即生活在边缘化的身份中是什么样的。然后，我将确定为什么受众了解关于被压迫者的谎言是一个问题，在社会认识论中仔细研究工作，阐明歪曲在物质和意识形态层面上支持压迫的方式。

AHRC (WRoCAH) : Nadia Mehdi : AH/L503848/1My research project will examine subject appropriation. I will argue that subject appropriation - the representation of a culture by an artist from another culture - is of moral concern when dominantly situated artists (men, white people, and so on) misrepresent the experiences and subjectivities of the oppressed given that misrepresentations further perpetuate marginalization.I will first develop an account of what misrepresentations are comprised of, something that has yet to be done in the debate regarding subject appropriations. I must then show, against popular philosophical belief, that it is indeed possible to misrepresent what is ultimately a fictional experience.Next, I must establish that it is possible for audiences learn from fiction. I will explore the phenomenological dimensions of fictions, those dimensions related to the experience of consuming fictions, to demonstrate that fiction can impart a knowledge-of-what-it-is-like to live with a marginalized identity.I will then determine why it is a problem for audiences to learn falsehoods about the oppressed, canvassing work in social epistemology to articulate the ways in which misrepresentations uphold oppression at both the material and ideological level.
