Walter C. Murray Lecture: Cultural Appropriation, Aesthetic Injustice

Dr. Dominic McIver Lopes (DPhil), from the University of British Columbia, will present the annual public lecture

Event

The Walter C. Murray Lecture is an annual public lecture hosted by the Department of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Science

Date: Friday, March 11, 2022
Time: 7 pm - 8:30 pm (reception to follow)
Location: Health Sciences 1130 and online via Zoom
Speaker: Dr. Dominic McIver Lopes (DPhil), University of British Columbia

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.” To see this, I reflect on Canada’s reception of Bill Reid’s bronze, The Spirit of Haida Gwaii.
