        Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty

        Affirmations for the Real World

        by Hana Shafi

        Let’s get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You’re not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that’s not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about.   Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty—built around art from Shafi’s popular online affirmation series—focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it’s hard to do so. Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship, and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive.   So no, this is not an advice book: it’s a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we are—flaws and all—and to not let the bastards grind us down.

        Kulturelle Aneignung (Cultural Appropriation)

        Nautilus Flugschrift

        by Lars Distelhorst

        What are we talking about when we discuss cultural appropriation? Yes, there have always been adoptions and appropriations of techniques, skills, motives etc. in arts and culture throughout history. We learn from each other, of course. That is not the point, though. Cultural exchange is not the same as cultural appropriation. Lars Distelhorst – from a white male perspective and knowingly so – writes about a subject that is as omnipresent as it is inadequately theorised, and with an extraordinary potential to polarise as well. Ethnic party-costumes or dreadlocks, white soul music or yoga – are those cultural appropriations? Discussions tend to escalate quickly here. Distelhorst demonstrates how the macro and micro level of cultural appropriation are connected. He discusses various definitions of the term, including the alleged assumption of essentialist cultural concepts. He analyses three dimensions of cultural appropriation: looted art and artefacts from colonised people, the unasked-for representation of other cultures, and the consumption of culture as commodity. Finally, Distelhorst relates cultural appropriation to anti-racist and anti-capitalist perspectives to use it in fighting against persisting systems of power and domination.
