 The related harms of misrepresentation and silencing can be fruitfully couched in terms of philosophical work on epistemic injustice and epistemic violence (Fricker 2007; Dotson 2011; Matthes 2016a; Nicholas &amp; Wylie 2013). Operating against a broader backdrop of social marginalization, cultural appropriation can inhibit or deny the ability of group members to speak for and represent themselves, offering further support for Loretta Dodd’s definition of cultural appropriation as the opposite of cultural autonomy (Todd 1990). For instance, on this understanding, the disability rights slogan “nothing about us without us” can be construed as an objection against appropriation through representation.
