+ | '''Appropriation''' in [[sociology]] is, according to James J. Sosnoski, "the [[cultural assimilation|assimilation]] of concepts into a governing framework...[the] arrogation, confiscation, [or] seizure of [[concept]]s." According to Tracy B Strong it contains the Latin root ''proprius'', which, "carries the connotations not only of [[property]], but also of proper, [[Economic stability|stable]], assured and indeed of common or ordinary." He elaborates: "I have appropriated something when I have made it mine, in a manner that I feel comfortable with, that is in a manner to which the challenges of others will carry little or no significance. A [[Writing|text]], we might then say, is appropriated when its reader does not find himself or herself called into question by it, but does find him or herself associated with it. A successfully appropriated text no longer troubles the appropriator that it has become a part of his or her understanding, and it is recognized by others as 'owned,' not openly available for [[interpretation (logic)|interpretation]]." According to Gloria Anzaldúa, "the difference between appropriation and proliferation is that the first steals and harms; the second helps heal breaches of knowledge." | ||
