@SherrySalley [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [03]: Ist jetzt der #Trend #rassistisch (weil er offenbar "weisse #Kunst" benachteiligt)? Oder #NiritTakele weil sie sich mit dieser Thematisierung hervorheben will? (Ich wollte auch mal ein #woke -Thema kreieren🤣, und stelle mir "Weisse Männer oder #Dreadlocks sind in" vor🤣) [URL redacted]
"Is the trend now racist (because it apparently disadvantages 'white art')? Or NiritTakele because she wants to stand out with this theme? (I've been wanting to create a woke theme too?, imagining 'white men or dreadlocks are in'?)" i.e. #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation
#SymbolHairstyleDreadlocks
Supplementary tweeter is perplexed by the fact that is acceptable to frame discussion in terms of race when the subject is black (in this case of the article's title i.e. "Black art is trendy") but (seemingly) not when they are white (as that might result in criticisms of #PhenomnWhitePrivilege - or worse). The tweeter presumably sees this as a #BehaviourDuplicityDoubleStandards - that "it's not racist to classify yourself as a black artist but it is racist if you classify yourself as a white artist". In this way, the tweeter clearly fails to recognise that language is a cultural construct; where language is deeply embedded with cultural significance (that the meaning of words is the consequence of patterns of everyday use #TheoryDialogic.ally, which informs how their definitions are defined in dictionaries). This is known as a #TheoryInstrumentalism conception of meaning.
Addendum this 'dictionary definitions' point reminds me of the Basil Bernstein quote: "When children fail at school, drop out, repeat, they are likely to be positioned in a factual world tied to simple operations, where knowledge is impermeable" (2000). http://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=744

"Nirit Takele is currently one of Israel's most sought-after artists. From the beginning the Ethiopian was an underdog, in her homeland she was 'the Jewess' and in Israel 'the Ethiopian'. But the artist doesn't give a damn about it. For them, identity is simply a matter of attitude. an encounter.
