PLAGIARISM, CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AND CROSS- CULTURAL DISSEMINATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' TEXTILE DESIGNS
Abstract
This work is an investigation into plagiarism and cultural appropriation, and its differentiation with cross-cultural diffusion, particularly in relation to the textile designs of indigenous peoples, who have been carrying out designers and fashion houses of world prestige, all to the detriment of these peoples and to the detriment of their cultural heritage. Under the argument of an alleged "homage to Mexican culture," these fashion designers rely on an attempt to justify plagiarizing and profiting from the property of indigenous peoples of Mexico, without actually being remunerated financially or granted specific recognition. As will be seen in this work, indigenous designs and their artistic manifestations are the product of a long history of identity traditional ancestral knowledge and a world view of their own, and therefore their use by third parties without the consent of those peoples, It constitutes a violation of human rights and a detriment to the already precarious economic conditions of artisans, which have become more acute since the outbreak of the pandemic.
