Cultural Transpropriation is a term proposed by Argentine historian Ezequiel Adamovsky to describe a form of interethnic cultural exchange specific to the Latin American context, where cultural flux plays a crucial role in the making and redefinition of ethnic identities. Unlike cultural appropriation, which is typically framed in Anglo-American discourse as the exploitative or unacknowledged borrowing of cultural elements across rigid ethnic boundaries, cultural transpropriation refers to collective processes of self-transformation through the assimilation of elements from other groups. It is not an individual act of theft or commodification, but a shared endeavor embedded in histories of mestizaje, hybridity, and ethnogenesis, common in Latin American societies. Adamovsky argues that in highly miscegenated contexts like Latin America, rigid notions of cultural ownership and purity are often incoherent, and transpropriation offers a more appropriate framework for understanding cultural dynamics. Transpropriation acknowledges origins while enabling new, hybrid forms of identity that challenge essentialist and multiculturalist models rooted in fixed group distinctions. It is not inherently oppressive but may generate tensions, requiring interethnic dialogue rather than regulation.
