Sinn und Struktur:Ueber den Zusammenhang von Ausdruck, Aneignung und Enteignung
Sometimes claims about cultural expropriation leave open what the systematic difference is between legitimate and fruitful appropriation and repressive expropriation. Based on an expressivist anthropology, this paper aims to show where it goes wrong, and where we should defend citing and influenting one another

How do arts-based communities conceptualise their contribution to social justice for people living with intellectual disabilities? :A scoping review
This study reports key concepts of arts-based communities (ABCs) regarding their contribution to social justice for people living with intellectual disabilities and provides a foundation for future research. A scoping review was carried out, following the systematic search-strategy approach proposed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. To extract data, a data-charting form for characteristics and topics of included publications was developed. Thirty-three publications were included in the review. Concepts and terminology were synthesised into key concepts.The identified key concepts are: empowerment and self-advocacy; social interaction, belonging and inclusion; awareness and challenging stigma; advocacy for rights and social change; and skills and employment. These concepts can be related to aims of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and to claims in art therapy literature
Perspectives on dying in severe and enduring eating disorders (SEEDs): A qualitative study among Dutch mental healthcare providers
Dying of severe and enduring eating disorders (SEEDs) was studied using semi-structured interviews (n = 7) and a follow-up videoconferencing focus group (n = 3) with Dutch mental healthcare providers. We identified three main themes: the uncertainties of dying from SEEDs, dilemmas in defining treatment resistance and palliative care, and suicidal ideation and intent. There were two contrasting perspectives on good care, both centering on the patient. While mental healthcare providers strive toward healthy living, palliative care strives toward quality of life and dying. Clarifying underlying concepts enables flexibility in applying these perspectives to optimize individual patient care
Decolonisation of education through citizen science: Slow science, not slow violence.:The case study Diamonds on the Soles of Their Feet
Citizen science projects are vulnerable to top-down directivity, and driven by assumptions of one-directional ambitions with regard to capacity building and knowledge production. Through the story of Ruth, we discuss how deep-seated legacies of inequality influence the politics of knowledge and explore what we, involved in citizen science projects, could learn from the politics of knowledge as it emerges from decolonisation struggles—particularly as manifested within the academy. Most universities are orientated around Western knowledge regimes that mute many other ways of knowing and ordering the world. Significant inroads have been made when writing on decolonising education but less is known about the effects of the colonisation of state institutions and the disturbances, interferences, and disruptions to organising, sharing, and creating knowledge in public spheres outside of these same universities. These disturbances affect the personal and collective histories of people so that when they are part of research linked to the university, their everyday lives become enmeshed with institutional hegemonies. Research is not dissociated from its deeply entrenched colonial roots. If decolonisation means going deeper into the legitimacy of knowledge and who and how this is being defined, then this must include the process of producing that knowledge outside the bastions of power
