Is batik cultural appropriation?
Batik is a traditional Indonesian textile art form that holds significant cultural and historical value. When individuals from outside of the Indonesian culture appropriate batik without understanding or respecting its cultural significance, it can be considered cultural appropriation. However, if people from other cultures engage with batik in a respectful and informed manner, such as by learning about its history and supporting the artisans who create it, it can be a form of cultural appreciation rather than appropriation. It is important to approach the use of batik with sensitivity and respect for its origins.

This diversity can manifest in various ways, such as through differences in language, religion, customs, traditions, and values.

Embracing and understanding cultural heterogeneity can lead to a more inclusive and enriched society, as it allows for the exchange of ideas and perspectives from different cultural backgrounds.

Without knowing the specific context or details of the situation, it is difficult to definitively say whether something is cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation occurs when elements of a marginalized culture are adopted by members of a dominant culture without proper understanding or respect for the original culture.

Digital Cultural Heritage
This book provides an overview of various application spheres and supports further innovations needed in information management and in the processes of knowledge generation.The professions, organizations and scientific associations involved are unusually challenged by the complexity of the data situation.Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing digital cultural heritage (DCH) objects.It is particularly important in enabling spatial relation analysis between any number of DCH objects or of their granular details.In addition to the pure geometric aspects, the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use processes are also of increasing importance.Further, there is a societal demand for spatial reference and analytics (e.g. the extensive use of cognitive concepts of "map" and "atlas" for a variety of social topics in the media).There is a huge geometrical-logical-cognitive potential for complex, multimedia, digital-cultural-heritage databases and stakeholders expect handling, transmission and processing operations with guaranteed long-term availability for all other stakeholders.In the future, whole areas of digital multimedia databases will need to be processed to further our understanding of historical and cultural contexts.This is an important concern for the information society and presents significant challenges for cartography in all these domains. This book collects innovative technical and scientific work on the entire process of object digitization, including detail extraction, archiving and interoperability of multimedia DCH data.

Television : Technology and Cultural Form
Television: Technology and Cultural Form was first published in 1974, long before the dawn of multi-channel TV, or the reality and celebrity shows that now pack the schedules.Yet Williams' analysis of television's history, its institutions, programmes and practices, and its future prospects, remains remarkably prescient.Williams stresses the importance of technology in shaping the cultural form of television, while always resisting the determinism of McLuhan's dictum that 'the medium is the message'.If the medium really is the message, Williams asks, what is left for us to do or say?Williams argues that, on the contrary, we as viewers have the power to disturb, disrupt and to distract the otherwise cold logic of history and technology - not just because television is part of the fabric of our daily lives, but because new technologies continue to offer opportunities, momentarily outside the sway of transnational corporations or the grasp of media moguls, for new forms of self and political expression.
