Abstract

This paper, "Cultural Appropriation in Ayad Akhtar's Disgraced," defines cultural appropriation, discusses its benefits and drawbacks, and examines how the play deals with this topic.Â It is divided into two sections: (a) The theoretical part provides a brief overview of the concept of cultural appropriation and how it is a debatable one; (b) the practical section deals with actual applications.Â The study concludes that, due to the absence of offensiveness, harm, stereotypes, immorality, property violation, and misrepresentation, the heroine's borrowing from the Islamic culture is not regarded as cultural appropriation.Â However, Amir's denial of promotion and Imam Fareed and Abe's punishment for upholding their Islamic heritage constitute what is known as cultural appropriation.Â The misinterpretation of the Holy Qur'an, in addition to Amir's portrait, is considered cultural appropriation.Â Cultural appropriation needs not always be negative; it could result in something incredibly innovative and successful.Â Misconceptions and stereotypes are sometimes the fault of some immigrants due to their shameful deeds.Â Islam has been addressed in terms of racial prejudice, impassion, and political objectives.Â Finally, in order to avoid losing their unique identities, immigrants should integrate rather than assimilate.ÙØ³ØªØ®ÙØµÂ ØªØØ§ÙÙ ÙØ°Ù Ø§ÙÙØ±ÙØ© Ø§ÙØ¨ØØ«ÙØ©Ø Ø§ÙØ§Ø³ØªÙØ§Ø¨ Ø§ÙØ«ÙØ§ÙÙ ÙÙ ÙØ³Ø±ØÙØ© Ø§ÙÙØ®Ø²Ù (2012) ÙÙÙØ§ØªØ¨ Ø¥ÙØ§Ø¯ Ø£Ø®ØªØ±Ø ØªØ¹Ø±ÙÙ Ø§ÙØ§Ø³ØªÙÙØ§Ø¡ Ø§ÙØ«ÙØ§ÙÙØ ÙÙÙØ§ÙØ´Ø© Ø£ÙÙØ§Ø¹Ù ÙØ·Ø±ÙÙØ ÙÙÙØ§Ø¦Ø¯Ù ÙØ¹ÙÙØ¨ÙØ ÙØ£Ø®ÙØ±Ø§ Ø¯Ø±Ø§Ø³Ø© ÙÙÙÙØ© ØªØ¹Ø§ÙÙ Ø§ÙÙØ³Ø±ØÙØ© ÙØ¹ ÙØ°Ø§ Ø§ÙÙÙØ¶ÙØ¹.
