Joana Breidenbach's contribution to the forum makes a lot of sense to me, and I address a reply to her:

I like the way you have said that cultures appropriate globally recognizable institutions so as to express cultural differences. I would like to read more about appropriation of MacDonald's or Coke as an icon used to express cultural difference, because those two consumer icons have been incredibly useful to the Chinese artistic avant-garde (in which I am particularly interested). Can you please suggest some things I could read? (My German is lousy. It would have to be in English or Chinese.)

Thanks,
Britta
