Traditional reappropriation

Traditional reappropriation or Traditional reclamation is the cultural process by which a relatively Traditional
group reclaims terms or artifacts that were previously used in a way 
disparaging of that group.
A reclaimed or reappropriated cultural thing is something that was at one popularly referred to pejoratively but has been brought back into acceptable usage, sometimes starting within the communities that experienced oppression under the pejorative usage but sometimes also among the general populace as well.[1] The term "reclaimed word" more often implies usage by a member of the group that is referred. That can have wider implications in the fields of discourse and has been described in terms of personal or sociopolitical empowerment. [W.jan19]

I think there is a way out. But it requires that we both deconstruct the modern drama and propose an alternative. We must rewrite history and so develop a new narrative that supports an alternate set of categories which do not cast Christianity as merely a religious actor, but rather positions Christianity as the stage on which history itself is performed. We must come to understand our world through a larger narrative within which the liberal epoch is a diverting sub-plot. If we do so, Christians can come to view ourselves not as an embattled minority on the losing side of history, but as protagonists in a missionary insurgency.— «The Postliberal Moment» by Andrew Willard Jones 31dec18
