Funded Activity Summary

The Bhutan-Wiki project: knowledge, literacy and orality in the digital age. This project investigates how a minority language community, the Bhutanese, strategically responds to the growing problem of digital colonialism on the Internet. Through a comparative study of English and Dzongkha Wikipedias, it will produce detailed analysis of the ways an oral culture transfers knowledge online and how collaborative media platforms can contribute to cultural resilience. Expected outcomes include new digital applications and insights into emerging knowledge practices and institutions. This will provide significant benefits including new pathways to online inclusion for minority cultures, new methods of decolonization and insights into orality in the digital era.
