The Bhutan-Wiki project: knowledge, literacy and orality in the digital age

这个项目调查了少数民族语言社区不丹人如何战略性地应对互联网上日益严重的数字殖民主义问题。 通过对英语和宗卡语维基百科的比较研究，它将详细分析口头文化在线传播知识的方式，以及协作媒体平台如何有助于文化复原力。预期成果包括新的数字应用和对新兴知识做法和机构的深入了解。这将带来巨大的好处，包括少数民族文化在线包容的新途径，非殖民化的新方法以及对数字时代口头性的见解。

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.
