KCTOS Conference: Knowledge, Creativity, and Transformation of Societies<\/strong>

Conference Section\/Workshop: Indigenous Peoples Knowledge Society: Transformations and Challenges \/ Indigene in der Wissensgesellschaft: Transformationen und Herausforderungen<\/strong>

Of the more than 300 Million Indigenous Peoples recognized by the United Nations, a growing minority is actively shaping indigenous visions of a knowledge-based society. These visions are not simply indigenous responses to global mainstream debates over post-industrial development or techno-scientific culture, etc. More importantly, they articulate the actual deployment of new media and information communications technologies (ICTs) by indigenous communities to forward their own policies and practices. They frame how indigenous communities are mobilizing over the internet and on the Web to communicate their lived experiences and extend their local networks to global audiences, including and especially, a global indigenous audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

For academics in the field, online indigenous communities are opening up spaces of inquiry beyond the digital divide by actively co-creating virtual communities and transforming their cultural experience through ICTs (i.e., real life in cyberspace). Questions about resources, knowledge\/power and access continue to be important, but they have become more complicated by issues of networking and social life, virtual reproduction, and information policy. These new social, political, and cultural forms of indigeneity will be discussed within this section.<\/span><\/p>\n

Papers within this section address one or more themes reflected in the following research questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 How can\/should social sciences describe and explain local indigenous knowledge production in a potentially global knowledge system? What are the socio-cultural and political inter-linkages between local and global?<\/span>
\n\u2022 How do indigenous communities integrate new media practices and ICTs into processes of local media production and networking to participate in socio-cultural life, political movements, economic development, healthcare, education, and so forth?<\/span>
\n\u2022 How might indigenous communities\u2019 uses of new media and ICTs reflect challenges for diversity, conflict, global ethics, pluralism, gender, youth and heritage?<\/span>
\n\u2022 What best practices have indigenous organizations developed around the inter-linkages of knowledge production, new media, ICTs, and local\/global community networks (that could inform practitioners and scholars)?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
