| dc.description.abstract | Developing suitable frameworks and paradigms (theoretical
and practical) is a challenge for all disciplines in the face of
rapid technological changes. Technological advances are
fundamentally changing discourse in many well-established
areas of research; from advances in understanding the brain,
questioning the informed wisdom of sectors of the brain,
through to impacts of social networks on sociology, to
digitisation of culture. Technology’s potential is a doubleedged
sword which calls for coherent and reflective practices,
to avoid the many pitfalls which abound. Kaschula
recognised this as far back as 2004 in terms of orality, oral
societies, and developed Technauriture as a framing solution.
Drawing from this experience, the authors aim to expand the
concept to offer a framing paradigm for culture in the form
of Cultauriture. In this article the concept of Cultauriture is
introduced and expanded to create a base for further research
and dialogue with and between cultural practitioners, artists
and policy makers. | en_US |
