[Air-L] Indigenous/First peoples and digital data/information

[Jill Walker Rettberg]

Many other useful links here that I’ll be exploring – thanks for a great question! I’ve taught Michael Christie’s piece on how the standard Western database ontology didn’t work for indigenous Australian stories.

Christie, Michael. “Words, Ontologies and Aboriginal Databases.” Media International Australia Incorporating Culture and Policy 116, no. 1 (August 2005): 52–63. https://doi.org/10.1177/1329878X05116...<https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFhLS3ZNOGI4Z0hrLTMxek5FX1h2cTdCVXpkd3xBQ3Jtc0trazhEcHQ5YmRycjFFdHJUMkVwTS1XVVNHSEhIUEZHaHJVaTZxa0lZQVphZWxTVVd1RTVsemtCaFE1V3dZVlRhOHBMVFNBNmVTNjlxOWlOOUg0X3B4MXJMUHMxdHh1WUx5MVJaT0RfNVJua0wxdVhENA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1177%2F1329878X0511600107>​.

I also made a short interview with him for teaching that might be useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqQg47HFx2c

I also found this keynote by the influential anthropologist Francis Nyamnjoh interesting:

Nyamnjoh, Francis B. “ICTs as Juju: African Inspiration for Understanding the Compositeness of Being Human Through Digital Technologies.” Journal of African Media Studies 11, no. 3 (2019): 279–91. https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/intellect/jams/2019/00000011/00000003/art00001;jsessionid=3mgdp8q3ocu5a.x-ic-live-02

Subject: [Air-L] Indigenous/First peoples and digital data/information
Hello all

A broad request I know, but I thought I'd ask the group's collective wisdom regarding any authoritative sources for Indigenous/First People's perspectives, methodologies and treatments of digital data.

This can relate to matters surrounding indigenous people's approaches to the management, processing and application of online data, metadata, information, social media etc. This could relate to intellectual property, etc. but can also any philosophical approaches to the management of that data/information that may also be involved.

Many thanks in advance for any responses.
