Using wiki software to enhance community empowerment by building digital archives for intangible cultural heritage
30 Nov 2014-pp 268-277
TL;DR: In this article, the creation of community digital archives allowing an "anyone can edit" approach on wiki software gives a better representation of communities' ICH, as well as representing an affordable and sustainable interactive digital presence for historical communities.
Abstract: In recent years, the number of digital projects aimed at documenting and preserving communities’
intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has grown considerably. Nevertheless, most of these resources do not provide a userfriendly
interface which allows non-professional people to contribute to them. As a result, professional accounts of
cultural heritage might miss out the finer-grained knowledge about communities’ customs and traditions. This paper
tries to show how the creation of community digital archives allowing an “anyone can edit” approach on wiki software
gives a better representation of communities’ ICH, as well as representing an affordable and sustainable interactive
digital presence for historical communities. This project has been developed from my doctoral studies and is closely
related to the CURIOS Project at the dot.rural Digital Economy Research Hub (University of Aberdeen), which has
been taking a different approach to how communities can maintain their digital presence.

01 Jan 1996TL;DR: Lowenthal as mentioned in this paper discusses the myriad uses and abuses of historical appropriation and offers a rare and accessible account of a concept at once familiar and fraught with complexity, arguing that the rise of a manifold, crusade-like obsession with tradition and inheritance can lead to either good or evil.
Abstract: Heritage, while it often constitutes and defines the most positive aspects of culture, is a malleable body of historical text subject to interpretation and easily twisted into myth. When it is appealed to on a national or ethnic level in reactions against racial, religious, or economic oppression, the result is often highly-charged political contention or conflict. The extraordinary theme of this unique book is how the rise of a manifold, crusade-like obsession with tradition and inheritance--both physical and cultural--can lead to either good or evil. In a balanced account of the pros and cons of the rhetoric and spoils of heritage--on the one hand cultural identity and unity, on the other, potential holy war--David Lowenthal discusses the myriad uses and abuses of historical appropriation and offers a rare and accessible account of a concept at once familiar and fraught with complexity.
