Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Oral Traditions and the Digital Arts

Hi Cynthia,
I believe the cyber mode of passing down information, is parallel and
branching hence recursive.
A Subject cope with the data saturation, by computer data processing. There
are few levels on understanding & memory...
The immediate intuitive traditional, in parallel to processed one (Google
Wikipedia, etc.) The combine data channel makes the "super resolution"
memory. the global network computing system overcomes the overlap...

Subject: [Yasmin_discussions] Oral Traditions and the Digital Arts

Roger asks the question about how to respond to my proposed topic on
traditional ways of passing down information.

Is science always separate from story telling in general? is there
an overlap in what is important to communicate?

s history (as in describing the past) always recorded/communicated in
the same form as science?

Is there an overlap in research?

Do all cultures approach the field differently?

In the current methods of Anthropology, for example, the
documentation of cultural practice and communication of memories is
treated as a science, even when it is applied to contemporary
societies. (not my field, so it would be nice to know more here).

We take our own cultures for granted, so observations from other
cultures would be welcome.
