摘要

This paper examines the convergence of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) with digital and post-digital cultures, using the digital game ‘Kisima Inŋitchuŋa/Never Alone’ as a case study. The analysis begins by exploring the game’s role in translating and sustaining ICH in digital formats. Drawing on Karen Barad’s Agential Realism, it interprets ICH within techno-human networks as part of ‘Apparatuses for the Agential Emergence’ of cultural knowledge. This study challenges traditional views of cultural memory and heritage transmission, advocating for a recontextualized understanding of ICH as a performative and evolving phenomenon, deeply embedded in medial and (post-)digital-cultural interrelations.
