Question: There are several points in common between Christen's "Gone Digital: Aboriginal Remix and the Cultural Commons" and Ginsburg's "Rethinking the Digital Age." How would you apply Ginsburg's thoughts to the Mukurtu Archive developed by Christen with Edith Nakkamarra and a group of Warumungu women to compile a community history? Pay attention when Ginsburg uses the term "cultural activist" and "strategic traditionalism."

Christen points out that "Although DVD technology can account for concerns such as monitoring access, preserving cultural knowledge, and reinforcing existing kinship networks, it also brings with it the possibility of multiple reproductions, knowledge sampling, and unintended mobilizations. Tracking the shifting mandates and emergent protocols in this digital interface redirects the lines of the debate to include multiple structures of accountability, ongoing systems of inequity, and overlapping access regimes involved in the always tense processes of cultural innovation." What kind of protocols is she concerned about and how is she planning to enforce and protect them?
