Resumo(s)
Cultural assets are physical or intangible artifacts that embody humanity’s expressions of individual and collective experience, and supportively contribute to education and knowledge dissemination. Yet,
it is fathomed that “underdeveloped countries” experience a multitude of structural barriers that limit their citizens from accessing these important cultural artifacts.
In pursuits of an interdisciplinary approach, this study first intends to identify the cultural, historical,
and international paradigms that devise these limitations, and pinpoint the existing cultural democratization barriers that these nations withstand. Moreover, it hopes to acknowledge the value of ethical cultural democratization projects and mindful partnerships between organizations,
governments, and institutions as potentiators of equality, and economic and social growth.
That being said, grounded on a Design Science Research Methodology, the main objective of this
research is the construction of an inclusive framework that aids in the democratization of access to
cultural assets in “underdeveloped countries”. Essentially, this artifact should function as an accessible tool that supports decision-makers in the creation of cultural democratization projects, by providing them strategies for problem-solving through innovative approaches and recommending the available technological solutions for mitigating cultural democratization barriers. All throughout contemplating
the capacities and necessities of each setting. Additionally, this study acknowledges the prevailing power dynamics and oppressive colonial control that looms over underdeveloped nations. With that in mind, it entirely rejects the ideals of cultural dominance in favor of supporting the democratic principles of cultural reciprocity.
