Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) as a source of insight invites its characterization as a "digital oracle," a metaphor with particular resonance in Africa where traditions of divination are deeply embedded. This analogy, however, raises critical questions regarding the understanding, legitimacy, and governance of such systems. This paper employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating contemporary AI ethics with African philosophy and religious perspectives, to analyze this metaphor. Using the prophetic figure central to Yoruba Ifá divination as a comparative framework, we contrast the communal, symbolically interpreted guidance of traditional oracles (Bascom, 1969) with AI's data-driven predictions, which often lack moral authority and community accountability. In response, we propose that the Ubuntu philosophy, grounded in relational humanity and moral duty, provides a vital corrective. The analysis is structured around four lenses: (1) epistemic opacity and interpretive authority; (2) relational personhood and communal responsibility; (3) spiritual and moral discernment; and (4) decolonial governance. We argue that AI should not be considered an autonomous philosophical oracle but can serve as a valuable decision-support tool when consciously embedded within robust systems of ethics, interpretation, and community. The paper concludes by advocating for AI development guided by Ubuntu ethics, the inclusion of religious thought, and formal decolonial governance. This approach seeks to transform AI into a context-aware tool that serves humanity, rather than an unaccountable digital predictor.

Abstract

African Traditional Religion (ATR) is based on symbolic systems that reflect cosmology, ethics, spirituality and social order, which are represented through divination, rituals, proverbs, sacred objects as well as texts such as Yoruba Ifa verses. Scholars nowadays focus not only on their multivocal character but also on their epistemic and moral functions: symbols act as organs of knowledge no less than objects of cultural artefacts. AI tools, by symbolically representing that knowledge, through ontologies and explainable learning, provide means to decode, and maintain such sacred systems cultural sensitively. Indicatively, the article Preserving Indigenous Knowledge: Leveraging Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence describes the way interactive platforms and AI-based applications preserve indigenous knowledge, without violating cultural guidelines and intellectual property rights. Using Classical Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Adinkra Symbol Recognition in Ghana was highly accurate in classifying Adinkra symbols. The results of the studies indicate that AI can improve preservation, access, and learning; however, it is unable to reproduce spiritual intention and group validation. Such ethical concerns as reductionism, digital colonialism, and cultural ownership are not new to the recent literature. This paper thus suggests an alternative approach in which AI would be used to supplement AIR custodianship to make sure that the knowledge is not stale, but dynamic, secure, and useful in the digital era.

Abstract

The integration of digital technologies into education has emerged as a transformative strategy for addressing challenges in Pakistani private schools. This research investigates the effectiveness of digital tools in designing inclusive and impactful learning plans, employing theoretical frameworks such as TPACK, SAMR, and the 5E instructional model. The study examines how these tools enhance curriculum delivery and student engagement, with a specific focus on platforms like Padlet, Nearpod, and FigJam. This qualitative research utilised a sample of 20 Grade 2 students and 31 teachers from private schools, chosen for their established yet diverse technological infrastructure. The mixed-methods approach included surveys, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations to evaluate the application and impact of digital technologies. The study also explored how these tools align with educational objectives and cater to varying learner needs. Key findings reveal that digital technologies significantly enhance collaboration, critical thinking, and differentiated learning experiences, particularly benefiting visual and auditory learners. However, challenges such as inconsistent internet access, limited resources, and varying teacher competencies were identified. The research proposes actionable strategies to address these barriers, including professional development for educators, improved infrastructure, and tailored digital solutions. This study highlights the critical role of digital tools in fostering scalable and inclusive learning environments. It underscores the need for sustained investment in technology integration and teacher training to ensure equitable access and maximise the potential of digital education in resource-constrained contexts. Future implications suggest adopting innovative models and policies to bridge digital divide and enhance learning outcomes across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The Japanese concept of Kawaii often translated as “cute” or “adorable” has become an emblem of Japan’s global cultural identity. However, beyond its surface charm, Kawaii encapsulates a profound cultural discourse that intertwines emotion, gender, and power. This paper examines the shifting semantics and cultural functions of Kawaii from the Showa period to the Reiwa era, revealing how its meaning evolved from a symbol of fragile innocence to one of empowerment and diversity. Employing a qualitative and multimodal approach, the research draws from historical media artifacts such as Shoujo no Tomo (Girls’ Companion) magazine and contemporary visual representations alongside intergenerational interviews. The findings suggest that Kawaii functions as both a linguistic and ideological framework through which Japanese femininity, consumer identity, and self-expression are negotiated. Ultimately, Kawaii emerges as a dynamic aesthetic category that reflects broader sociocultural transformations, particularly the reconfiguration of gender and affect in modern Japan.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of authorship, anonymity, and power in Kathryn Stockett’s The Help (2009) and its 2011 film adaptation through the theoretical frameworks of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault. Employing qualitative textual analysis, the research explores how authorial identity operates within narratives of racial oppression and how anonymity functions simultaneously as a form of protection and erasure. The findings reveal that while Barthes’ notion of the “death of the author” appears to liberate interpretive authority from the creator, Foucault’s concept of the author-function persists as a regulatory mechanism that governs discourse, authorship, and social recognition. In both novel and film, collective authorship emerges as an ideal yet remains undermined by structural hierarchies that privilege white voices. The adaptation’s shift in narrative perspective further demonstrates how medium and ideology shape the representation of authorship. Ultimately, the study concludes that authorship in The Help cannot be separated from power relations and continues to reflect broader questions of voice, legitimacy, and social inequality.

Abstract

Effective educational leadership is critical for improving teacher performance, yet limited empirical evidence exists regarding how leadership practices influence teaching effectiveness in Cambodia's evolving education system. This mixed-methods study examines the relationship between educational leadership practices and teacher performance in ten high schools across Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Data were collected from 286 participants (158 valid survey responses) including school directors, deputy directors, teachers, and students using surveys, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions. Findings reveal that while 78% of schools implement professional development activities and democratic leadership is preferred (41.5%), significant implementation gaps persist: 53.1% of teachers report inadequate leadership support, 45% indicate misalignment between professional development and their actual needs, and 46.2% experience insufficient follow-up after training. Public schools show more consistent patterns of low support (52.5%) compared to polarized experiences in private institutions. Teachers participating in mentoring programs report substantial improvements (62%), and 68% note enhanced student motivation following professional development. The study demonstrates that leadership effectiveness depends not on professional development quantity but on quality, relevance, and sustained implementation support. These findings extend educational leadership theory by providing context-specific evidence from Southeast Asia and offer actionable recommendations for strengthening leadership capacity and teacher development systems in Cambodia and similar developing contexts.

Abstract

This research examines the Sukatani Band case and their controversial song "Bayar Bayar Bayar," which criticized extortion practices by certain Indonesian police officers and became a voice against social injustice. Through a qualitative case study approach, this research investigates how social movement activity stimulates the emergence and proliferation of visual arts on social media as mechanisms of reflexive response and policy influence. The study analyzes the rise of public expression on Instagram triggered by pressure and alleged intimidation experienced by Sukatani from police institutions, including coercion to reveal their identity and its social impact. Findings reveal that institutional repression paradoxically intensified counter-hegemonic artistic production, with Sukatani's forced apology generating 255 posters from 140 artists within five days. Hashtags #KamiBersamaSukatani and #IndonesiaGelap generated over 600,000 social media posts, ultimately compelling police to reverse their prohibition stance. The study demonstrates how social media has become a strategic space for spreading critical messages, building solidarity, and pushing for policy change. Analysis highlights the role of artists as organic intellectuals who strengthen resistance against political hegemony through artwork and visual communication. The research operationalizes Gramscian hegemony theory for digital environments, revealing how apparatuses of power and apparatuses of hegemony operate simultaneously in social media spaces. Although freedom of expression remains hampered by state repression, public participation through visual arts proves an effective tool in contemporary democracy to voice inequality and dismantle oppressive structures.
