Abstract
A series of differences between traditional rural Vietnamese culture is contrasted with national representations and modern global conceptions of knowledge. Traditional culture both inhibits and stimulates good knowledge promotion. It is argued that there are longstanding features of Vietnamese rural society which would benefit from several wide-ranging initiatives recommended for the future. These initiatives would assist in mediating between the past and the future, and in the development of constructive local practice by national provision of useful knowledge by means of fully networked information and communications technologies. The research is based on an analysis of official publications from Vietnam and recent commentaries about Vietnam, as well as fieldwork evidence from October 2004 to May 2005 and case studies.
