Tri thức chính trị trong đời sống văn hóa Nam Bộ đương đại “Từ truyền thống ứng xử đến bản lĩnh công dân số”

Abstract

The article investigates political knowledge as a distinct form of cultural knowledge specific to the Southern Region (Nam Bo), reflecting the relationship between perception, behavior, and life values amid current social and digital transformation. Building upon a traditional foundation (of loyalty, compassion, and tolerance), people in Nam Bo are currently re-structuring political knowledge through digital culture, expressed via artistic creation, online media, and social discourse. Using qualitative methods (discourse analysis, in-depth interviews, and field observation in Can Tho, Soc Trang, and Bac Lieu, before July 2025), the article clarifies the characteristics and transformation of Nam Bo political knowledge from traditional to modern forms. From this, the author proposes directions for promoting the value of this knowledge to build Vietnamese digital citizenship - a model that integrates national cultural identity with creative adaptation in the digital age.
