Abstract [en]

This study aims to explore how interactive digital narrative (IDN) can develop critical historical consciousness for the intangible cultural heritage (ICH). It proposes that the participants in the IDN experience would exercise three forms of agency: meaningful actions, physical engagement and critical reflections. Together these three dimensions of agency offer diverse perspectives on ICH, reducing the cultural pressure on decision-making, and guide interactors toward critical engagement with historical objects.
