Abstract

ABSTRACT The authors adopt a Tibetan cultural perspective (Buddhist core philosophy ‘nonduality’) on the concept of organised dissonance and the four flows model of community organising. Working within the political and technological discourse of Tibet, we map out multiple dimensions of organised dissonance to explore how digital communication technology sustains the niamles. Our analysis highlights how niamle members live a nondual unity of the tension-filled four flows: (1) bureaucratic and technological negotiation of membership, (2) a hybrid, self-organising structure, (3) latent coordination of activity, and (4) contradictory institutional positioning. The study extends the interdisciplinary field of organisational and communication scholarship by examining grassroots organising in a culturally and politically complex international context.
