> Tibetan activists and their supporters are interpreting the lyrical and
> visual symbolism of contemporary Tibetan music videos from China as a call
> for Tibetans to return to a shared Tibetan identity, centered around
> religious piety and implied civil disobedience, in order to counter fears
> of cultural assimilation. As the popularity of some videos on
> social-networking sites dove-tailed with the 2008 protests in Tibet,
> viewers employed a progressive hermeneutical strategy which demanded a
> sectarian political interpretation of the lyrics and imagery of the most
> popular videos out of Tibet. Within China, Tibetans have begun to add
> these videos to the growing canon of an emerging uncivil religion, which
> emphasizes Tibetan cultural, linguistic, and religious autonomy within
> China. Through comparing online and offline ethnography, this article
> explores the relationship between offline and online worlds and the
> connections between Tibetans in China and their supporters.
