What kind of identity are you talking about? Ethnic? Linguistic? National? Gender? I think the idea that global communication technologies “homogenize” culture is a long-running debate in the communication field, going back to the advent of satellites in the 1970s. it is clear that some smaller languages are declining, but Internet’s research and coordination capabilities often help to preserve them. The idea that technology would lead to a single, homogenized global culture has been completely discredited as far as I can see, but perhaps there are some people who still believe that. Generally, the homogenization charge comes from national elites whose monopoly control of state-based cultural institutions is threatened by the new technology. Many of the threats to minority identities come from these very same elites seeking to achieve a homogenized national culture.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">However, in terms of the substantive issues it raises, this one is potentially the most interesting, if you can formulate some more specific questions you want to address.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464434089184_21210" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><br class=""><br class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464434089184_20714" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in; background-color: white;" class=""><i class=""><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;" class="">-</span></i><i class=""><span style="font-size: 7pt;" class=""> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></i><i class=""><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif; background-color: white;" class="">A critical reflexion on the role of civil society in the Internet governance context</span></i><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464434089184_21215" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in; background-color: white;" class=""><i class=""><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif; background-color: white;" class=""><br class=""></span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">MM: another theme we have debated for a long time.
