About

The Institute of Identity Research (IDmap) is an institute dedicated to acquire comparative data and build
qualitative and quantitative analysis on the topic of Identity. Its projects are especially interested in how the ideas of multilevel identities and their structural manifestations impact and shape people’s daily lives. Thus, the aim of the Conference is an examination of processes of becoming an ethnic entity.Central to the projects is the acknowledgement that ethnicity intersect with other primary identities such as gender, class, sexuality and nationality, necessitates the exploration of social and identity cleavages within ethnically defined communities. Once launched on-line these identities change their nature becoming inclusive, transparent, amorphous and fluid. There are no more national borders of the modernity, old tribes and connections replace them instead. There are no communists, capitalists, socialists but old religious believes take their place. Computer software and ideas build and demolish human-built new associations as in Facebook or Twitter. System administrator and site-manager are given power of the judge when by their will they decide whether a certain message will be shown to the public or whether it be deleted. The power and freedom granted by the Internet are so overwhelming, that the governors and politicians strive to restrict these freedoms by the rules, censorship and laws for browsing the Internet.
