Projekt:Through the lens of DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP: opportunities and challenges of new technologies for the inclusion of indigenous peoples in Latin America

Participation can present particular challenges in the case of peoples whose communities have been dispersed and integrated into the political structures of states, which is the case of indigenous peoples in Latin America. This includes, among other things, voting, membership of a political party, and standing for election. And more than the theoretical principle of participation, effective participation is important for other political and civil rights, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights. As one of the forms of participation, the right of political participation for indigenous peoples is the rights of self-determination, equality and non-discrimination, formulated under UNDRIP and UNPFII. In that sense, digital technologies prove to provide a way for indigenous peoples to communicate among themselves, spread their culture and also to promote citizenship in the sense that they give voice to their own activities and to discuss the intersection between their culture and non-indigenous contexts, beyond television and radio diffusion. The use of digital technologies as tools for indigenous peoples to assert their rights to political participation is a relatively recent phenomenon. To investigate its legal basis and practical implications, the relevant aspects have to be considered via a composite approach assessing a range of international principles and rights and all the normative sphere in Bolivia and Brazil legal order.  The legal engagement of the context of Bolivia and Brazil, together with anthropology, sociology and legal theory is indispensable for the better understanding of how the new technologies are changing the political participation and what are/will be the juridical consequences for democracy. In sum, represented here by legislation, doctrines and jurisprudential examples, the research I am conducting is interested in finding answers to what are the juridical consequences of the legislation about digital citizenship as democratic tool among indigenous peoples and whether it is changing one of the strongest fundamental rights for democracy: the political participation.
