Description
A look at how digital and analogue environments impact personal identity and the personal management of identity data
A study by the University in Köln tries to establish “digital self-determination” as research object (first version 2016, current version 2018) and to find out what society and citizens think about their self-determination in digital matters. A fixed theoretical concept of digital self-determination is, according to this study, not normatively clear and in its empirical framework not systematically categorised. The Digital self-determination as research object includes a look at connected linguistic instances like
“self”
“autonomy”
“identity”
which converge in the notion of “personal identity” and are of interest, when talking about self determination in general. digital self-determination is conceptualized via general concept of self determination:
the former is in some sense a use case, or a specific version of the latter.
everything that goes for the general, goes for the specific
