Intercultural Information Ethics: Foundations and Applications Rafael Capurro Rafael Capurro Stuttgart Media University Germany

R. Capurro: IIE 3 Overview  Defining the Field  Origins  Recent Publications  The Foundational Debate  The Impact of ICT on Local Cultures  Special Issues  Conclusion

R. Capurro: IIE 4 Defining the Field Defining the Field  IIE in a narrow sense: deals with the impact of ICT on different cultures as well as on how specific ethical ICT issues are understood from different cultural traditions

R. Capurro: IIE 5 Defining the Field  IIE in a broad sense: deals with ethical questions raised by other (than digital) information and communication media allowing a large historical cross-media comparative view.

R. Capurro: IIE 6 Defining the Field  IIE explores these issues under descriptive and normative perspectives.  Comparative studies can be done at a concrete or ontic level or at the level of ontological or structural presuppositions.

R. Capurro: IIE 7 Origins  The international debate: UNESCO First International Congress on Ethical Legal, and Societal Aspects of Digital Information, Principality of Monaco 1997 (and subsequent conferences)UNESCO First International Congress on Ethical Legal, and Societal Aspects of Digital Information, Principality of Monaco 1997 (and subsequent conferences) WSIS (Tunisia 2003, Geneva 2005)WSIS (Tunisia 2003, Geneva 2005)

R. Capurro: IIE 18 Conclusion  IIE is an emerging discipline.  The present debate shows a variety of foundational perspectives with a preference on the narrow view that focuses IIE on ICT.  Comparative studies with other media and epochs are not being considered so far.

R. Capurro: IIE 19 Conclusion  A lot of cultures have not been analized.  I plea for an enlargement of the historical and geographical scope of IIE.  The present debate emphazises the question of privacy but new issues are arising.

R. Capurro: IIE 20 Conclusion  We should deepen the foundational debate on the sources of morality from an IIE perspective.  Ethics understood as the „problematization“ of morality (M. Foucault): this concerns the ontological or structural as well as the ontic or empirical level.

R. Capurro: IIE 21 Conclusion  One important issue in this regard is the question of the universality of values vs. the locality of cultures and vice versa  which is related to the problem of homogenization and hybridization (or „thermocline“) of information cultures and cultural approches to IE.
