Short introduction on the state of the art

As Ms. Dorothy Gordon, chair of the Bureau of the IFAP Intergovernmental Council outlined on the

“World Treasury of Mother Tongues: Nourish and Cherish. National And International Context,

Policies and Practices to Preserve Indigenous Languages” July 2022, we are now on the move from

the “society” we know since quite a long time to a new society based on a pervasive role of cyber

technology mainly based on connectivity and real time communication in the general framework of

globalization. Is this a society relevant advance or a nightmare? One of the potential final goals of

digital transition is to transfer under the digital domain all the activities and procedures. Who is in

charge to “rule” this pervasive digital domain recently termed “Metaverse”?
