Abstract
In 2015, the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions celebrates its tenth anniversary. During its first decade of existence, it witnessed an unprecedented revolution of the audiovisual landscape. Negotiated at a time when radio, television, film, and recordings on CD or DVD format were dominant, the Convention must now deal with the reality of dematerialization and the digitization of traditional cultural offer, the emergence of new tools and modes of creation, and the development of new cultural practices. The effects of digital technologies on the diversity of cultural expressions are far from neutral.
