The paper challenges the abuse of the concepts of "culture" and "identity" in the context of outreach programs at the University of Illinois, U.S.A. In this particular case, programs intended to benefit minority groups and -more specifically- the Hispanic community, were studied. The article proposes two approaches and describes the consequences of each. The first alludes to a more static conceptualization combined with the ideas of culture and identity where the subjects are viewed as part of an ancestral origin. The second approach considers that the dynamics produced by globalization need to be taken into account and also suggests that this approach makes it possible to demythologise the concepts in question. From this viewpoint it is possible to re-think outreach activities as a space for articulating multiple and diverse discourses.
