- Zusatztext
- <p>The widespread uptake of digital platforms from YouTube and Instagram to Twitch and TikTok is reconfiguring cultural production in profound, complex, and highly uneven ways. Longstanding media industries are experiencing tremendous upheaval, while new industrial formations live-streaming, social media influencing, and podcasting, among others are evolving at breakneck speed.</p><p>Poell, Nieborg, and Duffy explore both the processes and the implications of platformization across the cultural industries, identifying key changes in markets, infrastructures, and governance at play in this ongoing transformation, as well as pivotal shifts in the practices of labor, creativity, and democracy. The authors foreground three particular industries news, gaming, and social media creation and also draw upon examples from music, advertising, and more. Diverse in its geographic scope,<i>Platforms and Cultural Production</i> builds on the latest research and accounts from across North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and China to reveal crucial differences and surprising parallels in the trajectories of platformization across the globe.</p><p>Offering a novel conceptual framework grounded in illuminating case studies, this book is essential for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand how the institutions and practices of cultural production are transforming and what the stakes are for understanding platform power.</p>
