Description
The widespread adoption of digital platforms is transforming cultural production in profound and complex ways. Long-standing media industries are facing significant upheaval, while new industrial formations such as live-streaming, social media influencing, and podcasting are evolving rapidly. This book explores the processes and implications of platformization across various cultural industries, including news, gaming, and social media creation. The authors examine pivotal shifts in markets, infrastructures, governance, labor practices, creativity, and democracy, drawing on case studies from diverse geographic regions. By building on recent research and accounts from North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and China, the book reveals crucial differences and surprising parallels in the trajectories of platformization across the globe. A novel conceptual framework underpins this analysis, offering insights into how cultural production institutions are transforming and what the stakes are for understanding platform power.
