[Air-L] CFP: Global Perspectives on Platforms and Cultural Production

[David Nieborg]

Dear colleagues,

For a double special issue for the International Journal of Cultural
Studies on “Global Perspectives on Platforms and Cultural Production” we
invite abstracts for short reflection papers as well as long empirical
papers. Abstracts should be submitted by November 6, 2022, and full papers
by May 1, 2023.

Bringing together research from around the world, this issue aims to
revisit central concepts in the study of platforms and cultural production
(e.g., precarity, diversity, public/private, agency, empowerment,
authenticity, governance, modernization, Global South/Global North). The
objective is to use this research as an opportunity for theory building.
Rather than developing universalizing theories based on studies in the
West, or replicating empirical cases across cultures, the idea is to
diversify the geographies of theory. Understanding how platforms shape
social and cultural relations, as well as how they employ data and
algorithms in doing so, calls for new frames of reference.
