Description: Platforms and the Global South : Reconfiguring Power Relations in the Cultural Industries, Hardcover by Bouquillion, Philippe (EDT); Ithurbide, Christine (EDT); Mattelart, Tristan (EDT), ISBN 103248991X, ISBN-13 9781032489919, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "This book addresses the issues raised by platforms in the Global South, with an emphasis on the cultural stakes involved. It brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers - including political economists, socio-economists, geographers, media sociologists or anthropologists - who each explore these issues through an insightful case study at a local, national, regional or international scale. While studying the strategies of some of the main US-based Big Tech platforms or video streaming platforms towards the Global South, the chapters also consider the often-neglected active role local or regional actors play in the expansion of those Western players, and highlight the existence of a constellation of local or regional platformsthat have emerged in Africa, Asia, Latin America or the Middle East. In addition to analysing the complex relationships of competition, collaboration or dependence between these diverse actors, this volume examines the ways in which the rise of these platforms has generated new forms of cultural entrepreneurship and participated in the reconfiguring of the conditions in which cultural contents are produced and circulated in the Global South. This volume will be of interest to readers interested in the transnationalisation of cultural industries or in the social, political, economic, cultural and geopolitical dimensions of transformations and will be an important resource for students, teachers and researchers in media, communication, cultural studies, international relations and area studies programmes"--
