[Commlist] ECREA pre-conference: Digtial Content Creators, Platforms and Changing Cultural Institutions

CFP TO ECREA PRE-CONFERENCE: Digital Content Creators, Platforms and 
Changing Cultural Institutions

WHEN: 24 September 2024, from 09:00-15:00.
WHERE:  Ljubljana, Slovenia.
THEME: Commercial and global platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, 
TikTok, YouTube and X form and facilitate cultural productions that can 
be informative, fun, educative, practical, disturbing, and disruptive. 
Their interface logics, algorithmic curation, governance regimes, 
business models, and uses of data set the terms for content creators and 
inform their cultural productions and communications. Platforms also 
generate complex media ecologies with each other and with users, content 
creators, and cultural institutions that produce and circulate content.
These media ecologies provide cultural institutions (like media 
organisations, museums, libraries, theatres, concert halls, cultural 
houses etc.) with opportunities and challenges. The popularity and wide 
use of platforms has led to a web of inter-dependencies influencing how 
cultural institutions operate, communicate, and create content.
This pre-conference addresses the changes platforms instigate with and 
within cultural institutions. Contributions are invited to engage with 
questions that concern how the power to represent and communicate is 
affected by platforms, how cultural institutions use platforms, how they 
create content, how they form affiliations with content 
creators/influencers, and how they communicate with audiences and users. 
We are especially interested in papers that engage with one or more of 
the following themes: - Case studies of cultural institutions and their 
content creation on global platforms - Studies investigating the 
platformed interactions between cultural institutions and their users - 
Studies investigating the internal processes, hierarchies, and power 
dynamics of cultural institutions’ platform communication - Studies of 
collaborations/affiliations between cultural institutions and digital 
content creators/online profiles/influencers - Conceptual and critical 
discussions and interventions - Methodological discussions and 
interventions.
We encourage PhD students and young scholars to submit work-in-progress 
to the pre-conference.
