[Commlist] Call for paper “20 years of video creation on the Internet” research seminar

To mark the 20th anniversary of video creation on the Internet, we are 
organizing a social research seminar to be held on October 17 and 18, 
2024 on the Condorcet campus in Aubervilliers.

The first video hosting and sharing platforms appeared almost 20 years 
ago. Over these two decades, there have been many developments: some 
fifteen video-sharing services have emerged, several have disappeared 
and most have evolved considerably. On these platforms, content creators 
produce, distribute and monetise content for social networks (Cunningham 
and Craig 2019). Around them, a video creation industry on the Internet 
has gradually developed with many private or institutional players: 
television channels, participatory funding platforms, multi-channel 
networks (MCN), public institutions, etc.

This sector has been the subject of a growing body of literature, both 
internationally (notably Bishop, 2018; Burgess and Green, 2018; 
Cunningham and Craig 2019; Duffy et al., 2021; Glatt, 2023; Kim, 2012; 
Lange, 2008; Rieder et al., 2023) and in France (notably 
Assilaméhou-Kunz and Rebillard, 2023; Bullich, 2015; Coavoux and Roques, 
2020; Heuguet, 2021; Louessard and Farchy, 2018). It has also led to the 
organisation of several research days, which we are following up on. The 
first one was organised by the Prim laboratory in Tours in 2017, then 
more recently in 2021 by Experice in Paris and at a pre-conference of 
the International Communication Association in Amsterdam in 2022.

These two research days will provide an opportunity to look at the 
various aspects of the online video creation economy. This leads to a 
number of points of reflection that will highlight the different 
situations and provide a better understanding of this rapidly evolving 
field:

 1. A historical approach to video creation on the Internet;
 2. The economic models for video creation on the Internet;
 3. The practices of video creators;
 4. The role of socio-technical systems: regulations, algorithms, etc. ;
 5. Intermediaries and other non-creative players in the industry;
 6. A comparative approach to different national and international 
contexts.

We welcome research on creators working on video-sharing platforms such 
as YouTube, Twitch, Instagram Reels, TikTok and others. The organising 
committee would like to point out that work in progress by young 
researchers is most welcome. Paper proposals may be submitted in English 
or French.
