platforms in the field of information, communication and culture.

Description: This post-conference will highlight insights from scholars all
over the world working on online communication and culture platforms. We 
seek
to broaden ideas of what are the main characteristics of online platforms,
raising questions about the ways in which this new enterprise form is
connected with previous long-term trends and what is really new in its
performance. Complementarily, we are interested in thinking about the design
and implementation of public policies whose purpose is to regulate the
functioning of digital platforms in the field of information, communication
and culture.

*Date and time: Friday, 12 July, 2019 - 09h00 to 17h30 *

We are seeking contributions that discuss how operate online platforms? What
are the characteristics of "platforming" compared to other forms of
organization of the culture and communication industries? Do online 
platforms
contribute to the online diversity of cultural expressions? Do they 
express a
more concentrate cultural and communication worldwide market? How do they
challenge existing public policies, especially policies
for the cultural and communication industries, or how do they rely on 
some of
these policies to assert themselves?

This IAMCR 2019 post-conference aims to bring together insights from 
scholars
all over the world working on the current presence of the online 
communication
and cultural platforms. We seek to broaden ideas of what are the main
characteristics of online platforms, raising questions about the ways in 
which
this new enterprise form is connected with previous long-term trends and 
what
is really new in his performance.
