_About the course:_

Regulation of digital technologies is high on the EU policy agenda. 
Platforms capture the attention of policy makers due to their dependence 
on user data, impacts on traditional cultural and audio-visual supply 
and demand, transnational reach, and excessive concentration of power. 
Academic approaches focusing on different facets of platforms have been 
many (e.g. Gillespie, 2010; Jin, 2015; Mansell, 2015; Srnicek, 2017; 
Rochet and Tirole, 2003) with selected authors speaking of the rise of 
platform society (van Dijck et al, 2018) and platformisation of cultural 
production (Poell et al, 2021). The main focus of this course will be on 
the role of EU policies on online platforms that affect supply and 
demand of cultural and audio-visual production. Attention will be given 
to unpacking social, political and economic dimensions of 
platformisation, moving beyond deterministic usage of term.

Questions that the course will tackle are: How can we interpret changes 
in EU policies relating to online platforms and cultural and 
audio-visual sectors? How are they balancing market competition with 
cultural diversity and pluralism? Can we talk about European digital 
cultural policies and what are they entailing? What new stakeholders are 
emerging and what new policies are created? What new types of creative 
labour practices are brought about by the online platforms? What 
theoretical frameworks would be best suited to interpret these changes?

We welcome PhD candidate submissions from a wide variety of theoretical 
and/or empirical approaches (e.g. sociology, cultural studies, economy) 
to the study of the impact of platforms on (policy) developments of 
cultural and audio-visual sectors.

The course is offering 2+2 ECTS points (2 for participation and 2 for 
presentation).

Limited number of partial scholarships available.

Deadline for applications: 10^th of April 2022
