Descrição do post.
The event is part of the IAMCR Annual Conferences, which will be held at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. The pre-conference will take place on June 29 and 30 at the same university. The project "The economic governance of digital networks: towards an analysis of Internet markets and competition and their impacts on users' rights", by the Obscom-Cepos group, in partnership with the Political Economy of Information, Communication and Culture Group (PEICC) of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO).
The impacts of the development of digital platforms will be discussed, considering all these changes and the centrality of the new global cultural system in economic, political and cultural terms. To this end, three themes will be discussed that constitute the basic methodological model of analysis of the Brazilian Political Economy of Communications (PEC): (1) at the central level, the problem of labor, which is related to the forms of production of value, labor in the production of platforms and labor mediated by platforms; (2) at the microeconomic level, the relationships between market structures and the strategies of the relevant agents in different countries; (3) at the macro-social level, the problem of sovereign responses, considering regulation, governance, the development of public policies and community alternatives.
