228 - Section on Sociology of Culture Paper Session. Cultural Production, Old and New

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

From book publishing to music, the visual arts, and journalism, cultural production appears to be changing at an increasingly rapid pace with the development of digital technologies. Yet this does not necessarily mean that the structures, practices, and meanings mobilized in the production of culture are being reinvented from scratch. This session invites papers providing original perspectives on cultural production, old and new. Only by comparing traditional and digital forms of arts production can we better understand what is currently being transformed – and what is not – in the cultural industries.
