  Cultural industries of the Global South in the digital age. Diversity of actors and local reconfigurations

  Cahiers d’Outre-Mer n°277

  This special issue of Cahiers d'Outre-Mer proposes to question the articulation between the development of the digital environment and local reconfigurations of cultural industries in the Global South. It aims at better understanding how new technologies have transformed the conditions and modes of creation, production, distribution / dissemination of cultural content (film, music, visual arts, performing arts, literature, etc.) over the past decades in South countries. It also seeks to comprehend the effects on different forms of local innovation, as well as social and territorial asymmetries. Original contributions based on recent fieldworks with a particular attention to spatial and socio-anthropological dimensions are welcome.
