Platforms are the object of considerable hype with a growing global presence. Relying on individual contributions coordinated by social media to finance cultural production (and carry out promotional tasks) is a significant shift, especially when supported by morphing public policies, supposedly enhancing cultural diversity and accessibility. The aim of this book is to propose a critical analysis of these phenomena by questioning what follows from decisions to outsource modes of creation and funding to consumers. Drawing on research carried out within the 'Collab' programme backed by the French National Research Agency, the book considers how platforms are used to organize cultural labour and/or to control usages, following a logic of suggestion rather than overt injunction. Four key areas are considered: the history of crowdfunding as a system; whose interests crowdfunding may serve; the implications for digital labour and lastly crowdfunding's interface with globalization and contemporary capitalism. The book concludes with an assessment of claims that crowdfunding can democratize culture." 517 $aCultural Crowdfunding 606 $aMass media$xEconomic aspects 606 $aCrowd funding 615 0$aMass media$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aCrowd funding. 676 $a658.1 702 $aRouze?$b Vincent 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476823103321 996 $aCultural crowdfunding$92168676 997 $aUNINA
