Film & TV Occupations and Industries in the Age of Digital and Streaming

The changes brought about by digital technology are central, both in the eyes of professionals in the cultural industries and those who study them. They are often presented as a disruption, or even a revolution, bringing upheaval to the sector or putting it in crisis. By focusing on the uses of technology in film and television, this issue of Symbolic Goods shows that such transformations do not happen abruptly but instead depend on internal dynamics and pre-existing arrangements in these industries. From this perspective, it gathers studies that focus on various points along the audiovisual production process: from the conception and selection of creative projects for production, through production itself (and post-production) to distribution and dissemination. It thereby highlights the ongoing redefinition of professional territories between activities and groups that pre-date digital technology and those that were engendered by its development. It focuses in particular on emerging strategies and forms of intermediation in the age of algorithms and platforms. In so doing, it questions the reconfiguration of professional structures and the division of labour in the audiovisual sector [see no 6, “Making TV”], but also the role of the state in regulating activity and supervising professional groups in these industries.
