This 2021 funded workgroup focuses on the design of algorithmic recommendation systems for cultural goods. It aims at facilitating interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral discussion about the design and the reception of algorithmic apparatuses in the field of cultural industries (media, cinema, music, publishing, etc).
This space of scientific collaboration proposes to examine the necessary conditions required to build alternatives to dominant models of circulation and commodification of symbolic goods. Empirical or theoretical studies will allow crossing diverse approaches, from communication and information science to sociology of techniques, computer sciences, art and design sciences, etc.
