          Abstract

          Resumen: El objetivo de esta presentación es el de situar los estudios de televisión en el contexto de las transformaciones tecnológicas que dieron el surgimiento de las plataformas digitales y sus posibilidades de distribución de contenido. Se inicia con una primera advertencia de no caer en determinismos tecnológicos bajo el entusiasmo de las posibilidades que la nueva ecología digital ha traído para la distribución de la televisión, para después hacer una reflexión de las tradiciones académicas que ahora dan cuenta de las nuevas modalidades de lo que constituye lo televisivo en nuestros días. Para ello se presenta una revisión breve de las perspectivas de estudio de la televisión y el surgimiento de los estudios de los medios digitales. En este último rubro, las perspectivas de estudios de infraestructura, de plataformas y de cadenas han cobrado importante relevancia, pues capturan la nueva realidad de la televisión en los tiempos de streaming. Esta presentación está basada en una revisión teórica y metodológica sobre la centralidad de la distribución y su evolución a los estudios de infraestructura (Piñón, 2018, 2019), pero también está guiada por la contribución sobre los estudios de televisión y estudios de medios digitales propuesto por Ramon Lobato (2019).

          Abstract: The goal of this presentation is to situate television studies in the context of the technological transformations which triggered the emergence of the digital platforms and their possibilities of content distribution. It starts with a warning on common assumptions from technological determinism perspectives triggered by the enthusiasm on the possibilities that the new media ecology has brought for television distribution; continuing with a reflection on the academic traditions and the way they account for the new modalities of what television is today. For this purpose, a brief survey on the perspectives of television studies and the surge of digital media studies is presented. In relation to the later, infrastructure studies, platform studies, and network studies have gained relevance because they capture the new reality of television on times of streaming. This presentation is based on a theoretical and methodological revision about the centrality of distribution, and its evolution into infrastructure studies (Piñón, 2018, 2019); but also guided by the contribution on television studies and digital media studies proposed by Ramon Lobato (2019).

            The Platform Society

            Individuals all over the world can use Airbnb to rent an apartment in a foreign city, check Coursera to find a course on statistics, join PatientsLikeMe to exchange information about one’s disease, hail a cab using Uber, or read the news through Facebook’s Instant Articles. In The Platform Society , Van Dijck, Poell, and De Waal offer a comprehensive analysis of a connective world where platforms have penetrated the heart of societies—disrupting markets and labor relations, transforming social and civic practices, and affecting democratic processes. The Platform Society analyzes intense struggles between competing ideological systems and contesting societal actors—market, government, and civil society—asking who is or should be responsible for anchoring public values and the common good in a platform society. Public values include, of course, privacy, accuracy, safety, and security; but they also pertain to broader societal effects, such as fairness, accessibility, democratic control, and accountability. Such values are the very stakes in the struggle over the platformization of societies around the globe. The Platform Society highlights how these struggles play out in four private and public sectors: news, urban transport, health, and education. Some of these conflicts highlight local dimensions, for instance, fights over regulation between individual platforms and city councils, while others address the geopolitical level where power clashes between global markets and (supra-)national governments take place.
