We believe creativity is the only way to produce culture, and a radical shift in culture is the best way to resolve our societal challenges and create meaningful change.
What would a better culture look like to you? How would it differ from the way we currently live?

#SocialMedia #Platforms #CulturalProduction: "Research on platforms and cultural production is dominated by studies that take the Anglo-American world and Northwestern Europe as their main points of reference. Central concepts in the field, consequently, bear the imprint of Western institutions, cultural practices, and ideals. Critically responding to this state of affairs, this opening essay of the special issue on Global Perspectives on Platforms and Cultural Production, consisting of 20 articles, aims to: 1) challenge universalism, 2) provincialize the US, and 3) multiply our frames of reference. Pursuing these objectives, we bring together ideas from postcolonial and decolonial theory and platform studies in a systematic research program. This global perspectives program allows us to: denaturalize and rethink dominant concepts and ideas through research from around the globe; explicitly thematize and examine the global power relations that structure platform economies; and critically interrogate the knowledge production about these economies."

The Videogame Industry Does Not Exist, my new book with @themitpress is out now! This is my attempt to intervene in how we talk and think about gamemaking as not just an entertainment industry but as a cultural field, built up from complex tensions between commercial and creative pressures and identities.
It's open access, and you can read it here: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5572/The-Videogame-Industry-Does-Not-ExistWhy-We-Should
