Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to share with you the call for papers for the international conference :
*Media and cultural production platforms in the Middle East and North Africa*
*9-10 April 2025*
*Marrakech - Morocco*
In a context where digital streaming platforms are redefining the modalities of access to culture, information, and entertainment, it becomes essential to dissect the multiple facets of this ongoing platformization. It is equally necessary to inscribe the latter within the broader framework of the circulation of these industries.
The conference therefore aims to deepen these reflections and enrich the scientific debate on this issue in the MENA region. Its main objective is to contribute to scientific research on this geographical area, while offering a nuanced perspective on its complexity and diversity, but also while taking into account its disparate heritage in terms of audiovisual and cinematographic production. In this sense, it is crucial to examine the specific socio-political-economic contexts in which these platforms are evolving in a region often and incorrectly perceived as homogeneous.
