the notion of discoverability is used to explain how cultural workers must adapt their visibility practices to the digital regime to "meet" thier publics. This conference aims to clarify the hiatus between discoverability and socail discovery by proposing a socio-historical method.
Long abstract:
the notion of discoverability is used by both cultural institutions and entrepreneurs to explain how artists and cultural workers must adapt their visibility practices to the digital regime to "meet" thier publics. However, field research seems to show that the social practices of discovery have very little to do with the practices of discoverability encouraged by cultural institutions. This conference aims to clarify, based on research into forms of music consumption on streaming platforms in France and Quebec, the hiatus between marketing and cultural consumption in the light of this concept, by proposing a socio-historical reading of the concept and methods for measuring the effectiveness of cultural policies. Our aim will be to show the limits of the computational approach to analyzing a "natively digital" concept.
