The Industrial Paradigms of Culture and Communication and their Contribution in the Transformations in the Symbolic Goods Industries
Résumé
This paper aims at discussing the links between, on the one hand, changes in the industrialization
and commodification of culture and creation, the development of digital and digital industries and,
on the other hand, anthropological transformations and political changes. Then we propose three
paradigms dealing with culture and communication (Bouquillion, Miège, Moeglin, 2013). The three
paradigms are: the paradigm of convergence, the paradigm of collaboration and the paradigm of
creation. The paradigms present in common the five main characteristics: the ”industrial central
function”; the situation of cultural industries in relation to the actor holding the central function; the
definition of culture; the relationship of social agents to the culture; the key issue of public policy.
