“…For streaming platforms, such as Spotify, discovery has become a way to capture and retain the users' attention. Their business model, based on subscriptions and advertising, depends on attentional devices (Morgan 2020; Siles et al 2019; marketing has theorized attention [Cochoy 2004], which has become central to economic theory since the 1990s [Kessous et al 2010;Citton 2017]). Nevertheless, maintaining the attention of users is not that simple.…”

Pop music lasts. A form all too often assumed to be transient, commercial and mass-cultural has proved itself durable, tenacious and continually evolving. As such, it has become a crucial component in defining various forms of identity (individual and collective) as influenced by nation, class, gender and historical period. Pop Music, Culture and Identity investigates how this enhanced status shapes the iconography of celebrity, provides an ever-expanding archive for generational memory and accelerates the impact of new technologies on performing, packaging and global marketing. The series gives particular emphasis to interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond musicology and seeks to validate the informed testimony of the fan alongside academic methodologies.

“…Parallel to the development of the internet, new concepts emerged to explain the commercial logic: "the gig economy, the sharing economy, the on-demand economy, the surveillance economy, the app economy, the attention economy, and so on" (Srnicek, 2018, p.40). Although each one of these concepts has followers and opponents, the attention economy has gained notoriety (Goldhaber, 1997(Goldhaber, , 2006Lanham, 2006;Kessous et al, 2010;Crogan & Kinsley, 2012;Webster, 2014;Wu, 2017;Nixon, 2017;Myllylahti, 2018Myllylahti, , 2020.…”

“…In the field of sociology, the topic of knowledge management is not an object of research as such, but it appears incidentally in research conducted by multiple teams addressing the sociology of work, sociology of business and organizations, and sociology of economy. The problems are actually centered on new models of organization, skills and ICT (Alter, 2007, 2009; Kessous et al , 2010). Previous works in 1990s and early 2000s focused on the forms adopted by the new productive models, and the place of communication activities (Zarifian, 1996; Veltz and Zarifian, 1993; Veltz, 2008).…”

AbstractPurpose -The sciences of knowledge and the sciences of communication have evolved to become two separate disciplines. The current transformations of technologies, managerial practices, and organization of work, force communication sciences to take into account issues related to cognition. Similarly, the science of knowledge needs to better consider the problems of context, economy and social environment, at a higher level of generalization than just those of individuals or groups. This paper seeks to present how both sciences can better integrate. Design/methodology/approach -Starting from an epistemological study of the use of the word "knowledge" in cognitive sciences and in sciences of communication, the authors developed a framework to analyze knowledge management tools and practices. Findings -The framework developed presents the organizational mechanisms for knowledge management in relation to the artifacts (objects) of communication through which they operate. It highlights the cognitive aspects present in communications. Research limitations/implications -Owing to the general aspect of the framework, some applications in industries might only be relevant to a portion of the framework. Further applications in several contexts are encouraged. Originality/value -The study of the relationship between knowledge and communication aims to bring together the research which puts into perspective the analysis of forms, tools and methods of knowledge management, with the study of associated communication issues. The implementation of knowledge management systems within organizations is often associated with organizational change. The study of communications implied in this change leads to a macro-analysis methodology to appreciate strengths and weaknesses of these mutations.
