Abstract

Background: Using the term “cultural diversity” as an analytical framework and normative guideline to assess cultural flows, this article analyzes the catalogs of major platforms for subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) in Mexico and Canada. Analysis: This study systematized the catalogs’ content titles to produce statistics on country of origin as indicators of “supply diversity.” Conclusions and implications: The results reveal that (1) content from the United States and Europe predominates; (2) tech platforms offer a higher degree of international content (“external diversity”) than platforms from traditional Hollywood studios and local companies; and (3) for most platforms, local content is scarce, which could indicate lower “internal diversity.”
墨西哥和加拿大订阅视频点播平台的供应多样性
背景:本文以 "文化多样性 "作为评估文化流动的分析框架和规范准则,分析了墨西哥和加拿大主要订阅视频点播(SVOD)平台的目录。分析:本研究对目录中的内容标题进行了系统化处理,得出了作为 "供应多样性 "指标的原产国统计数据。结论和影响:结果显示:(1) 来自美国和欧洲的内容占主导地位;(2) 与来自传统好莱坞电影公司和本地公司的平台相比,科技平台提供的国际内容程度更高("外部多样性");(3) 对于大多数平台而言,本地内容稀缺,这可能表明 "内部多样性 "较低。
