Abstract

‘Diversity’ is a heavily freighted and multivalent keyword in the global digital media environment. The recommender systems used by platforms are particularly acute sites of development and debate around the political, cultural and technical issues ‘diversity’ signifies. Drawing on a review of computer science publications on recommender systems in media and entertainment as well as a survey of recent advances in media and cultural policy scholarship, this short article performs a pragmatic close reading of diversity in these intersecting fields. We note that attention must be paid to the specific challenges and politics of diversity not only in particular cultural fields but also in local cultural contexts, drawing on examples from music and SVOD platforms to flesh out these questions and the practical possibilities that arise from them.

多样性 "是全球数字媒体平台文化推荐系统政治的多学科关键词

在全球数字媒体环境中，"多样性 "是一个具有多重含义的关键词。平台使用的推荐系统是围绕 "多样性 "所代表的政治、文化和技术问题进行开发和辩论的重要场所。这篇短文通过对有关媒体和娱乐推荐系统的计算机科学出版物的回顾，以及对媒体和文化政策学术研究最新进展的调查，对这些交叉领域的多样性进行了务实的细读。我们指出，不仅在特定文化领域，而且在地方文化背景下，都必须关注多样性所带来的具体挑战和政治问题，并借鉴音乐和 SVOD 平台的实例来充实这些问题以及由此产生的实际可能性。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
