But what does the term \"content\" even mean? When did it become ubiquitous? And at what cost? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Kate Eichhorn offers a concise introduction to content and the content industry, examining the far-reaching effects content has on culture, politics, and labor in a digital age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEichhorn traces the evolution of our current understanding of content from the early internet to the current social mediaverse. The quintessential example of content, she says, is the Instagram egg--an image that imparted no information or knowledge and circulated simply for the sake of circulation. Eichhorn explores what differentiates user-generated content from content produced by compensated (although often undercompensated) workers; examines how fields from art and literature to journalism and politics have weathered the rise of the content industry; and investigates the increasing importance of artists' \"content capital\"--the ability of artists, writers, and performers to produce content not about their work but about their status as artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Eichhorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262543281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262543286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023","brand":"Kate Eichhorn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046936768767,"sku":"9780262543286","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04fe55bb-fa3e-40d5-8436-30f5b09fdd8c.jpg?v=1684987341","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/content-kate-eichhorn-9780262543286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
