In the 2010s, digital platforms swiftly became the dominant way to disseminate media content, promising to make communication transparent in ways that print, cinema, and broadcast never could. The Digital Transparent critically interrogates this claim, arguing that while platforms introduce new transparencies, they also create opacities intrinsic to their technology and architecture.Using Michel Foucault's concept of the dispositif, the book demonstrates that transparency arrangements are always selective, partial, and strategically constructed. It argues that transparency functions both as an opening up of the platform and as a mechanism that enables platforms to govern. Through dispositif analysis of two key transparency devices—the dashboard and the transparency centre—the book examines YouTube, SoundCloud, Facebook, and X.com/Twitter using textual analysis, interface analysis, and interviews with YouTubers.The Digital Transparent is essential reading for students and scholars in media studies, offering a historical perspective on digital platforms that reveals what is genuinely new and what continues from earlier media. It will appeal to those interested in Foucault's work and its application to contemporary media, researchers in transparency studies seeking critical perspectives on communication and distribution, and platform scholars focused on governance, creative practices, and regulation.

Television as we knew it is irrevocably changing. Some are gleefully announcing the death of television, others have been less sanguine but insist that television is radically changing underneath our eyes. Several excellent publications have dealt with television’s uncertain condition, but few have taken the specific question of what television’s transformations mean for the discipline of Television Studies as a starting point. The essays collected in this volume aim to fill this void. Two fundamental questions string the various contributions together. First, is television really in crisis or is the present not so extraordinary when revisiting television’s development? Second, should we invent new theoretical concepts or are our old ones still perfectly relevant? To answer such questions the authors in this volume take up diverse case studies, ranging from the academic series Reading Contemporary Television to Flemish Fiction, from nostalgic programming on broadcast television to YouTube, from tell-sell television shows to public television art in the 1980s.
