Abstract

Based on a research that recovers testimonies of audiovisual workers, the article analyzes the fiction crisis in Argentina, in a scenario of a boom of content platforms in the face of a re-regulation by the State that defunds the national industry while it generates benefits for corporate actors and causes alterations in the production cycles, with direct impact on the creation of value, labor relations and labor contracting. This entry reviews the business model of audiovisual platforms, the imposition of rules and the lack of specific regulations.
