Bernard Miège 36 poorly reflects the diversity of strategies of the different actors involved and of the activities now managed by the PF, special- ized or general. 2nd Proposition: No reduction of platform intervention to the platforms of large U.S. companies, however dominant it may be: It is this perspective that is at the heart of a research program, PARADICC, which is still ongoing, whose leaders, Vin- cent Bullich and Laurie Schmitt, present the issues (both cre- ation and mediation and territorial inscription) and report them in these terms, refusing to continue: […] as if intermediation were the only relevant step and could work independently of the previ- ous steps. However, it is precisely this trap that we want to avoid by adopting a cross-cutting approach from the outset. It is a matter of thinking of this action of the platforms as integrated into a broader chain of cooperation; the study must comprise in the same movement the strategies of the actors who have deliberately chosen to articulate a potentially global diffusion of their content and a territorial inscription of their activity (Bullich and Schmitt, 2022, unpublished text). 3rd proposal: the necessary registration of platforms in the territories: Consecutively, in relation to the previous proposals and to clarify the approach to cultural and creative PF that is begin- ning to be developed here and there, I will also add the elements of analysis taken from a paper presented at the recent Conference on Public Spaces and Africa (Université Lyon 2, November- December 2022) by Cameroonian academic Nicanor Tatchim: Among the innovative initiatives [...] Kiro’o works on politicization through video games of categories taken from the political game; Stillac Play and Cinaf TV bring, respectively, Camaroonian and African music and cinema to the international scene. All these platforms attempt to build a new perspective on the continent by promoting Africa’s rich cultural diversity (Tatchim, 2022, unpublished text).
