Análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica sobre streaming de videojuegos en Twitch

Mabel Andrea Navarrete Vega

Resumen


La investigación explora la producción académica por años sobre streaming de videojuegos en Twitch, resaltando una falta de revisión bibliográfica previa. El estudio usa un enfoque cualitativo, combinando revisión sistemática, análisis bibliométrico y mapeo científico para identificar temas relevantes desde el marco de la Media Ecology. Hallazgos basados en 70
artículos muestran creciente interés desde 2016. A partir de 2020, se enfoca en motivaciones, comportamientos y relaciones de espectadores. Se profundiza en significados asociados al consumo, interacción, compromiso, toxicidad y moderación en los streaming. Se exploran culturas minoritarias como la comunidad queer y mujeres streamers. Se conceptualiza el fenómeno y su monetización. Se refleja desigualdades sociales evidentes en la producción del campo, con predominio asiático, estadounidense e inglés, y escasa representación latina y femenina. Se sugiere explorar la cultura de streaming en América Latina para entender mejor el fenómeno, considerando a los espectadores hispanohablantes en segundo lugar en Twitch.
