In this paper, using the Virginia Governor's race as a case study, we ask how a political campaign helped transform Critical Race Theory from an academic theory to an emotionally charged political acronym – “CRT” – thus becoming a symbol evoking, crystalizing, and politicizing moral emotions. We demonstrate how transformative surprises occur in the unfolding performance of public culture: moments when obscure ideas or cultural objects migrate to the center of public discourse and media coverage. Drawing on performance theory, we show how Youngkin successfully “fused” his anti-CRT message with long-standing American cultural ideals to evoke powerful emotional responses. Specifically, Youngkin effectively portrayed his campaign as a grassroots movement of parents protecting children's innocence, the nuclear family, and democracy itself. Simultaneously, Youngkin characterized his opponent, Democrat Terry McAuliffe, as a self-interested career politician and CRT as a divisive, backward political ideology. By tracing these processes, this study provides novel insight into the moral turn in American discourse about race by demonstrating how White racial anxieties manifest in a moral panic about (white) children's endangered innocence. Centrally, we demonstrate the powerful, yet neglected, role of audience emotions in social performances.","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We address the puzzle of how such novel artistic strategies bypassing core gatekeepers can succeed. In this article we analyze the way artists from Central-Eastern Europe strive for consecration via acquisition by the pinnacle museums – Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou and the MoMA – between 1990 and 2018. Our analysis is based on more than hundred thousand exhibition events of about 3500 artists, held at nearly ten thousand venues in 112 countries. We focus on network topology of co-exhibiting relations of venues and artists. We introduce two key concepts to understand success in the multiscalar global art field: geo-capital and the globalizer position. Geo-capital measures the territorial balance of a venue's topological neighbours, capturing a capacity to span boundaries, while the globalizer position marks those venues that can provide artists with global visibility against the territorial core-periphery spectrum on topological grounds. We show that a strategy built on venues in the globalizer position improves the likelihood of consecration more than any other factors. We contribute to prior research by showing the functioning of a relational form of territoriality, that relies on global networks, and provides a mechanism through which global institutional networks can function in relative vertical autonomy within the multiscalar global art field.","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, it remains unclear how best to assess and understand genAI's influence on our understanding of social reality. Building on insights into the representation of social worlds within texts, we introduce a framework for analyzing genAI's content and its consequences for perceptions of social reality. We demonstrate this “synthetic duality” framework in two parts. First, we show that genAI can create, with minimal guidance, reasonable portrayals of actors and ascribe relational meaning to those actors – virtual social worlds within texts, or “Mondo-Breigers”. Second, we examine how these synthetic documents with interior social worlds affect readers’ view of social reality. We find that they change individuals’ perceptions of actors depicted in the documents, likely by updating individuals’ expectations about the actors and their meanings. However, additional exploratory analyses suggest it is texts’ style, not their construction of “Mondo-Breigers”, that might be influencing people's perceptions. We end with a discussion of theoretical and methodological implications, including how genAI may unsettle structural notions of individuality. Namely, reimagining the duality of individuals and groups could help theorize growing homogeneity in an increasingly genAI-informed world.","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores both historical and contemporary policy frames, scrutinizing various approaches to cultural democratization and intersectional equity. From this perspective, we study how the cultural policies advanced by the Barcelona City Council framed inequalities in urban cultural participation and access to culture. The research employs thematic analysis of Barcelona's cultural policy documents and relevant stakeholder interviews to evaluate these frames' problem definition, prognosis, and collective action components. On this basis, the article identifies three main policy frames: constitutive, participatory, and intersectional, which are contrasted with policies implemented in the city from 2019 to 2023, including both pre- and post-COVID-19. The results reveal that although the local administration's policy frame broadly aligns with strategies and narratives of multidimensional participation and pro-intersectional equity frames, it also embeds tensions within and between specific social stratification and constitutive components of cultural policy design.","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142790195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research reconfigures “heritage hip-hop,” suggesting that artists leverage their cultural heritage as a strategic resource in their creative processes, thereby achieving nuanced self and local identities, articulating ideological expressions, and fostering emotional dialogues with audiences. Operating on the fringes of legitimate cultural channels, Huxiang flow artists employ elements like revolutionary historical figures and significant sites to enact legitimate resistance. They also utilise everyday environments to critique internal social divisions, shaping forms of everyday resistance through hip-hop, which resonates with local audiences and fosters collective consciousness. This study demonstrates heritage as dynamic to construct legitimate resistance in hip-hop music under Chinese cultural politics.

To address this gap, we conducted an experimental cross-cultural study (<em>N</em> = 2268) with participants from India and the USA. In line with the Extended Parallel Process Model, we hypothesized that climate fiction combining fear and hope appeals (“ambitopian climate fiction”) would be more effective at stimulating climate action intentions than either fear-appealing (“dystopian”) climate fiction or hope-appealing (“utopian”) climate fiction. The hypothesis was not supported. We found that, in the US sample, dystopian climate fiction was more effective at stimulating climate action intentions than ambitopian climate fiction. However, ambitopian climate fiction was found to be efficient at inducing both hope and fear in both samples and at stimulating climate action intentions indirectly, in the Indian sample, through these emotions.

This article analyses 1898 full-text applications for funding - both the ones that have been awarded funding and the ones that have been rejected - of craftsmen and designers from a five-year range. The applications are analysed with hierarchical Stochastic Block Modelling and Class Specific Correspondence Analysis to reduce the complexity of the data. Using these methods, the structures of both the overall meta-field and the discipline-specific subfields become apparent, and so do the different degrees of homologies and heterologies between subfields and the meta-field and the field of art. Exemplified by four subfields, we identify four different types of homology/heterology: a full homology, a secondary homology, a heterologous artistic pole, and a full heterology. That some subfields of craft and design are homologous to the field of art while others are heterologous exemplifies the process of artification from an institutional perspective. The criteria for being considered artistic varies from subfield to subfield, with some having homologous structures to the art field, while others show a clear heterologous structure, highlighting that subfields can be autonomous from a common meta-field. Some subfields are, however, neither fully homologous nor heterologous but exhibit a mix of both logics.

Indeed, the idea of national homology (namely that the structures of cultural capital would be fairly similar in nations across Europe) has never been really tested, probably due to a lack of cross-national research on cultural preferences. Using data from the EUCROSS survey that took place in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain and the UK (2012–2013, <em>n</em> = 6016), we first use multiple correspondence analysis to estimate the relationships between a set of items on musical tastes. We then extend this through the use of class-specific analysis, to investigate how these relationships vary in each of the six countries. Finally, we analyse the relationships between the underlying dimensions of music tastes and different components of cosmopolitanism, compared with key demographic variables. We show that the musical field significantly varies across the nations represented in the survey, demonstrating that musical preferences remain largely anchored in national contexts. Cultural preferences are shaped by historical and social dynamics specific to each country, with significant variations in the symbolic value and demographic associations of music genres.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101946"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
