In the current study of 229 participants, we tested whether age groups (young vs older adults) and cultural groups (British vs Malaysian adults) differ in their reading habits, and how reading habits related to socio-affective and cognitive ToM. We investigated both fiction and non-fiction reading habits. Our results showed that there was a positive relationship between fiction reading and socio-affective ToM across the whole sample. Associations between reading more fiction and ToM differed depending on the age group and cultural background of participants: only in the older Malaysian group was this correlation significant. Relationships between non-fiction reading and ToM were also positive in older Malaysians, but negative in older British adults. These results indicate that age and cultural groups differ in the relationship between reading habits and the ability to understand others’ mental states, and highlights the need for future research to consider diverse samples and more detailed analysis of reading habits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 101984"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143322237","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}

Specifically, we focus on the stability difference between status and reputation and examine how the status and reputation of directors differently affected their decisions to choose SPFs. Through in-depth interviews and empirical analysis of Korean films from 1994 to 2017, we found support for our hypotheses that both a director's status and artistic reputation had positive impacts on the choice of SPFs, but through different mechanisms: meeting role expectations and reaffirming their reputation, respectively. We further observed that due to the temporal instability of artistic reputation, it interacted differently with the field-level taken-for-grantedness of SPFs and with the individual-level director's genre-specific past experiences in SPFs. However, we did not find any significant interactions between these factors and status, highlighting the stability of status.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 101983"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143163988","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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101961"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","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":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.

Drawing on insights from the “duality of persons and groups” and the “duality of persons and culture,” we develop the concept of Cultural Blau Space as a general tool for exploring cultural consensus. Cultural Blau Space is a multi-dimensional space defined by many measures of personal culture and individuals are positioned within this space based on the similarity of their cultural profiles. We then explore how social groups structure a cultural space defined by political and social attitudes in two ways: within-group homogeneity and cross-group fragmentation. We find that partisan identification and educational attainment play a larger role in structuring this cultural space than ascribed characteristics such as gender, with the former increasing in homogeneity and fragmentation in recent years.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101967"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967841","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}

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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101964"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","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}

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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101966"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","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}
