While it is tempting to consider this as mere market regulation, this article approaches sustainability policies as an opportunity to study political intervention in the symbolic production of culture – correcting a bias in the literature on cultural production to focus on markets over states. Taking the strategic case of fashion, this article asks how UN, EU, and Dutch sustainable fashion policies impact discourses of cultural legitimacy and the structure of the cultural field. Combining field theory with a constructionist policy approach, this article analyses 927 pages of UN, EU and Dutch policy, 7 hours of UN and EU policy meetings, and 74 Instagram posts from an EU sustainable fashion campaign. This analysis demonstrates that political intervention reproduces and restructures symbolic hierarchies in the cultural field. Political actors predominantly target commercial fast fashion, leaving high fashion untouched. Instead, they stimulate a competing discourse of legitimacy based on materiality, and recruit allies in the field to implement this discourse. Based on this analysis, I argue that green political intervention opens a third front in the cultural field, next to the autonomous aesthetic and heteronomous economic poles. Political intervention in culture through sustainability policy thus shifts cultural fields from a dual economy of art vs money to a triple economy that includes sustainability politics too. This suggests the need to reformulate or even entirely reconsider field theory for the study of culture in times of climate crisis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 102042"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933689","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}

Using a mixed-method analysis of 267 elite Korean novelists, I examine how contemporary recognition translates into long-term canonical status and find systematic disadvantages for women in this critical transition. Quantitative analysis demonstrates that while gender alone does not affect anthology inclusion when controlling for other factors, receiving professional reviews increase men’s probability of canonization significantly more than women’s, showing reward-dualism where equivalent achievements yield unequal outcomes. Qualitative analysis uncovers gendered devaluation in critical discourse: Korean literary traditions developed evaluative repertoires where both men’s and women’s autobiographical writing receives recognition for its authenticity, contradicting Western cases where authenticity is predominantly associated with women. This pattern emerged from Korea’s colonial history, which legitimized the use of personal narratives in literary writing as a means of restoring ethnic identity. However, literary scholars systematically elevate men’s contributions to universality and historical significance while confining women’s works within gender-specific categories. This demonstrates that apparent gender parity in evaluative repertoires can mask persistent inequality operating through different pathways. By documenting these culturally adapted mechanisms, this research challenges Western-centric assumptions about how gender hierarchies are maintained in artistic evaluation and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of how gender shapes long-term artistic recognition across different cultural contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 102024"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144781393","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}

These trends are disjointed since they ignore the public discursive spaces surrounding dissidents in their everyday life and hence fail to historicize overt discursive resistance. To bridge this gap, I introduce “discursive nonmovements” which refer to covertly transgressive yet public discursive spaces that are produced independent of the government, social movement organizations, or political leaders. Such spaces facilitate the creation of loose solidarity networks prior to protests and build the foundation for communicating radical dissent in opportune times without the help of political leaders. Further during uprisings, creators turn the discursive nonmovements to overt protest discourse. By analyzing Iranian rap songs prior and during the Women, Life, Freedom movement using critical discourse analysis, I show how songs have changed from implicit, hopeless, allegorical, and melancholic to explicit, hopeful, and vengeful. The transition is a process of “mentioning the unmentionable” which serves as a public open invitation for ordinary citizens to engage in extraordinary acts of resistance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102020"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144535225","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}

This claim is not only recurring among some of the most quoted statements made by literary authors (Eco, 1991; Martin, 20,111; Vargas Llosa, 1984), but it is also at the core of theories within media psychology and literary studies that focus on fundamental motivations for engaging with narratives (TEBOTS, Slater et al., 2014; Storyworld Possible Selves, Martínez, 2014). This study investigates whether this motivation for reading is part of the conscious perception of avid readers, in a comprehensive sample of various contemporary reading practices (books, digital fiction, and Wattpad). In a within-subjects design with an indirect approach, readers (<em>N</em> = 498) were presented with two short literary excerpts (one on the theme of unrealized possibilities and one unrelated “control” excerpt) via an online survey. They were asked to elaborate freely on their immediate reactions and to complete a measure for individual differences on their “sense of possibility” (Musil, 1965), operationalized through the Maximization and Regret (Schwartz et al., 2002) personality traits. Results obtained with a mixed-methods content analysis show that individuals with an active sense of possibility are significantly more likely to report that they regularly experience feelings of longing towards their alternative lives. Additionally, within this subset of readers, 34.5 % also spontaneously mentioned that they read fiction in order to satisfy this longing because it allows them to assume alternative identities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102018"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213216","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 a study of peer effects and achievement in an academic institution, we show how the regression model itself may be understood as positing a network of pairwise influence relations among social actors that produces the outcome as modeled by the regression. Moreover, this network is appropriate for studying homophily (the tendency for individuals with similar characteristics to have social network connections). We push the new, case-oriented thinking about the regression model of Schoon et al. by incorporating information on networks of social relations connecting the cases. We find that, when profile similarity boosts academic performance, high-density social network clusters are discovered. We demonstrate that it is sometimes useful to consider configurations of cases as the “variables” in a regression model.

Over the years, these two perspectives – as distinct strategies or in combination with one another – have been proved well-suited to understand the inherent relationality of cultural phenomena. The present editorial takes stock of the development of such analytical frameworks to look at the recent progress in the study of cultural structures, in continuity with a tradition of sociological research most especially disseminated through <em>Poetics</em>. It develops three core elements in the sociological study of culture: the relational <em>theory</em> mobilised in such study, its relational <em>focus</em> in terms of the cultural entities studied, and its relational <em>methodologies</em>. This special issue gathers ten empirical papers that span cultural consumption, artistic and scientific fields, media usage, and knowledge production, employing various empirical tools available in GDA and SNA to map relational structures in culture.
