Inspired by Bourdieu's field theory and by Sapiro's works on the French literary field, this article demonstrates how the Norwegian writers’ position-takings during WW II were related to their locations in two other sets of structures: the structures in the Norwegian field of literary practices in the 1930s and '40s, and their locations in cultural, economic and social capital hierarchies. Based on data on 308 writers we ask: How did the writers and intellectuals respond to democratic backsliding, loss of cultural autonomy and authoritarianism on the rise?</div><div>Three main literary oppositions were uncovered by way of MCA: Non-Fiction vs. Fiction, Traditional vs Modern literature and Popular vs. Other literature. These oppositions were structured along hierarchies of personal and inherited cultural capital, and of economic capital. The association between literary and political orientations was clear. Urban, modern-oriented writers with upper-class backgrounds had higher probabilities of partaking in resistance, while more marginal, tradition-oriented writers with a lower-class origin had higher probabilities of supporting the occupation; during WWII, the literary elite thus faced both an external shock and a challenge “from below”.</div><div>Out of eight literary clusters, five were political: Academics, Modernists, Proletarians, National Romanticists and Vitalists. Nazi-sympathizing or collaborating writers were overrepresented in latter two. But a Class Specific MCA revealed internal divisions among the Nazi-sympathizing or collaborating writers that did not mirror those found in the global space; distinct hierarchies were at work. When analyzing how a given constellation of factors might produce different outcomes across a population, the integration of MCA and CSA therefore offers a promising approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 101981"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035201","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}

This question is pertinent to organizations promoting collectivist and pluralist ideals. I found that despite espousing creativity and non-conformity, a culturally homogeneous in-group emerged in the organization. This highlights a tension between artistic and social critiques of capitalism, which are often espoused by collectivist organizations. The artistic critique challenges capitalism's instrumentalization of creativity, advocating for meaning and beauty in production. In contrast, the social critique targets inequalities and promotes inclusivity and justice. Members of the organization pursued the artistic critique through creative making but repressed a social critique. The organization's narrow focus on artistic critique led to a form of asceticism, limiting broader social impact. To counteract social closure and uphold collectivist ideals, organizations must actively prevent exclusive in-groups. Addressing economic disparities via alternative funding models and fostering mutual aid can mitigate unintentional hierarchies. Integrating artistic and social goals holistically by expanding the definition of creativity to include instrumental practices can bridge community divides.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 101982"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142989634","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}

Through a cross-national comparative study of electronic/dance music and its various genres from 1985 to 2005, we demonstrate that genre emergence and development are influenced by their embeddedness in different field environments: the environment of proximate genres, the mainstream music market and the transnational field level. The impact of these field environments on the emergence and development of dance genres, however, varies by country. Notably, markets and genre movements are more strongly coupled in the UK and the Netherlands compared to the US. In both European countries, the mainstream success of genres drives their development through a mechanism of differentiation, leading to the creation of new and distinct genres as a reaction against increased visibility in the mainstream music charts. These findings highlight multiple ways in which markets and genre movements can interact, enriching our understanding of how new cultural categories emerge.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 101970"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967860","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}

By using the United Nations resolution on the <em>International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development 2021</em> as a case in point, we argue that the language of this document, which reflects the current hegemonic discourse of creative economy, misses its target when claiming to promote sustainability because it is (1) anthropocentric, (2) growth-focused and (3) methodologically nationalist. Through a discourse analysis of this particular UN resolution, we demonstrate the multiple and conflicting connections between culture and sustainability through the perspective of planetary well-being. The main target of our criticism is the anthropocentric nature of sustainability discourses, but also their unreserved promotion of perpetual economic growth. In response, we articulate the need for a profound cultural shift from anthropocentric worldviews, growth-oriented ideologies, and methodologically nationalist frameworks to enable environmentally engaged cultural policies and citizens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 101971"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967840","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 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. Hip-hop artists are not merely representatives of marginalised groups but are influenced by localised cultural education, which underpins their creative work and informs their use of sophisticated rhetorical strategies to achieve legitimate resistance and promote social cohesion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101962"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758827","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 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.

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.

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}
