In the second part, we analysed the case of the digital-theatre season <em>MPA - Marche Palcoscenico Aperto</em>. The MPA project provided funding for artists from the Marche region in Italy to realize online performances between February and May 2021. Eleven focus groups were conducted with 41 of the 60 participating companies. In the third phase, four in-depth interviews were conducted with the project's organisers.

Revised modernisation theory implies that economic development leads to value shift which eventually results in the spread of more liberal social attitudes, including the greater acceptance of sexual freedoms, gender equality, and overall tolerance. These changes penetrate all spheres of social life, including the field of cultural production. Here, one can expect that topics and visual tools employed by filmmakers reflect the ongoing changes. This research focuses particularly on the presence of female and male nudity in films. We use the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) as a dataset that reflects changes in modern societies, as we believe that IMDB represents a vast area underexplored by social scientists. Using IMDb and European Value Study data, we juxtapose the presence of general, female, and male nudity in films and the prevalence of choice values in the given year and country. The sample consists of films produced in 40 European countries between 1960 and 2013. Relying on the IMDb data we identify 34 291 films, with approximately a quarter of them depicting nudity. Using multilevel </span>regression analysis, we find that the probability of female nudity is associated with the prevalence of choice values, whereas male nudity is more likely to appear in films related to the topic of homosexuality. Overall, the paper shows that value changes are reflected through the depiction of female bodies, however, the spread of choice values do not lift the restrictions on the presentation of men.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 101778"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42367394","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}

As Becker argues, art is used to describe “higher status” products made for creative purposes, while craft is defined first by its function, and creative concerns are secondary. However, as art worlds continue to be defined by innovation, and, in pursuit of that innovation, expanded variety, perhaps these polarized categories of art and craft are not entirely distinct, nor do they represent the same institutionalized hierarchical meanings in all sites of creative work. In this article, I draw on analysis of 1380 restaurant reviews and 120 in-depth interviews with critically celebrated chefs to understand how creative workers use categories of art and craft (and the distinctions between the two categories) to define creative work that exists between the worlds of art and craft. I find that producers differentially interpret the meaning of art and therefore differentially conceptualize their work as art, craft, both, or neither of the categories. I detail the variations in these conceptual interpretations to illuminate the ways in which creative producers define both the categories and the dimensions of belonging by which they determine their work's inclusion in (or exclusion from) a particular category. I find that, contrary to the dominant theories of art and craft, chefs embrace association with both art and craft, often together, suggesting that the traditional status hierarchies that these concepts have symbolized may be shifting and that the concepts themselves may not be mutually exclusive in all creative work.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 101705"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45123339","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 specifically highlights the role of two localised, genre-specific value systems (the niche-edm genre and the eclectic genre) to understand how and why the gendered outcomes of genres vary across space. Based on qualitative interviews with 36 (mostly white, male) promoters for nightclubs in Amsterdam, it finds that in one genre of nightclubs (niche-orientated electronic dance music) an informal political culture around gender inequalities has emerged. While this does not change the gendered hierarchies of labour participation, it does alter cultural production practices. To understand the workings of genre further, the article compares niche-orientated electronic dance music clubs with eclectic clubs (pop, r&b, dancehall), where an informal political culture is largely absent. While both genres are characterised by similar gender inequalities in cultures of production, there are differences in the gendered meanings of the club nights the two genres produce. In the eclectic genre, gender is made sense of through regulation, where ‘women-friendly’ functions as a label that essentialises the connection between gender and genre in an attempt to create trouble-free dancefloors. In the niche-edm genre, gender is made sense of through representation on line-ups, which mirrors debates in other artistic disciplines. By deconstructing the ideal of the ‘autonomous artist’ as masculine, critical promoters (and consumers) question cultural classification systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 101713"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304422X22000882/pdfft?md5=6d46e0a8e3c0047f1caf74fc0818f7a9&pid=1-s2.0-S0304422X22000882-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42406597","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 model conceives of public opinion as a field of competition, where positions correspond to stances on issues, and are occupied both by individuals and by major political actors who compete over their support via political communications. Individuals attend to these communications to better develop their political attitudes. Since a large volume of interdisciplinary work suggests that reliably answering survey questions is an acquired cultural competency that requires substantial training to achieve, I use survey response reliability as a key measure of this enculturation. This points me to a concrete question: do patterns of survey response reliability suggest that competing ideological camps focus on the same issues? To answer this, I develop a formal latent class model of position reliability and estimate it with the 2008-2010-2012 General Social Survey panel. I find that more popular positions are generally reported more reliably than less popular ones, as would be expected if ideological camps predominantly focused on issues where they had an advantage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 101710"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136709364","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 analyse the collective patterns of the 500 most notable sociologists on Wikipedia, performing structural, network, and text analyses of their biographies. Our exploration reveals patterns in their historical frequency, gender composition, geographical concentration, birth-death mobility, centrality degree, biographical clustering, and proximity between countries, also stressing institutions, events, places, and relevant dates from a biographical point of view. Linking these patterns in a diachronic way, we distinguish five generations of sociologists recorded on Wikipedia and emphasise the high historical concentration of the discipline in geographical areas, gender, and schools of thought.
