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. Drawing on these results, we discuss the potential of using digital repositories and methods to enhance reflexivity within sociology.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 101732"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43604452","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 case illustrates the meso-level negotiation of community sense (Wohl, 2015) as stakeholders of a genre (romance fiction) debate whether genre boundaries include a new subgenre (erotic romance). Erotic romance upended conventions by introducing explicit and sometimes unconventional sex into the traditionally heteronormative romance genre. However, opposition to subgenre inclusion involved more than sexual content. Drawing on interviews (<em>n</em> = 40) and text data from <em>Romantic Times</em> (<em>n</em> = 360) and <em>Romance Writers Report</em> (<em>n</em> = 180), I find that mainstream incorporation of erotic romance involved community negotiation of multiple symbolic boundary debates: (1) What is acceptable sexuality? (2) What is a real book? (3) Who is a professional author? Erotic romance was fully institutionalized after best-selling <em>Fifty Shades of</em> G<em>rey</em> forced the community to confront all three boundary debates at once. Each debate represents a different symbolic boundary around the mainstream romance genre, but the case can only be fully understood by examining how they intersect. I conceptualize that intersection as the <em>symbolic boundary nexus</em> and argue that analyzing genre classifications as a set of intersecting boundaries is a productive approach for understanding how cultural communities negotiate contested classification processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 101729"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42892809","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}

Established artists in heteronomous fields will be supplanted by newer styles created by new entrants to the field. Market-oriented artists must bend to changing conventions rather than keep to the kinds of cohesive trajectories that shape restricted field careers. Regardless of whether established cultural producers like or appreciate changing conventions in their field, they must respond to emergent movements, norms, ideas, and styles in their own work. Using interviews with 40 commercially successful songwriters, I find that when faced with a new trend, songwriters who stay in the field accommodate new trends through strategic, habitual practices. By adapting to new aesthetic features of trends through “research” or mimicry and by adopting new, trendy artists into collaborative creative groups, established artists can successfully incorporate new trends into their creative labor. These practices allow artists to continue producing relevant creative work despite misalignment between new conventions and their own preferences. Attending to the ways that artists incorporate new aesthetic features and new collaborators into their work contributes an understanding of the everyday practices that lead to trend accommodation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47900,"journal":{"name":"Poetics","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 101711"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43587045","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}
