摘要
尽管发生了几起备受瞩目的案件,#MeToo 运动也开展了多年,但由于缺乏系统性变革,许多被指控的违法者也没有得到一致的处理结果,记者和粉丝们不禁要问,流行音乐和脱口秀行业何时才能真正迎来 "MeToo 时刻"。在本文中,我们将解释这一时刻已经到来,但由于这些行业所共有的独特文化和结构性障碍,其结果并不一致,这也挫败了公民领域行动者的公民修复尝试。我们的分析借鉴了杰弗里-C-亚历山大(Jeffrey C. Alexander,2018,2019)的社会化理论,即制度危机被视为需要公民领域行动者干预的社会问题的过程。我们认为,就 #MeToo 以及流行音乐和脱口秀喜剧行业而言,社会化进程已经(并可能继续)"受阻 "或 "停滞"(Alexander,2018,2019)。我们认为,艺术领域的反公民价值观与流行音乐和单口相声行业薄弱的制度化相结合,降低了社会化的潜力。
Accounting For the Limited Success of #MeToo in the Popular Music and Stand-Up Comedy Industries
Despite several high-profile cases and years of #MeToo activism, a lack of systemic change and consistent consequences for many alleged offenders has led journalists and fans to wonder when the popular music and stand-up comedy industries will truly have their ‘MeToo moment.’ In this article, we explain that this moment has already arrived, but has produced inconsistent results in these industries due to the unique cultural and structural obstacles they share, and which frustrate civil sphere actors’ attempts at civil repair. Our analysis draws on Jeffrey C. Alexander’s (2018, 2019) theory of societalization – the process by which institutional crises come to be seen as social problems that demand the intervention of civil sphere actors. We argue that where #MeToo and the popular music and stand-up comedy industries are concerned, the process of societalization has been (and will likely continue to be) ‘blocked’ or ‘stalled’ (Alexander, 2018, 2019). We suggest that the potential for societalization is reduced due to a combination of the arts sphere’s anti-civil values and weak institutionalization in the popular music and stand-up comedy industries.
期刊介绍:
Cultural Sociology publishes empirically oriented, theoretically sophisticated, methodologically rigorous papers, which explore from a broad set of sociological perspectives a diverse range of socio-cultural forces, phenomena, institutions and contexts. The objective of Cultural Sociology is to publish original articles which advance the field of cultural sociology and the sociology of culture. The journal seeks to consolidate, develop and promote the arena of sociological understandings of culture, and is intended to be pivotal in defining both what this arena is like currently and what it could become in the future. Cultural Sociology will publish innovative, sociologically-informed work concerned with cultural processes and artefacts, broadly defined.
