Poetics

期刊简介

Poetics is an interdisciplinary journal of theoretical and empirical research on culture, the media and the arts. Particularly welcome are papers that make an original contribution to the major disciplines - sociology, psychology, media and communication studies, and economics - within which promising lines of research on culture, media and the arts have been developed.

Poetics would be pleased to consider, for example, the following types of papers:
Sociological research on participation in the arts; media use and consumption; the conditions under which makers of cultural products operate; the functioning of institutions that make, distribute and/or judge cultural products, arts and media policy; etc.
Psychological research on the cognitive processing of cultural products such as literary texts, films, theatrical performances, visual artworks; etc.
Media and communications research on the globalization of media production and consumption; the role and performance of journalism; the development of media and creative industries; the social uses of media; etc.
Economic research on the funding, costs and benefits of commercial and non-profit organizations in the fields of art and culture; choice behavior of audiences analysed from the viewpoint of the theory of lifestyles; the impact of economic institutions on the production or consumption of cultural goods; etc.

The production and consumption of media, art and culture are highly complex and interrelated phenomena. Our insight into these broad domains will be considerably enhanced by studies focusing on the interrelationships of the many factors that shape behavior towards art, culture and the media.

Regular Articles

Watching Scripted Fiction: Repertoires of Co-viewing, Time, and Attention to Scripted Series and Movies in Australia

Annaliese Grant, Amanda D. Lotz

The experience of watching scripted series and movies has advanced profoundly in recent decades, but little research has investigated the implications for the social role of these forms of media. Drawing on a novel cross-sectional nationally representative survey of 2,020 Australian adults, this study uses latent class analysis to identify four distinct profiles of viewing scripted fiction. Our analysis explores the varied ways adults spend time with scripted content, devote varied levels of attention to that content, and view with others. We find four categories of viewer, with category membership significantly associated with respondent-rated importance of scripted fiction, knowing what to watch before turning on a viewing device, a number of characteristics of preferred content, and living alone. Though other demographic variables were significantly associated with membership in one category, demographic characteristics were not consistently significant across groups, suggesting these may not be the main drivers of viewing behavior.

Reader-character Identity Interdependence: An Empirical Investigation of Congruence in Identity and Reading

Millicent Weber, Rachel Noorda

This article examines the mutually constitutive relationship between identity, social participation, and reading, through a survey of 3089 readers in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia conducted in 2022. This is driven by an intersectional call to take seriously individualised experiences of identity including diverse and overlapping identities, consider multiple marginalisations, and interrogate normative modes of thinking. This connects to a commitment shared with other scholars of reading practice to undertake research that is simultaneously descriptive and critical. This forms the basis for our survey design, comprehending substantial engagement with readers’ reporting of their own reading practices. We work through multifaceted understandings of identity in our survey, and use this as the basis for examining specific patterns of identity formation through reading practice, and considering how individual experiences connect to larger systemic power dynamics. We find that all readers read for identification with the characters in the books that they read. However, readers who belong to multiply marginalised groups must go against the grain of dominant structures of representation to seek out opportunities for identification in their reading, and still also tend to read across dominant spaces of normativity, whereas readers who belong to dominant identity groups do not similarly read against the grain. Income and education complicate this by potentially dictating access to diverse books. Select readers were confronted by the survey’s interest in identity and reading; while a survey is inherently normative, interesting trends of counter-cultural pushback emerged in free-text spaces as readers navigated the limitations of the tool.

The Conservative Revolution Revisited: The Blending of Art and Commerce in Four Western Publishing Fields

Matthias Kuppler, Henrik Fürst

The publishing industry underwent a profound process of commercialization over the last 50 years. Pierre Bourdieu characterized this commercialization process as a conservative revolution that entrenched existing power relations between corporate and independent publishing houses and submitted editorial strategies to an uncompromising economic logic that is incompatible with artistic concerns. In this study, we revisit the conservative revolution thesis to examine its consequences for the reconfiguration of cultural fields and artistic practices. We draw on detailed information on N = 293 publishing houses and class-specific multiple correspondence analysis to examine the structure and editorial strategies of contemporary publishing fields in France, Germany, Sweden, and the United States. Our findings support but also elaborate upon the conservative revolution thesis. We document oligopolistic field structures in all four countries. A small number of media corporations controls the mass market, monopolizes access to the fields’ economic and symbolic rewards, and marginalizes independent publishers into niche markets. We do not find complete submission to an economic logic but, instead, a strategic blending of art and commerce among corporate and independent publishers. The corporations, in particular, adopted hybrid editorial strategies that combine literary and commercial genres to cement their dominance, revealing how the fields’ transformation ultimately conserved pre-existing hierarchies. These findings have broader implications for theorizing on cultural fields. They suggest that artistic and economic logics are not incompatible and that cultural producers across various field positions successfully combine artistic and commercial strategies.

For The Greater Good? The Disputed Prestige of Private Art Museum Founders in Brazil

Andrea Rozenbaum, Olav Velthuis

This paper explores how the engagement of economic elites with the arts impacts their legitimisation among art professionals. Drawing from interviews with art curators, gallerists, art critics, art collectors, scholars, artists, and museum directors active in the Brazilian art field, we explore how they perceive the founders of private museums in the country. In many respects, interviewees are critical of the founders, particularly regarding their motivations, taste, and character. In order to exclude museum founders as proper members of the art world, our interviewees draw both moral and symbolic boundaries. This does not prevent them, however, from praising founders for their actual accomplishments. These narratives suggest that while elites may seek prestige enhancement, their perception within the art world remains ambivalent at best. This matters because art professionals function as gatekeepers to the art world, as they facilitate access to resources and connections which are valuable for museum founders. We argue that this ambivalence cannot be captured exclusively in the Bourdieusian terms of misrecognition or failed capital conversion. Instead, we draw from Michèle Lamont’s notion of boundary drawing to point at the moral limits which economic elites may encounter when they engage with the arts.

Special Issue on: Duality in the Study of Culture and Society

Mapping Symbolic Ties in U.S. Sociology: Evidence From Doctoral Dissertation Vocabularies

Alex Xiaoqin Yan, Honglin Bao, Tom R. Leppard, Andrew P. Davis

This paper investigates the cultural ties in U.S. sociology defined by the shared usage of cultural symbols across schools. Cultural symbols are operationalized as research focuses from the dissertations of a school’s graduates. We construct a unique pairwise dataset including 6,441 school pairs across 114 schools, detailing their dyadic relationships (e.g., geographical co-residence) and cultural proximity inferred from dissertations. We build a socio-cultural network where a school sends a tie to another when their proximity is sufficiently high. We design computational linguistic methods to identify gatekeeping symbols co-used by reciprocally connected schools within the same cultural niche. Our findings reveal two major school clusters and their research trajectories, with one representing dominant trends in relatively theoretically oriented areas like sociology of culture, economic life, organizations, and politics and the other a more explicit focus on social problems. We further discern key determinants that shape cultural convergence and distinction, including school prestige, geographical co-residence, and institutional classification. In sum, our study proposes a pipeline for measuring cultural ties across schools and understanding the factors that influence the development of duality between schools and schools of thought.
