    Open Access•Marc Verboord, Riie Lotta Solveig Heikkilä et al.•ARTICLE•Information Communication & Society•2026

    In the past decades, radical right-wing parties have gained increasing prominence in European politics, often promoting xenophobia, intolerance towards minority groups, anti-elitism, and anti-democratic sentiments. This paper examines how media and culture predict radical right-wing voting from a cross-national perspective, using survey data collected in 2021 from nine European countries – Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Serbi…

    Open Access•Ossi Sirkka, Simon Walo et al.•ARTICLE•Socius Sociological Research for…•2024•References: 20

    This exploratory study renders it an open empirical question how ordinary people understand the meaning of culture and what are its sociopolitical implications. Using original survey data from over 11,000 respondents across nine European countries, the study focuses on an open-ended question where the respondents defined the meaning of “culture” in their own words. The open-ended answers are scrutinized by structural topic modeling, which allows …

  • Trust repertoires and the reception of institutional responses to the Covid-19 crisis in Europe: A latent class analysis

    Open Access•Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2024•References: 54

    This article examines the role of institutional trust in current European societies. Based on a secondary data analysis of Eurobarometer data (response rate 39.6%), it maps institutional trust repertoires and analyzes their consequences for a crisis that disturbed public life immensely in 2020 and 2021—the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to fight this. Methodologically, it applies a multilevel latent class analysis of 18 institutions. Taking i…

    Cosmopolitanism, which is often defined as openness to other cultures and individuals, is significant for understanding processes of stratification in contemporary, globalised societies that are home to increasingly diverse populations. In this paper, we broaden the perspective on cosmopolitanism to include cultural, interpersonal, and political dimensions. We test the associations between these types of cosmopolitanism and three types of correla…

    The paper contributes to the study of institutional trust by making a connection to “cultural backlash” theory and analyzing more recent forms of news consumption. We examine how trust in politics, media, and science is shaped by “cultural backlash” and media use in nine European countries. We employ representative survey data collected in 2021 in Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingd…

  • Definitely (not) belonging to culture: Europeans’ evaluations of the contents and limits of culture

    Open Access•Semi Purhonen, Marc Verboord et al.•ARTICLE•Poetics•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 58

    Despite the long history of debating its meaning and its current unprecedented ubiquity both in scholarly and popular discourses, little is systematically known about how "culture" is conceived by ordinary people. This paper examines how evaluations of the contents and boundaries of expressive culture are patterned among people in and across present-day European societies, and to what degree these evaluations associate with sociodemographic and p…

  • Validation Repertories of Media Audiences in the Digital Age: Examining the Legitimate Authority of Cultural Mediators

    Open Access•Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•Journalism & Mass Communication…•2022

    This article contributes to the study of legitimate authority and symbolic power in the media field by analyzing what I call the “validation repertoires” of audiences, that is, the various ways individuals combine in a single set of beliefs separate judgments of how valid or worthwhile they regard the opinions of a media worker with a specific institutionalized background. The empirical analysis focuses on cultural mediators and has three aspects…

  • Media usage and political trust among young adults in China: The role of media credibility, trust in sources and political membership

    Open Access•Qiong Gong, Marc Verboord et al.•ARTICLE•Global Media and Communication•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 22

    On the basis of an online survey conducted among young Chinese adults, this study examines how the association between media usage and political trust can be explained by three factors: the mediating roles of the perceived credibility of traditional and social media; the moderating roles of trust in sources – media and non-media sources alike; and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) membership. Analyses support the idea that (1) the perceived credibili…

    This article studies how people across Europe think about cultural value, including cultural heritage, and how this is related to their media usage. Drawing on data from the Eurobarometer in October 2017, which were designed with EU cultural policy goals in mind, we examine which cultural value orientations are most prevalent among citizens in European Union countries, and how these are related to their use of legacy news media and online media, …

  • Music mavens revisited: Comparing the impact of connectivity and dispositions in the digital age

    This article aims to contribute to work on music mavenism with the explicit goals to analyze how important connectivity (e.g. someone social network) is in the way music spreads, compared to dispositions (schemes of perception and appreciation). Concretely, I study how individuals find new music and who are involved in spreading information on music. I use data from a representative survey on the Dutch population to examine this.

  • Internet usage and cosmopolitanism in Europe: A multilevel analysis

    Open Access•Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•Information Communication & Society•2017

    Despite the transnational interconnected nature of the internet, cross-national comparisons in internet usage and their effects are still relatively scarce. Moreover, one of the core intrinsic properties that internet theorists have distinguished, the ability to increase democracy and ‘global understanding’ through its connectivity, has hardly been empirically studied. This paper examines how internet usage affects individuals’ openness to other …

  • The online place of popular music: Exploring the impact of geography and social media on pop artists’ mainstream media attention

    Open Access•Marc Verboord, Sharon van Noord•ARTICLE•Popular Communication•2016•Cited by: 3•References: 14

    Many authors have pointed to the internet’s potential to increase connectivity across the world, which would imply an equalizing effect, yet few researchers have examined this. At the same time, the increasing usage of social media by popular culture celebrities for self-promotion has been signaled. We study the extent to which social media can reduce inequalities in mainstream media attention between artists from central cities in popular music …

    Today's complex film world seems to upset the dual structure corresponding with Bourdieu's categorization of 'restricted' and 'large-scale' fields of cultural production. This article examines how movies in French, Dutch, American and British film fields are classified in terms of material practices and symbolic affordances. It explores how popular, professional, and critical recognition are related to film production as well as interpretation. A…

    This article addresses to what extent literary critics in the United States, the Netherlands and Germany have drawn ethnic boundaries in their reviews of ethnic minority writers between 1983 and 2009 and to what extent these boundaries have changed in the course of ethnic minority writers’ careers and across time. By analysing newspaper reviews, we find that American reviewers less often mention the ethnic background of Mexican American authors t…

This article studies empirically how the process of cultural evaluation is affected by the rise of peer-produced criticism online. More specifically, I examine how the discourse that critics employ to substantiate their aesthetic evaluations differs across media platforms and is affected by the institutionalization of critics, the symbolic …

    This article studies trends in gender inequality in the domain of fiction books between 1960 and 2009 in France, Germany and the United States by analysing bestseller lists and literary award winners. It is argued that gender inequality is larger in fields or genres where more status is at stake for individual agents, as this causes an influx of men who then ‘edge’ women out of the field. The study finds evidence for this mechanism, as the presen…

    In this article we study how the frequency of book-reading - a form of legitimate culture - develops in the period from adolescence to young adulthood and how it is influenced by parents' education, parental reading socialization climate, school and their interactions.

    Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2010•Cited by: 20•References: 33

    The aim of this article is to increase the understanding of how cultural consumers—in this era of increasing Internet usage and more omnivorous cultural taste patterns—use and rate different types of cultural mediators in informing themselves on cultural matters. We focus on how book readers in the Netherlands and Flanders consult critics of varying degrees of institutionalization (experts, Internet reviewers and peers). This research contributes…

  • Female bestsellers: A cross-national study of gender inequality and the popular–highbrow culture divide in fiction book production, 1960–2009

    Open Access•Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•European Journal of Communication•2012•Cited by: 8•References: 38

    This article studies trends in gender inequality in the domain of fiction books between 1960 and 2009 in France, Germany and the United States by analysing bestseller lists and literary award winners. It is argued that gender inequality is larger in fields or genres where more status is at stake for individual agents, as this causes an influx of men who then ‘edge’ women out of the field. The study finds evidence for this mechanism, as the presen…

  • Reading behaviour from adolescence to early adulthood: A panel study of the impact of family and education on reading fiction books

    Open Access•Ineke Nagel, Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•Acta Sociologica•2012•Cited by: 10•References: 26

    In this article we study how the frequency of book-reading - a form of legitimate culture - develops in the period from adolescence to young adulthood and how it is influenced by parents' education, parental reading socialization climate, school and their interactions. In disentangling parental and educational effects we contribute to the cultural reproduction-cultural mobility debate. We use multi-actor panel data on three cohorts of Dutch secon…

  • Assimilation into the Literary Mainstream? The Classification of Ethnic Minority Authors in Newspaper Reviews in the United States, the Netherlands and Germany

    Open Access•Pauwke Berkers, Susanne Janssen et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural Sociology•2013•Cited by: 4•References: 33

    This article addresses to what extent literary critics in the United States, the Netherlands and Germany have drawn ethnic boundaries in their reviews of ethnic minority writers between 1983 and 2009 and to what extent these boundaries have changed in the course of ethnic minority writers’ careers and across time. By analysing newspaper reviews, we find that American reviewers less often mention the ethnic background of Mexican American authors t…

  • The impact of peer-produced criticism on cultural evaluation: A multilevel analysis of discourse employment in online and offline film reviews

    Open Access•Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2013•Cited by: 32•References: 15

    Traditionally, media critics play a central role in the attribution of symbolic value to cultural products. This article studies empirically how the process of cultural evaluation is affected by the rise of peer-produced criticism online. More specifically, I examine how the discourse that critics employ to substantiate their aesthetic evaluations differs across media platforms and is affected by the institutionalization of critics, the symbolic …

  • Dimensions of Conventionality and Innovation in Film: The Cultural Classification of Blockbusters, Award Winners, and Critics' Favourites

    Open Access•Annemarie Kersten, Marc Verboord•ARTICLE•Cultural Sociology•2014•Cited by: 10•References: 43

    Today's complex film world seems to upset the dual structure corresponding with Bourdieu's categorization of 'restricted' and 'large-scale' fields of cultural production. This article examines how movies in French, Dutch, American and British film fields are classified in terms of material practices and symbolic affordances. It explores how popular, professional, and critical recognition are related to film production as well as interpretation. A…

    Marc Verboord, Susanne Janssen•ARTICLE•Journalism Practice•2015•Cited by: 5•References: 26

    In the second half of the twentieth century, the volume, content and appearance of arts journalism in Western daily newspapers have changed significantly in accordance with wider transformations in the arts and journalism. Previous studies have focused on (1) which culture receives attention, (2) the way culture gets attention, and (3) economic pressures underlying transformations. In this article we aim to bring these strands together by analyzi…

    Open Access•Marc Verboord, Giselinde Kuipers et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural Sociology•2015•Cited by: 10•References: 48

    Contributing to research on social processes of cultural de-hierarchization, this article explores how critical recognition in elite newspapers is related to the recognition that authors receive from other agents in the literary field in the past half-century. We distinguish four types of institutional recognition: (a) long-term recognition in literary encyclopedias, (b) short-term recognition through literary awards, (c) recognition through best…

  • The online place of popular music: Exploring the impact of geography and social media on pop artists’ mainstream media attention

    Open Access•Marc Verboord, Sharon van Noord•ARTICLE•Popular Communication•2016•Cited by: 3•References: 14

    Many authors have pointed to the internet’s potential to increase connectivity across the world, which would imply an equalizing effect, yet few researchers have examined this. At the same time, the increasing usage of social media by popular culture celebrities for self-promotion has been signaled. We study the extent to which social media can reduce inequalities in mainstream media attention between artists from central cities in popular music …
