Producing shifting personhood: How designers anthropomorphize artificial intelligence
Anthropomorphized artificial intelligence has become increasingly ingrained in the fabric of everyday life, yet sociologists know little about how it is produced. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 21 voice assistant (VA) designers at major technology companies, we examine how designers of VA devices think about how to design anthropomorphization in order to produce a specific user experience. Extending Erving Goffman's theory of personhood, w…

Mapping multivocality: How critics communicate complex meanings through metaphor
Innovation and creativity in creative industries
Creativity is the intentional combination of symbols, ideas, or objects in a way that is unexpected for a given audience. While creativity is a process, innovation is the outcome of this process. Moving from the macro‐level to the micro‐level, I survey the literature on innovation and creativity in creative industries, spanning cultural, economic, and organizational sociology as well as management studies. As a broader market force, uncertainty o…

Performing aesthetic confidence: How Contemporary Art Collectors Maintain Status
In cultural markets, where value is highly uncertain, intermediaries and consumers select products by using status signals, including public metrics and informal recommendations. However, certain intermediaries and consumers risk their statuses and access to informal recommendations if they appear to rely on these status signals. Drawing upon the case of contemporary art collectors in New York City, I reveal that collectors work to maintain their…

Reading and reputation: Sense, Sensibility, and Status in Graduate Education
One of the skills of graduate education that is most central to the evaluation of students is their ability to read and report on complex disciplinary texts. The display of comprehension is central to the judgment of competence, creating a status hierarchy. Demonstrating reading prowess is taken as a transparent indication of intelligence. Based on thirty-six ethnographic interviews with graduate students in sociology, history, and economics, we …
Artistic practices: Social interactions and cultural dynamics
The Active Skim: Efficient Reading as a Moral Challenge in Postgraduate Education
Faculty and students recognize that to succeed in graduate school, the ability to read efficiently and with comprehension is crucial. Students must be able to process information newly presented to them, even when that information seems overwhelming. Comprehending, discussing, and utilizing relevant texts are central to the production of scholars. But what constitutes appropriate techniques of reading, when does one employ various strategies, and…

Community Sense: The Cohesive Power of Aesthetic Judgment
Sociologists have undertheorized the role of aesthetic judgment in group identification. The author argues that the communication of aesthetic judgments in face-to-face interaction powerfully works to confirm or deny feelings of group belonging. The author introduces the concept of 'community sense,' the public face of shared aesthetic judgments that is communicated and upheld within a group. The author illustrates this concept through an ethnogr…
