Research interests
My research focuses on cultural production processes. Merging inspiration from science and technology studies into the domain of sociology of art, I develop a pragmatist approach that turns attention to how evolving objects influence the social settings of their making. Empirically, I have followed creative work practices and valuation processes in film and design.
Some of my research interests are:
Sociology of art, cultural production studies, creative work studies, valuation processes, gatekeeping, cultural intermediaries, cultural entrepreneurship, post-Bourdieusian sociology of art, Actor-Network Theory, qualitative methods.
