文化同质性的矛盾性:创造性群体中的场域位置、语义相似性和社会网络关系

The Ambivalence of Cultural Homophily: Field Positions, Semantic Similarities, and Social Network Ties in Creative Collectives

Nikita Basov

摘要:

本文利用定性,正式和统计的社会语义网络分析的混合物,以研究如何文化同质性的作品时,场逻辑满足实践。一方面,由于处于相似场域位置的个体也被强加了相似的文化取向,文化同质性在主体间社会网络纽带中再现了客观场域结构。另一方面,场域在实践中是可操作的,为了实现语用目标,占据不同场域位置的个体经常加入群体,创造性地重新解释场域施加的文化取向,并产生替代特定位置的文化相似性。利用这些新出现的相似性,文化同质性机制可能会刺激那些占据不同场域位置的成员之间的社会网络联系,从而争夺场域。我在两个创造性的集体中研究了这种文化同质性的矛盾作用,每个集体都包含了更接近文化生产领域的两极的成员。我发现不同类型的文化相似性,影响不同类型的社会网络的关系内和之间的领域的立场:词汇的相似性刺激友谊和合作关系内的立场,从而复制的领域,而隶属于相同的文化结构刺激位置之间的合作关系,从而争夺的领域。后一种效应在民族志数据的统计分析中是可见的,但在文本的定性分析中很容易被监督,因为举报人倾向于在他们明确的陈述中标记与他们立场的一致性。这突出了混合的社会语义网络分析的重要性,既敏感的地方背景下,能够揭开文化和社会之间的相互作用的机制。

英文摘要:

This paper utilizes a mixture of qualitative, formal, and statistical socio-semantic network analyses to examine how cultural homophily works when field logic meets practice. On the one hand, because individuals in similar field positions are also imposed with similar cultural orientations, cultural homophily reproduces objective field structure in intersubjective social network ties. On the other hand, fields are operative in practice and to accomplish pragmatic goals individuals who occupy different field positions often join in groups, creatively reinterpret the field-imposed cultural orientations, and produce cultural similarities alternative to the position-specific ones. Drawing on these emergent similarities, the cultural homophily mechanism might stimulate social network ties between members who occupy not the same but different field positions, thus contesting fields. I examine this ambivalent role of cultural homophily in two creative collectives, each embracing members positioned closer to the opposite poles of the field of cultural production. I find different types of cultural similarities to affect different types of social network ties within and between the field positions: Similarity of vocabularies stimulates friendship and collaboration ties within positions, thus reproducing the field, while affiliation with the same cultural structures stimulates collaboration ties between positions, thus contesting the field. The latter effect is visible under statistical analysis of ethnographic data, but easy to oversee in qualitative analysis of texts because informants tend to flag conformity to their positions in their explicit statements. This highlights the importance of mixed socio-semantic network analysis, both sensitive to the local context and capable of unveiling the mechanisms underlying the interplay between the cultural and the social.
