Despite several high-profile cases and years of #MeToo activism, a lack of systemic change and consistent consequences for many alleged offenders has led journalists and fans to wonder when the popular music and stand-up comedy industries will truly have their ‘MeToo moment.’ In this article, we explain that this moment has already arrived, but has produced inconsistent results in these industries due to the unique cultural and structural obstacles they share, and which frustrate civil sphere actors’ attempts at civil repair. Our analysis draws on Jeffrey C. Alexander’s (2018, 2019) theory of societalization – the process by which institutional crises come to be seen as social problems that demand the intervention of civil sphere actors. We argue that where #MeToo and the popular music and stand-up comedy industries are concerned, the process of societalization has been (and will likely continue to be) ‘blocked’ or ‘stalled’ (Alexander, 2018, 2019). We suggest that the potential for societalization is reduced due to a combination of the arts sphere’s anti-civil values and weak institutionalization in the popular music and stand-up comedy industries.
尽管发生了几起备受瞩目的案件,#MeToo 运动也开展了多年,但由于缺乏系统性变革,许多被指控的违法者也没有得到一致的处理结果,记者和粉丝们不禁要问,流行音乐和脱口秀行业何时才能真正迎来 "MeToo 时刻"。在本文中,我们将解释这一时刻已经到来,但由于这些行业所共有的独特文化和结构性障碍,其结果并不一致,这也挫败了公民领域行动者的公民修复尝试。我们的分析借鉴了杰弗里-C-亚历山大(Jeffrey C. Alexander,2018,2019)的社会化理论,即制度危机被视为需要公民领域行动者干预的社会问题的过程。我们认为,就 #MeToo 以及流行音乐和脱口秀喜剧行业而言,社会化进程已经(并可能继续)"受阻 "或 "停滞"(Alexander,2018,2019)。我们认为,艺术领域的反公民价值观与流行音乐和单口相声行业薄弱的制度化相结合,降低了社会化的潜力。

Artists both desire and dread reviews of their work by media critics. This article draws upon 66 interviews with Swedish novelists in order to examine their experiences of being publicly reviewed. A ‘successful’ reception creates resonant experiences that can be examined on two levels. On the level of interpersonal responsiveness, the authors’ longing to be genuinely understood through the engagement of others with their work is occasionally reciprocated in the reviewer’s reading of their work, resulting in a profound sense of mutual understanding and resonance. In the second dimension, abstracted positioning of the success of the reception is done using indicators of the importance of their book in literary life. The sense of achievement and prestige of having published something important creates resonance and connectedness to the world of literature. The article suggests that artists, through the reception of their works, can be either resonantly or non-resonantly engaged with reviewers’ reading and the indications of their works’ importance.

What impact does music streaming have on the production and aesthetics of popular music? Based on 15 qualitative interviews with Norwegian music creators, this article explores how music production is executed and interpreted under the paradigm of platformization. Following the concept of ‘creativity constraints’ – a concept highlighting the restraining and enabling possibilities inherent in the complex sets of constraints surrounding creative agency – this article proposes an analysis centered around three different views emphasizing the opportunities, the limitations, and the negotiations that are put into play throughout the processes of platformized music production. The article finds that the music creators continuously negotiate between these three different (partly opposing, partly overlapping) views when producing music, of which an exchange between emphasizing the democratizing and creatively liberating potential of platformization, and criticizing the commercializing and creatively standardizing effect platformization (and the attention economy) pose on contemporary music culture, constitutes the analysis discursive point of gravity. In this way, the article highlights various dialectics and contradictions concerning the ways in which popular music production develops under the paradigm of platformization.
