Fashioning an Industry: Socio-cognitive Processes in the Construction of Worth of a New Industry
研究印度高端时尚产业如何通过早期创业者的框架构建以及领域参与者的社会认知过程(如策展、认证、评论、比较等)来建构新产业的价值,提出了分布式圣化的理论模型。
This study of the high-end fashion industry in India examines the process of construction of the worth of a new industry. Analyses of data from multiple sources revealed that framing by early entrepreneurs and the socio-cognitive processes that resulted from the transactions of field-constituents with the new industry constructed the worth of the industry. These socio-cognitive processes—curation and certification, commentary and critique, co-presentation, comparison and commensuration—enabled broader audiences to make sense of the industry and comprehend its worth. The findings form the basis of a general model of the social construction of worth through a process of distributed sanctification, contributing to the growing literature on social construction of value.
