The Cultural Sociology of Art and Music
This edited collection develops the Strong Program’s contribution to the sociological study of the arts and places it in conversation with other cultural perspectives in the field. Presenting some of the newest and most original research by both renowned figures and early career scholars, the volume marks a new stage in the development of the cultural sociology of art and music. The chapters in Part 1 set new agendas by reflecting on the field’s history, presenting theoretical innovations, and suggesting future directions for research. Part 2 explores aesthetic issues and challenges in the creation, experience, and interpretation of art and music. Part 3 focuses on the material environments and social settings where people engage with art and music. In Part 4, the contributors examine controversies about music and contestation over artistic matters, whether in the public sphere, in the American judicial system, or in an emerging academic discipline. The editor’s introduction and Ron Eyerman's afterword place the chapters in context and reflect on their collective contribution to meaning-centered sociology.
Contemporary Artist Residencies
Artist residencies provide space, time, and concentration for making art, doing research and for reflection. Residencies are crucial nodes in international circulation and career development, but also invaluable infrastructures for critical thinking and artistic experimentation, cross-cultural collaboration, interdisciplinary knowledge production, and site-specific research. The globalization process and the demands of the creative economy have had an impact on artist residencies. Ecological and geopolitical urgencies are now also affecting them more and more. In response, many residencies today actively search for more sustainable alternatives than the current neoliberal condition allows for artistic practice. With a range of critical insights from the field of residencies, this book asks what the present role of artist residencies is in relation to artists and the art ecosystem amid transformations in society.

Writing in Residence
Meilenstein literarischer Karrieren und Gatekeeper des Literaturbetriebs, entscheidendes Instrument der Kulturförderung und Außenkulturpolitik, Rückzugsort und Inspirationsquelle für Schreibende, Drehkreuz künstlerischer Mobilität – all dies und vieles mehr sollen deutsche Residenzprogramme im Ausland sein. Zu diesem globalen, von Akteuren wie dem Auswärtigen Amt und dem Goethe-Institut koordinierten Netzwerk gehören ambitionierte Institutionen wie die Villa Massimo in Rom, die Villa Aurora in Los Angeles, die Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto und die Kulturakademie Tarabya in Istanbul. Welche Ziele verfolgen diese und weitere deutsche Residenzprogramme im Ausland? Nach welchen Kriterien fördern sie Literatur? Was für ein Bild literarischen Schaffens kultivieren sie? Welche Wirkungen hat diese Förderung auf die Formen der Literatur und des Literaturbetriebs, welche Effekte hat sie für die Schreibenden? Mit diesen Fragen setzt sich der vorliegende Band auseinander, indem er ein breites Spektrum von politikwissenschaftlichen, kultursoziologischen und literatur- bzw. theaterwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen und Fallstudien zusammenführt.
