“…Contemporary sociological theory shows concern about the all-encompassing claims of dualistic theories (e.g Mears 2011, Stark 2009, Thornton, Ocasio, & Lounsbury 2012, Zelizer 2011, and qualitative studies focused on artistic practice find that such practices are only intermittently and problematically oriented to artistic objects (Blanco, Schuppert & Lange 2015, Klett & Gerber 2014, Lindström 2017, Lund 2013, Scarborough 2017, Schwarz 2016, Wohl 2015. The real-world applicability and leverage offered by binary distinctions between (for instance) autonomous and economic values remains a question for many researchers, and it should be clear that a focus on art objects as the primary proxy for artistic practice is incomplete at best and, at worst, profoundly misleading.…”

Sociologicial analyses of artistic practice have long drawn on theoretical traditions grounded in binaries and dualisms. Such analytical strategies, exemplified here by field theoretical approaches, center art objects and their movements in and across markets, where binaristic visions of art worlds do offer significant leverage. But when the analyst moves away from markets for art objects and looks to artistic practices the binaristic lens provides, at best, a blurred image with meaningful blind spots. This article suggests an alternative vision of artistic practice-one based on gravity rather than polarity-that captures the ways individuals and their actions make sense in a specific universe of meaning without forcing them into fundamentally competitive and economistic relationships. It leverages findings enabled by a unique sampling strategy in a four year study of visual artists in the United States to illuminate some limitations of binary theoretical frameworks, and outlines a generative alternative to dualism that promotes new analytical and theoretical directions for sociological analyses of artists and artistic practice. This alternative model provides new leverage on four persistent issues in analyses of artistic work: cultural change in occupational fields; actors' attempts to manage overlapping but incommensurate forms of recognition, reputation, attention, and success; the persistent hegemony of markets for objects in both vernacular and sociological understandings of artistic practice; and questions of visibility and legitimacy central to understanding boundary formation and boundary work in creative fields. The gravitational metaphor promotes a distict set of strategies for the study of artistic work as well as other nontraditional occupations.

Social entrepreneurship is currently viewed as a solution to address various social issues, including welfare, healthcare, education, poverty alleviation, and community empowerment, among others. This research aims to develop a social entrepreneurship concept suitable for Cirendeu Village. The concept of social entrepreneurship is closely related to the 8th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which emphasizes “Decent Work and Economic Growth.” Social entrepreneurship represents a form of business that not only seeks financial profit but also has robust social or environmental objectives. The methods employed in this research include the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Business Model Canvas. Research data were collected from 19 respondents through demographic statements and the distribution of AHP questionnaire matrices. The AHP method serves as a strategy weighting approach and assists in formulating priority strategies for the company. Furthermore, the Business Model Canvas method aims to describe the appropriate business model for the company based on the AHP analysis. The establishment of criteria is a crucial step in the decision-making process. Combining the Process Hierarchy Analysis Method (AHP) with the Business Model Canvas (BMC) can enhance effectiveness, ensuring that AHP criteria align with Business Model Canvas (BMC) elements. The AHP results indicate that the distribution channel is the top priority criterion, with a weight of 0.193. These priority results are then incorporated into the BMC strategy elements, combining both existing and new elements.

“… 4 The concept of the dispositif emerges in cultural industries research in the work of Angela McRobbie (Lindström, 2017), who discusses the “creativity dispositif” whereby its associative discourses are purposefully deployed and serve to frame increasingly precarious labor conditions as rather opportunities for workers to embrace contemporary potentialities within the challenges of today’s deregulated markets. Outside of this work, little is found in relation to this concept in said research. …”

This article considers the practical methodological challenges and variances related to doing research in the cultural industries. More specifically, it seeks to illuminate how considering the specific proclivities of prescribed, historically inflected, fields of study and concomitant sites therein (e.g., in our case study, the infrastructural/cultural dynamics of media organizations in a small, central-European media market) force methodological (re)considerations which can enhance doing practical research in this realm.
