“…Thus, this study illustrates how boundaryless careers are significantly shaped by macro‐level dynamics beyond the immediate control of the individual actor. Previously, Galenson (2006) identified the success of artists as an individual phenomenon and posited a typology of early and late bloomers, while Accominotti (2009) re‐analyzed Galenson's data and showed how these painters' careers peaked in cycles that aligned with the peak of the artistic movements to which they belonged. Thus, career outcomes were not solely an individual phenomenon, but also shaped by social or collective forces.…”

Boundaryless careers are pervasive, and yet we have little understanding of the boundaries imposed by categorization processes upon those engaged in boundaryless careers such as in creative industries and cultural fields. Categorization processes underlie symbolic and social boundaries and this study examines whether transgressing symbolic and social boundaries enhances the likelihood of soaring to eminence or sliding into relative obscurity. This study examined a relatively under-research area-the effects of boundary crossing at specific career stages and the capacity to attain eminence-a place in history. The study reveals the importance of symbolic networks and expanding symbolic boundaries though boundary objects such as buildings for attaining recognition and securing eminence in one's career.

“…Note also that the 13 named individuals not only are extreme in terms of career peaks, but also in terms of the relation of these peaks to their goals and approaches to music composition, which Galenson's typology details quite nicely, in contrast to other models that do not articulate predictions relating individual differences in the creative process to career peak age. Moreover, in terms of making categorical classifications, numerous issues arise that are beyond the scope of this article: for instance, short-lived composers present inherent classification difficulties since their careers did not have much time to unfold (seeAccominotti, 2009), and some other composers (e.g., Beethoven or Debussy) appear to mix characteristics of Galenson's two types (seeKozbelt, 2008c). Indeed, many basic issues surrounding the finder-seeker typology remain unresolved, including the nature of the distribution of age at best work (bell-shaped versus bimodal-see, e.g.,Accominotti, 2009), the dimensional structure of Galenson's typology (mutually exclusive categories, a uni-dimensional tradeoff, or multi-dimensionalseeDurmysheva & Kozbelt, 2010), and the reliability of classification of individuals into the typology (seeGinsburgh & Weyers, 2006; for a more general discussion, seeKozbelt, 2008a).…”

Age and Aesthetic Significance in Classical Music: A Multi-Level Reanalysis of Halsey's (1976) Ratings

Halsey (1976) provided quantitative ratings of the aesthetic significance of classical music masterworks, which have often been used in empirical studies of lifespan creativity. Previous research using the ratings suggests that composers overall show two career peaks, consistent with a recent "finder-seeker" creator typology. Here, ratings for 2533 works by 91 composers were reanalyzed using hierarchical linear modeling, which accounts for the nested structure of the data better than earlier multiple regression methods. In contrast to previous findings, results showed a single-peaked age function for aesthetic significance ratings. Composer-level variance in the slope of the trajectory was accounted for by total amount of masterpiece music composed and by career age at best work, even when those works were themselves removed from the dataset. This implies that composers show strong and consistent individual differences in career trajectories, which are interpreted via the "finder-seeker" typology.The issue of individual differences in the career trajectories and career landmarks of eminent creators has received increasing attention in the empirical literature on creativity, aesthetics, and the arts. One research tradition, emphasizing acquired domain-specific expertise (e.g.

“…Prenant acte de cette limitation, une autre stratégie d'échantillonnage consiste à s'intéresser aux personnes reconnues comme faisant partie intégrante de l'espace professionnel parce qu'elles ont gagné des prix (Dubois & François, 2013), parce qu'elles ont été programmées dans des espaces de diffusion (Giuffre, 1999) ou encore parce quelles ont été reconnues a posteriori comme membres à part entière de la communauté artistique de leur temps (Accominotti, 2009) pour ne citer que quelques travaux. Il s'agit dans ce cas de s'intéresser aux personnes consacrées comme « artistes » par certaines institutions culturelles, sans références à la composition effective de leurs revenus.…”

Théories et Méthodes Échantillonner des populations rares Une expérimentation du Respondent Driven Sampling en milieu musical Sample rare populations. A Respondent Driven Sampling experimentation among musicians PIERRE BATAILLE, MARC PERRENOUD ET KAREN BRÄNDLE Résumés L'échantillonnage de populations dont il est impossible de connaître a priori les contours avec précision constitue un défit majeur en sciences sociales. Certaines solutions ont néanmoins été proposées pour tenter de produire des données fiables dans ce type de cas. Parmi les procédures d'échantillonnage alternatives, c'est indubitablement la méthode du Respondant Driven Sampling (RDS)-« échantillonnage guidé par les répondants »-, apparue à la fin des années 1990 qui a connu la plus forte audience. L'ambition de cet article sera de présenter les points forts et les faiblesses de cette procédure, à travers un retour sur expérience dans le cadre d'une recherche sur des « musicien-ne-s ordinaires » suisses romand-e-s. Il s'agira premièrement de présenter l'outillage théorique, méthodologique et statistique qui structure cette procédure d'échantillonnage. Dans un deuxième temps, on montrera comment le RDS permet de construire des données originales et de qualité par rapport à d'autres procédures plus souvent utiliséesnotamment l'enquête « en ligne »-pour des recherches sur des populations « rares ». Enfin, on reviendra sur les limites de l'échantillon recruté, du point de vue de la structuration du réseau complet des collaborations musicales sur une année de référence. Sample rare populations. A Respondent Driven Sampling experimentation among musicians Sampling populations without clear administrative boundaries is a major issue in social sciences. Some solutions have, however, been proposed in order to gather reliable data on this kind of populations. The Respondant Driven Sampling (RDS) undoubtedly figures as the most widespread of alternative sampling techniques. The main goal of this article is to discuss the strengths and the weaknesses of this procedure through our field work experience on Swiss "ordinary musicians." The theoretical, methodological and statistical tools involved in this kind of procedure will be presented first. Secondly, the article turns to discuss the originality and robustness of data gathered by the RDS method as compared with other more common procedure (like online surveys) in research on "rare" but not necessarily "hard to reach" populations. Finally, the article evaluates the limits of the sample by analysing the structuration of the whole network of musical collaborations.
