“…Theories that are grounded in empirical data show that we live in a world with multiple forms of rationalities (Lamont, 2012;Cefaï et al, 2015). In this paper, we argue that the Aracaju beach bar sub-field is a bazaar of rationalities that are important to the tourism market: Word of Mouth, Expert Recommendation, and Independent Online Review.…”

Economic Evaluation Rationalities (EERs) of beach bar owners are central to the design of different patterns of commercial beaches. We ran multiple correspondence analysis based on data from 16 interviews with beach bar owners in Aracaju (Brazil) regarding their age, gender, educational status, origin, business longevity, use of social media, use of TripAdvisor and the way they measure customer’s satisfaction. The results showed three types of rationalities: word-of-mouth, expert recommendation and independent online evaluation. We also found that social, technological, generational and cultural capitals are active for the distribution of these three types of rationalities in the beach bar sub-field. The research framework can be replicated in different sets of commercial beaches, allowing for comparison, especially in terms of free and/or paid uses of the beach and the degree to which beach bar owners submit themselves to international trends in tourism management.

“…Thinking about valuation, therefore, is not just an academic exercise, it has practical consequences for the world we live in Kjellberg et al (2013). Such is the significance of valuation practices argue Cefai et al (2015), that valuation as a subject should not be considered as simply a subdiscipline of sociology, but rather as a perspective that is common to all aspects of the social sciences.…”

PurposeThis paper examines the calculative practices used by the Slave Compensation Commission to value a slave for the purposes of compensating slave owners on the abolishment of slavery across the British colonies in 1833. It contributes to accounting research in the field of valuation, particularly to understanding the practices of valuing human life.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is primarily archival and draws on the records of the Slave Compensation Commission held at the British National Archives (Kew).FindingsThe paper makes two contributions to the literature. Firstly, it contributes to the valuation studies literature by suggesting the significance of understanding the practice of valuation as a product of the dynamics of strategic action fields (Fligstein and McAdam, 2012). Secondly, it contributes to the theory of strategic action fields by revealing the role of calculative technologies in supporting the organizational apparatus of valuation within the Slave Compensation Commission, and therefore suggests the powerful role of accounting in stabilizing a strategic action field.Originality/valueThe paper provides novel insights into the monetary commensuration of life and the role of calculative technologies in that valuation process.

“…It currently provides the thematic framework for a plethora of different empirical phenomena (Cefaï et al, 2015;Kjellberg and Mallard, 2013;Krueger and Reinhart, 2017;Lamont, 2012). These range from the attribution of monetary or ideational value to material or immaterial goods, such as art (Beckert and Roessel, 2013;Hutter and Throsby, 2008;Karpik, 2010), nature (Fourcade, 2011a(Fourcade, , 2011bThévenot et al, 2000), or human life (Hood, 2017;Zelizer, 1979) to research on formalized evaluation processes, such as credit or hotel ratings (Fourcade and Healy, 2013;Jeacle and Carter, 2011;Orlikowski and Scott, 2014;Scott and Orlikowski, 2012) or university rankings (Espeland and Sauder, 2007;Espeland, 2009, 2016).…”

“…They therefore argue that the aim of valuation studies should be to discuss, before all, what value and valuation are about. Daniel Cefaï et al (2015), too, search for an integrative approach as 'a focus of perspective, transversal to all the social sciences ' (2015: 2). They emphasize that a 'sociology of valuation and evaluation is not only concerned with a specific sector of social life or a minor segment of grand theories' but rather 'opens an intellectual space in which core issues in the social sciences such as interaction, agency, values, norms, collective action, and the role of institutions are discussed ' Cefaï et al, 2015: 6).…”

The sociology of valuation and evaluation is a 'booming field' (Meer and Lamont, 2016: 8) that provides the thematic framework for a plethora of different empirical phenomena. Yet, current debates lament deficiencies in a clear analytical focus and a profound theoretical conceptualization. In this article, we therefore strive for more analytical and theoretical clarity, first, by suggesting an analytical differentiation of value, values, value attribution, and value assessment as the objects of study within this research field. Second, we propose a theoretical conceptualization of valuation as emotional value attribution and evaluation as comparative value assessment. Assuming that value is nothing objectively given, we highlight the role of emotions for answering the question how value attribution relates to the comparative value assessment of persons, practices, ideas, and objects.
