This September 13th, Gradcam Postgraduate Scholar Tommie Soro discusses the discursive construction of artistic reputation at DiscourseNet 22 Conference in Giessen, Germany. Combining Bourdieusian Field Theory with methods of Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics, the study presented contributes a discourse analytical perspective to the current literature on artistic reputation. In particular, the study examines the discursive norms and limits surrounding the use of modifiers, and the discursive construction of cosmopolitanism as a form of cultural capital in the field of contemporary art.
