Professor Department of sociology University of Limoges Member of the Limoges research team of the Gresco Groupe de Recherches Sociologiques sur les Sociétés Contemporaines, University of Poitiers & University of Limoges My research themes in the social sciences field deal with music and, more broadly, with culture.
My focus is on the transformations of social stratification and cultural taste. I conducted a survey on audiences of classical music (new music and 'classical'). I also worked on globalization, with fieldwork on the diffusion of jazz and rock music in Calcutta, India. I attempt to study the consumption and production of music through the industrialization process, its diffusion in the digital age, through social media, and its reception in various locations and in different manners. My first research theme was about the Velvet Underground and Warhol's Factory and the circulation of symbolic capital between popular music and the art world. See my book, Velvet Underground I work closely with colleagues abroad and strongly believe in the virtue of interdisciplinary and comparative research. I have organized several international conferences in Paris (The Industrialization of Music, Palais de Tokyo, 2008; Politics in Art Forms, UCLA, 2013; The Global Circulation of Jazz, Quai Branly, 2013; Classical Music and Its Audiences in the Digital Age, Gaîté lyrique & Hall de la Chanson, 2015). I use mixed methods: statistics and data analysis, from Geometric Data Analysis to linear and APC models, and qualitative methods such as ethnography, cultural history, and in-depth interviews. My current research themes are rooted in cultural sociology and data analysis, with a comparative approach to cultural participation in the US and France.
