Information Systems research shaped by aesthetic viewpoints

This paper explores how aesthetic perspectives influence the direction and recognition of research within Information Systems. It identifies four key aesthetic viewpoints—imitation, sensory experience, world-making, and political doing—that shape how scholars perceive and value sociotechnical phenomena. By making these implicit assumptions explicit, the research aims to provide a framework for understanding how aesthetics impact theorizing, methodology, and the overall contribution of IS scholarship, particularly in areas like algorithmic management and digitally mediated intimacy. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for analyzing how aesthetic biases can shape research questions and findings in AI-adjacent fields like Information Systems.

    Aesthetic Perspectives in Information Systems Research: A Hermeneutic Analysis

    arXiv:2606.09839v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How might implicit aesthetic perspectives shape what Information Systems (IS) scholarship recognises as worthy of study (or not)? In this hermeneutic literature analysis, we surface foundational aesthetic assumptions underpinning …
