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.
