| Popis: |
Aesthetic preferences are considered highly subjective resulting in inherently noisy judgements of aesthetic objects, yet certain aspects of aesthetic judgement display convergent trends over time. This paper present a study that uses literary reviews as a proxy for aesthetic judgement in order to identify systematic components that can be attributed to bias. Specifically we find that judgement of literary quality in newspapers displays a gender bias in preference of male writers. Male reviewers have a same gender preference while female reviewer show an opposite gender preference. While alternative accounts exist of this apparent gender disparity, we argue that it reflects a cultural gender antagonism. |
