Social Visibility

Not much is known about how the cultural image of predators has been constructed in Western contexts and changed through time. This article reviews representations of lynx in Western Europe. A ‘cultural map’ of lynx in historical contexts is presented, and the ‘social visibility’ of the Iberian lynx in Portugal explored. Since prehistoric times the lynx has been an inspiration, an amulet, a creature gifted with extraordinary capacities but also a food item, and a ‘vermin’ to eliminate. Recently, the Iberian lynx has become a global conservation emblem; once a noxious predator, it is now a symbol of wilderness. Examples show how the species acquired visibility and has been appropriated in contemporary contexts such as logos, ‘green’ marketing, urban art or political campaigns. There is also evidence of a new identity construction in Portuguese rural areas where lynx is being reintroduced, exemplifying a process of objectification of nature.

The Impact

Purpose From the perspective of customer segmentation, most scholars show more interest in the very important person (VIP) customer’s service experience and satisfaction; however, the way in which ordinary customers view VIP services has received less attention. Based on fairness heuristic theory and social comparison theory, this study aims to examine the impact of the social visibility of VIP services on ordinary customers’ satisfaction and explored the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions of this effect. Design/methodology/approach Two experiments were conducted, Study 1 verified the main effect and mediating effect, Study 2 tested the moderating effect. Findings The results show that the social visibility of VIP services decreases ordinary customers’ satisfaction and perceived fairness mediates this effect. The deservingness of VIP status moderates the connection between social visibility and perceived fairness. Research limitations/implications This research changes the objects of VIP services research and focuses on ordinary customers as its main group and expands the scope of social comparisons among customers. Practical implications The findings expand the scope and perspective of research on VIP services and provide guidance to service providers to reduce ordinary customers’ feelings of unfairness so as to improve customer satisfaction. Originality/value This study explores the effect of the social visibility of VIP services on ordinary customer satisfaction from the perspective of perceived fairness, as well as the underlying mechanism and boundary conditions of the effect.

For a sustainable future, the actors of the market need a change in spirit that will elevate the life-chances of people by being an “empowered part” of the economic system. A participative, open knowledge economic and market system that will ensure the material well-being, the social visibility, the happiness and the consciousness of the individual is essential. Crowdfunding, as a recent online social community network market model is to be a new socio-technical system of co-creation through self “making and funding”. The aim of this study is to discuss the role of identification in co-creation for sustainability of newly rising crowdfunding communities. In line with this objective, the following two aspects are clarified: the key characteristics of crowdfunding platforms as online communities and the role of identification for co-creation in online crowdfunding communities.

Social Invisibility

Chapter 6 illustrates the empirical application of the social invisibility component of the invisibility bargain in Ecuador, showing how race, gender, and other markers of difference structure host society expectations of who belongs in the “community of value.” Using an intersectional lens, it teases apart the overlapping structures of exclusion that affect indigenous and Afro-Colombians, other Colombian migrants, and Afro-Ecuadorians quite differently in their access to human security and social integration in Ecuador. The chapter highlights accent as the primary marker of difference that heightens the social visibility of Colombian migrants, and it traces the coping mechanisms—including minimizing difference, reducing social distance, and informal negotiation through intermediaries, that migrants use to avoid the social sanctions of backlash under the invisibility bargain.

San Carlos de Bariloche es la principal localidad turística de la Patagonia argentina. Representa, por su dimensión, a la ciudad más poblada de la provincia de Río Negro y es la tercera en tamaño en la Patagonia. Su crecimiento demográfico ha estado nutrido por diferentes migraciones nacionales y extranjeras. De estas últimas las principales provienen de países latinoamericanos. El artículo apunta a indagar en  la desvalorización de su migración más importante, la chilena, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Esta exclusión se fortaleció entre 1966 y 1983, por las iniciativas estatales que exacerbaron la xenofobia, las persecuciones políticas, la precarización de las condiciones laborales y los cambios en la organización espacial durante los gobiernos dictatoriales del período, esto es, los que se desarrollaron de 1966 a 1973 y de 1976 a 1983. El presente artículo analiza cómo algunos espacios de Bariloche se constituyeron en marcas urbanas que representaron intereses de los sectores más visibles en nombre de la “nación”, al tiempo que revisa dispositivos de resistencia de sectores excluidos de migrantes chilenos, que tuvieron, paralelamente, componentes de construcción espacial. Para este último punto se aborda la construcción de la Capilla Nuestra Señora del Carmen en 1966, construida en el área conocida como “barrio de los chilenos”, que se levantó como una marca alternativa, tanto material como simbólica, para disputar pertenencia, reconocimiento y visibilidad.Palabras clave: urbanización simbólica, xenofobia, turismo, religión, San Carlos de Bariloche.Urban Marks and Social Senses at Issue.  San Carlos de Bariloche, 1966-1983AbstractSan Carlos de Bariloche is the main tourist town in the Argentinean Patagonia. It is also the biggest city in the Province of Río Negro, and the third largest in Patagonia. Its demographic growth has been nurtured by national and international migrations, the most important influence of the foreign population is from Latin-American. This article studies the underestimate that covered the central migration of the city, the Chilean, during the second half of Twentieth Century. This exclusion growth between 1966 and 1983, because of State initiatives that increased local xenophobia, adding political persecutions, fragility in labor conditions, and changes in spatial organization, in the context of the coup d´etat during 1966 to 1973 and 1976 to 1983. This article analyzed the urban marks in Bariloche, that were built taking into account the interests of the hegemonic sectors in the name of "Nation". At the same time, this construction was crossed by forms of resistance designed by different social sectors. Inside them, the activity of Chilean migrants involved the construct of a chapel in 1966, in a place known as “the Chilean neighborhood”, in devotion of the Patron of Chile, the Virgin of Carmen. The chapel and the devotion were erected in order to discuss the logics of pertinence, the ways of recognition and the social visibility.   Keywords: symbolic urbanization, xenophobia, tourism, religion, San Carlos de Bariloche.

Social Visibility

Recent research shows that people not only visit a cultural event because of the quality of what is offered, but also to show something of their personality to relevant reference groups. This “signaling-by-cultural-experiences” can be considered as another variant of conspicuous consumption. The term was coined more than 100 years ago, but some recent developments in consumer behavior, such as a shift from material to immaterial purchases and increased visibility of consumption behavior through social media made conspicuous consumption a relevant issue once again. This appears to be particularly relevant for cultural events, as experiences in this area are ephemeral and can only be transmitted using means which allow the transmission of visual and auditive signals. To achieve the intended result of signaling, the cultural event that has been visited must be made visible and known to those others, otherwise you cannot signal anything. Social visibility is, in other words, a precondition for conspicuous consumption, in particular for visitors to cultural events. This social visibility is the central topic in the present contribution. Paying visits to three cultural forms is the subject of the research: visits to Museums, Classical music concerts, and Cultural festivals. The main conclusion from this study is that the social visibility of cultural visits can clearly be improved. This applies much more to Museums and Classical concerts than to Cultural festivals. As face-to-face communication about cultural visits is currently being done more frequently than communication through social media, the study suggests offering more facilities for communication using social media during cultural visits. However, facilitating social media communication requires overcoming existing barriers. Practical implications are sketched out and respondents’ suggestions for improving the facilities for posting their experiences on social media are presented. The suggestions, as made by the respondents, can provide inspiration for Museums and Classical concert venues.
