Because of economically induced changes in record label contracts, recording artists are now required to cowrite their songs. Despite this obligation, many recording artists are unskilled as writers. For their professional songwriter teammates, using face-work to save the recording artist from the embarrassment of being an unskilled songwriter can be at odds with status maintenance in the larger social community if the collaboration results in a bad song. Interviews with 39 country songwriters revealed two key strategies for orienting the songwriting process toward writing a song that will allow for status maintenance among peers while still attending to group cohesion. Of the two strategies for achieving this goal, most common was a process of commercially oriented “bespoke facilitation” to match songs’ lyrical content to artists’ personal branding goals. In a second strategy, referred to as a “manipulation dance,” songwriters prewrite songs or portions of songs to guide the creative process toward content that will contribute to their status among industry peers. Both strategies rely on songwriters using face-work to be perceived as a “good hang” to keep the recording artist happy while still ensuring that the song is well crafted and will help to build and maintain their status. This study contributes to understanding how an individual working in a collaborative group might orient efforts toward maintaining status in a wider community while attending to group cohesion when the group has mismatched goals, skills, or tastes.

协调小团体的凝聚力和创意合作中的地位:歌曲作者如何促进和操纵共同写作过程

由于唱片标签合同的经济变化,现在要求唱片艺术家共同创作歌曲。尽管有此义务,许多唱片艺术家仍不具备写作技巧。对于他们专业的词曲创作者队友来说,如果合作导致一首糟糕的歌曲,那么使用面部表情来挽救唱片艺术家免于成为非熟练的词曲作者的尴尬,可能会与更大的社会社区的地位保持矛盾。采访了39位国家/地区的词曲作者,他们发现了两种关键策略,可以将词曲创作过程定向为创作一首歌曲,从而在保持同伴凝聚力的同时,保持同伴之间的地位。在实现这一目标的两种策略中,最常见的是以商业为导向的“定制服务”过程,以将歌曲的抒情内容与艺术家的个人品牌目标相匹配。在第二种策略(称为“操纵舞蹈”)中,词曲作者会预先编写歌曲或部分歌曲,以指导创作过程,朝着有助于其在业界同行中地位的内容发展。两种策略都依赖于作曲家使用面部表情被视为“好习惯”,以使录音艺术家保持快乐,同时仍确保歌曲的制作精良并有助于建立和维持其地位。这项研究有助于理解在协作小组中工作的个人在目标,技能或品味不匹配时如何在保持小组凝聚力的同时将努力定向到维持更广泛社区的地位。歌曲作者被称为“操纵舞”,它会在歌曲或歌曲的一部分之前进行预写,以指导创作过程朝着有助于其在业界同行中地位的内容发展。两种策略都依赖于作曲家使用面部表情被视为“好习惯”,以使录音艺术家保持快乐,同时仍确保歌曲的制作精良并有助于建立和维持其地位。这项研究有助于理解在协作小组中工作的个人在目标,技能或品味不匹配时如何在保持小组凝聚力的同时将努力定向到维持更广泛社区的地位。歌曲作者被称为“操纵舞”,它会在歌曲或歌曲的一部分之前进行预写,以指导创作过程朝着有助于其在业界同行中地位的内容发展。两种策略都依赖于作曲家使用面部表情被视为“好习惯”,以使录音艺术家保持快乐,同时仍确保歌曲的制作精良并有助于建立和维持其地位。这项研究有助于理解在协作小组中工作的个人在目标,技能或品味不匹配时如何在保持小组凝聚力的同时将努力定向到维持更广泛社区的地位。两种策略都依赖于作曲家使用面部表情被视为“好习惯”,以使录音艺术家保持快乐,同时仍确保歌曲的制作精良并有助于建立和维持其地位。这项研究有助于理解在协作小组中工作的个人在目标,技能或品味不匹配时如何在保持小组凝聚力的同时将努力定向到维持更广泛社区的地位。两种策略都依赖作曲家使用面部表情被视为“好习惯”,以使唱片艺术家满意,同时仍然确保歌曲的制作精良,并有助于建立和维持其地位。这项研究有助于理解在协作小组中工作的个人在目标,技能或品味不匹配时如何在保持小组凝聚力的同时将努力定向到维持更广泛社区的地位。
