Aesthetic Dispositions and Cultural Variety: Hierarchical Clustering Analysis for Cultural Preferences in Contemporary Chile

Date:

The presentation investigates the impact of Chile’s neoliberal cultural production reforms on aesthetic preferences and cultural repertoires. Using longitudinal data, the analysis estimates consumer patterns based on variations in aesthetic tastes across ten fields of cultural production. Hierarchical clustering is employed to categorize consumers into three types: omnivores, univores, and those with cultural variety. The study evaluates individual attributes influencing taste preferences, including gender, age, ethnicity, educational attainment, and the aesthetic dispositions reported by respondents.
