Aesthetic Perspectives in Information Systems Research: A Hermeneutic Analysis
This academic paper examines how aesthetic philosophy implicitly shapes Information Systems research, identifying four foundational aesthetic perspectives (imitation, sensory experience, world-making, and political doing) that influence what scholars consider worthy of study. The analysis reveals that aesthetic assumptions form epistemic infrastructure that determines research visibility and legitimacy, with implications for how sociotechnical phenomena like algorithmic management are theorized.
