    HOW DO MAINSTREAM CULTURAL MARKET CATEGORIES EMERGE: A MULTI- LEVEL ANALYSIS OF THE CREATION OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC PIERRE-YANN DOLBEC A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ADMINISTRATION SCHULICH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO NOVEMBER 2015 © Pierre-Yann Dolbec 2015 ii Abstract In my research I explore how a new market category is created in an existing market. I contribute to existing research in marketing by developing a novel framework that conceptualizes markets as constituted of three levels, and by explaining the contribution of each level to the creation of a new market category. My findings emerge from a qualitative inquiry of the creation of the category of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). I find that each level contributes differently to the creation of a mainstream cultural category. Local innovation networks (or LINs) unite consumers and producers and provide unique elements that facilitate the creation of new cultural products by consumers. Niches serve as a bridge between these local networks and a mainstream market. Niche actors contribute to the creation of a boundary infrastructure that supports the transfer, translation, and transformation of the knowledge associated with an innovative cultural product. This, in turn, facilitates the movement of an innovative cultural product from a local network to a mainstream market. Mainstream actors diffuse elements of the innovative cultural product and open what Bourdieu calls “a space of possibles”. Niche entrepreneurs and peripheral mainstream actors seize the opportunity to engineer a new cultural category.
