We are proud to announce that the ASA Sociology of Culture Section has awarded Dr. Jun Fang the 2025 Clifford Geertz Prize for Best Article.
His article, “The Culture of Censorship: State Intervention and Complicit Creativity in Global Film Production” (American Sociological Review), offers a powerful account of how state censorship shapes artistic production, introducing the concept of "complicit creativity" to illuminate this dynamic.
Congratulations to Dr. Jun Fang on this prestigious and well-deserved recognition!
