Abstract

In classical stasis, jurisdiction questions are posed within a traditional institutional context where speakers share material proximity and a background consensus. However, in modern literate controversies, it can be difficult to assume either of these kinds of shared experience. This study shows how cultural professionals writing about the Brooklyn Museum controversy used referee design to help constitute the art world jurisdiction. Referee design can extend classical stasis frameworks to help explain jurisdiction in cases where ostensive participants are writers and readers who do not share proximity or a background consensus.
