Nodra Moutarou is a PhD student at LabSIC and at the Sorbonne Paris Nord University. Under the supervision of Sarah Labelle and Eleni Mouratidou, her thesis focuses on the locus of the Grammy Awards. The American music awards ceremony is studied as a space of valorization for actors from cultural, merchant, and media industries. Her research interests include reward socio-economics, regulation of the music industries, commercial valorization and remediation of brands, and the spectacularization of media and cultural spaces.
