Why do affluent people drive used cars, elite chefs praise basic ingredients, and upper-middle-class couples arrange backyard weddings? What makes senior professors feel comfortable dressing down and allows men to bring their kids into the office? This dissertation takes a formal sociological approach to explore the cultural phenomenon of "Status Downplay"-a paradoxical type of status display, where more social status is signaled through a subtraction of status symbols. Based on two-site research (United States and Israel), and using the innovative method of "trigger interviews" along with textual and discourse analysis of texts, images, and artifacts, I conduct a cross-cultural, trans-contextual, multi-perspective analysis of diverse manifestations of status downplay. Articulating the semiotic code of this abstained, indirect, and symbolic status signification, the social pattern analysis uncovers the formal features of status downplay: the implied semiotic contrast to "status-overdoing," the cultural expectations of (additive) "doing" and default assumptions about (the presenter's status-) "being," and the semiotic reliance on cultural classifications of social markedness and unmarkedness-and relevance and irrelevance-that underly this parodical presentation of self. On this basis, I examine status downplay's key semiotic code of performative affordance and asymmetrical semiotic structure-under which socially dominant and culturally unmarked actors are entitled to the social privilege of semiotic flexibility.
