<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The extensive evidence on the non-acceptance of stigmatized actors evokes the question of mechanisms of destigmatization. In this paper we shift the analytical focus from the targeted actor to a self-interested third
party by highlighting the role of valuation “arbitrage” – a practice capitalizing on discrepancies that stigmatization creates between socially-constructed and “objective” value across domains. Its theoretical importance is in prioritizing economic over ideological
concerns, and the pursuit of individual gain over upholding social sanctions. The research context is “black” metal - a music genre that emerged in Norway around 1991, achieving global notoriety when band members were charged with a series of criminal acts.
We analyze destigmatization by estimating the odds of a first record contract of black metal bands with a local or international label. The results expose “arbitrage” by international labels, who bet on “black” in responding to growing global demand by
pursuing closer association between the music and the crimes. Exposed to social pressure, Norwegian labels bet on “white” by downplaying purity and authenticity. The analysis attests to “dual” social evaluation, whereby transgression is reinterpreted in terms
of authenticity. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
