| Where does culture live—in the world, or in our heads? This PDW represents a forum to re-examine cultural entrepreneurship by focusing on the material and cognitive foundations of culture. Research on cultural entrepreneurship has been conducted from a variety of perspectives, but the origins and consequences of culture remain a black box. While some scholars consider culture a material resource or condition at arises through social processes, others emphasize its cognitive and interpretive roots. Both of these approaches have generated important insights regarding cultural entrepreneurship, but it is unclear how best to integrate these perspectives and move forward. In the first part of the PDW, four senior scholars will give presentations that engage directly with this issue. In the second part of the PDW, presenters and discussants will lead roundtable discussions, with the goal of (1) identifying new research questions, methods, and solutions, and (2) growing a community of scholars interested in studying cultural entrepreneurship. |
