- This monograph (188pp.), which draws on the author’s PhD, offers a new perspective on cultural entrepreneurship as an embedded activity that is contextualised by social relationships and networks in an urban environment. It is the result of a 10-year research project that included extensive analysis of 15 in-depth interviews, online material, and cultural policy documentation in order to reconceptualise the significance of cultural entrepreneurs’ lived experience. Combining critical cultural labour and entrepreneurship studies, the research examined self-employment in the cultural and creative industries as a distinct category of economic activity characterised by specific modes of work.
