Experts in crisis
This paper offers a typology of different groups of “experts” in relation to crisis. While decision-making and leadership are frequently analysed in crisis research, the role of experts who offer advice in crisis is widely underexplored in social scientific research. Based on qualitative interviews, we distinguish between the trouble shooter, the emergency expert, the situative expert, the accidental expert and the trusted advisor. Each of the re…
Planning in the Face of Extraordinary Uncertainty
Hiding in the Spotlight
Multiple challenges plague actors that commodify nature and create markets around products made from natural organisms. Primary among these is the reputational risk that results from negative impressions and moral contestations such as animal abuse, bad labor conditions, or pollution. In this contribution, we draw on cultural economic geography, and in particular the concept of dissociation, to demonstrate how supply side actors deal with such th…
Zur Räumlichkeit von Krisen
From Corona Virus to Corona Crisis
The term ‘crisis’ is omnipresent. The current corona virus pandemic is perceived as the most recent example. However, the notion of crisis is increasingly deployed as a signifier of relevance, rather than as an analytical concept. Moreover, human geography has so far little contributed to the interdisciplinary crisis research field which is fixated on the temporal aspects of crisis but neglects its spatiality. Against this background, the first a…
Creative Class
According to the American economist and urbanist Richard Florida, the “creative class” form a new elite. Creative class members show a strong entrepreneurial capability. They are able to create their own jobs, if necessary. In the age of the creative class people no longer follow jobs; jobs follow people. Cities increasingly compete to attract and retain the creative class. Creative class members value diversity, tolerance, and inspiration and th…
Geographies of dissociation
In this article, we seek to contribute to cultural-economic geography debates on the social construction of economic value. We widen the focus on already well-studied associations between branded commodities and other entities representing nonmonetary values by also considering what we refer to as ‘dissociations’. Dissociation denotes practices of weakening or obscuring negative links between a branded commodity and other entities in order to let…
Positioning and ‘doing’ geographies of dissociation
Inspired by five commentaries on our forum article, in this response article we elaborate on three points related to geographies of dissociation, namely positioning dissociation, dealing with plurality and moving from agenda-setting to empirical research. In order to assess the validity of critique elaborated in the commentaries, we specify the contribution we seek to make. Geographies of dissociation aim to contribute to a strand of cultural eco…
From ignorance to innovation
In this paper, we are concerned with the relationship between creativity, ignorance and mobility. We understand creativity as a social process of recombination, which is strongly shaped by the actors' lack of knowledge (or: ignorance) and thus argue in favor of a conceptual shift: Instead of analyzing creativity from a knowledge perspective, the analytical focus is on the participants' evolving ignorance. In a qualitative multiple-case study rese…
Creativity in arts and sciences
Setting the scene
Open Region
The starting point of the article is the observation of an increasing convergence of regional development and innovation policies. These policies are heavily influenced by territorial innovation models that have been extensively revised since they first came about over 30 years ago. Yet, more recent trends towards digitalisation and conceptual advances towards a time-spatial perspective on innovation processes require a more fundamental re-thinki…

Once You Are In You Might Need to Get Out
The labor market for musical actors is very challenging for several reasons. On the one hand, it is difficult to acquire a position: qualification requirements are high, competition is fierce and reputation is difficult to build up. On the other hand, once in it is often necessary to get out: once being in, market demand for roles with a stage age above 45 drops dramatically and it becomes increasingly hard to stay healthy due to the threefold ex…

Spatialities of Governance - Spatial Imaginations Associated with Market, Hierarchy, Networks and Communities
This paper scrutinizes different modes of governance and their associations to spatial imaginations. Two main contributions are made. First, we outline the state of the art knowledge on coordinated action. We engage with thinking on markets, hierarchies and networks, while emphasizing the insights offered by the literature on communities of practice, which have yet to be considered by these established approaches. Second, we seek to make explicit…

Relational Distance
The author discusses and explores empirically how far the notion of relational distance might improve understanding of the geography of innovation processes. Relational distance is regarded (1) as a multidimensional concept which becomes fruitful when used in a heuristic way; (2) as an interactional effect; and (3) as being enacted in practice. The author illustrates this understanding empirically by presenting an ethnographic case study: the dev…
Situierte Analyse, dynamische Räumlichkeiten
Situated analysis, dynamic spatialities. Starting points, perspectives and potentials of a time-geography of the knowledge based economy. This article explores methodological and conceptual links between economic geography and time geography with regard to a suitable analysis of the knowledge based economy. Starting from three key concepts of time-geography - ‘project’, ‘path’ and ‘diorama’ - the article develops a systematic typology of four dif…

Ibert O. (2007) Towards a geography of knowledge creation: the ambivalences between 'knowledge as an object' and 'knowing in practice', Regional Studies 41, 103-114. This paper juxtaposes two strategies to conceive human expertise and unveils how they mould one's imagination on the spatiality of innovation processes. While the noun 'knowledge' signifies a rationalistic approach and entails a geography that propels an 'argument of agglomeration', …
Bad company? The ambiguity of personal knowledge networks
Recent debates on learning have shifted the analytical focus from formal organizational arrangements to informal personal ties. Personal knowledge networks, though, mostly are perceived as homogenous, cohesive, and local personal ties. Moreover, a functionalist tone seems to prevail in accounts in which personal knowledge networks are seen to compensate the shortcomings of the formal organization. This paper sets out to expand the dominant constr…

The Neglected King
Despite the universal mantra that "the customer is king," the role of the customer has so far seemed to have been confined to a passive recipient of products. Recently, however, this traditional perception has been challenged. On the one hand, users are increasingly appreciated as reflexive actors who are actively involved in the evaluation, modif ication, and configuration of products. On the other hand, beyond the established repertoire to acce…

Von "der" Planung zu multiplen Planungen
Planung bedeutet über Entscheidungen entscheiden. Strategisch kann Planung dann genannt werden, wenn viele Entscheidungen über einen längeren Zeitraum einem Muster folgen und dabei komplexe Ziele realisierbar werden. Strategiefähigkeit ist eine Eigenschaft, die nur kohärenten Akteuren zugeschrieben werden kann. Unter Bedingungen großer externer Unsicherheit und geringer Umweltkontrolle allerdings kann Strategiefähigkeit nur aufrechterhalten werde…
