Entrepreneurial capability? Understanding the resources needed for sustainable cultural and creative entrepreneurship in cities. A case study of Enschede, The Netherlands
What sustains creative and cultural entrepreneurship in a city? This paper questions the sustainability of urban policies focused on attracting knowledge-based human capital as a strategy to foster entrepreneurial and creative-driven growth. It acknowledges that the literature on entrepreneurial cities, while connecting with the creative city approach, has commonly imposed growth-led agendas without fully considering the local cultural infrastruc…

Focusing on the case study of Milan, the paper explores the criticalities of the sector and the impact of the pandemic using qualitative interviews and digital ethnography. It highlights how C-19 has exacerbated the effects of neoliberalism on CCWs, il…
Devalued women, valued men
This article contributes to the literature on gender inequality in the creative workforce. Motherhood has been attributed as a determining factor of female under-employment or unequal representation in the creative industries, a problematic claim that distracts attention from operational excluding structures. The article considers why motherhood has become an identified explanation for female under-representation by considering the question: what…
