Weaving a foundational narrative – place-making and change in an old-industrial town in East Germany
In light of economic, social and discursive changes, old-industrial towns and regions increasingly apply entrepreneurial strategies to actively shape discourses as part of place-making processes.Foundational narratives play an important role in this regard.They are used by agents to foster cohesion in a local community, to legitimize and anchor their actions and goals and to make sense of complex development processes.Applying the methodology of …
Loss and change: Culture narratives in old industrial regions in East Germany
Culture is perceived as main driver of the restructuring of former industrial centres in capitalist societies. Hence, it proves useful to adopt a cultural approach to regional development in different dimensions - culture as meaning-making process, as constitutive part of a community’s identity and in an aesthetic sense. The study focusses on culture narratives in two East German old industrial towns. Here, local actors refer to culture both in s…
Power relations and local agency: A comparative study of European mining towns
Local agency is marked by its structural boundedness including nation state strategies. We investigate the dynamic and mutually constitutive interrelationship between agency and state strategies to better understand and explain change in local development with the examples of four mining towns: Kiruna (Sweden), Zeitz (Germany), Most (Czechia) and Tatabánya (Hungary). They embody processes of industrial transition and mining activities that are he…

The impact of deindustrialization and regional restructuring has been particularly strong on regions outside of metropolitan areas, which may be locked in their specific development path and cannot benefit from agglomeration effects. However, scholars are increas…
