Abstract

In this paper, we examine the relationship between space and entrepreneurship, understood as organization-creation, by drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s spatial theorizing. Building on an ethnographic study of the Nordic Start-Up Incubator, we focus on the ongoing material, discursive, and affective reconfiguration of space to promote entrepreneurial ‘buzz’. We show how emancipatory promises (smoothings) are entangled with a logic of enterprise (striations), and how this ambiguity is enacted (folds) as organization-creation emerges spatially. This allows us to problematize the distinction often made between entrepreneurial spaces of emancipation and managerial spaces of control and to consider how they may co-constitute each other through subtle twists and turns. We conclude by discussing this multiplicity and ambiguity with regard to the politics of entrepreneurial spaces.

从尘埃到喧闹：重新配置组织创建空间

在本文中，我们借鉴德勒兹和瓜塔里的空间理论，研究空间与创业（可理解为组织创造）之间的关系。在对北欧初创企业孵化器进行人种学研究的基础上，我们重点探讨了为促进创业 "热潮 "而对空间进行的物质、话语和情感重构。我们展示了解放承诺（平滑）是如何与企业逻辑（条纹）纠缠在一起的，以及这种模糊性是如何随着组织创建在空间上的出现而表现出来的（褶皱）。这使我们能够对企业家的解放空间和管理者的控制空间之间经常做出的区分提出质疑，并考虑它们如何通过微妙的曲折共同构成彼此。最后，我们将讨论创业空间政治的多重性和模糊性。

期刊介绍： Organisation Studies (OS) aims to promote the understanding of organizations, organizing and the organized, and the social relevance of that understanding. It encourages the interplay between theorizing and empirical research, in the belief that they should be mutually informative. It is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal which is open to contributions of high quality, from any perspective relevant to the field and from any country. Organization Studies is, in particular, a supranational journal which gives special attention to national and cultural similarities and differences worldwide. This is reflected by its international editorial board and publisher and its collaboration with EGOS, the European Group for Organizational Studies. OS publishes papers that fully or partly draw on empirical data to make their contribution to organization theory and practice. Thus, OS welcomes work that in any form draws on empirical work to make strong theoretical and empirical contributions. If your paper is not drawing on empirical data in any form, we advise you to submit your work to Organization Theory – another journal under the auspices of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) – instead.
