Abstract

The paper theorises how a place can influence the emergence and evolution of an exchange field. Specifically, we examine the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) building in Montreal, focusing on its geographical location, material form, and meanings as their adaptations over time. Our findings identify three types of influence that the SAT building has on the field of projection mapping: supporting the community, fostering interorganisational relationships, and catalysing innovation. These influences manifest in distinct ways depending on the field’s evolution phase. We contribute to the literature on field configuration by developing the concept of the Field-Configuring Place (FCP) and distinguishing it from the established concept of the Field-Configuring Event (FCE). Additionally, we extend the institutional dynamics literature by showing how a place can support the configuration of a field from its emergence, based on its characteristics that can be adapted while providing stability. This study thus underlines the cross-fertilisation between the literature on field configuration and that on places.

实地配置场所：解读地点在田野演变中的作用

本文从理论上探讨了一个地方如何影响一个交流领域的出现和演变。具体而言，我们研究了蒙特利尔的艺术与技术协会（SAT）大楼，重点关注其地理位置、物质形式和含义，以及它们随着时间的推移而发生的变化。我们的研究结果确定了 SAT 大楼对投影绘图领域的三种影响：支持社区、促进组织间关系和推动创新。这些影响根据领域的演变阶段以不同的方式表现出来。我们提出了 "实地配置场所"（FCP）的概念，并将其与 "实地配置事件"（FCE）的既定概念区分开来，从而为有关实地配置的文献做出了贡献。此外，我们还扩展了制度动力学文献的研究范围，展示了一个地方如何能够在其出现时，根据其既能适应又能提供稳定性的特点，为田野配置提供支持。因此，本研究强调了领域配置文献与地方文献之间的交叉融合。

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.
