Abstract

The pandemic and economic uncertainties have reshaped our perception of culture. The emerging cultural and creative strategies encourage cultural entrepreneurship, which however faces skills shortages, financial vulnerability, marginalisation and industrial downsizing. These short- and long-term challenges call for systematic interventions to (re)engage cultural entrepreneurs, particularly in the post-pandemic era. Drawing on a Cultural Political Economy (CPE) approach, this study applies Lounsbury and Glynn’s model of cultural entrepreneurship to examine how cultural entrepreneurs engage with tourism as a practice of placed-based meaning-making. Given that cultural capital, cultural politics of place, and entrepreneurial storytelling are relational, the case study of Shakespeare Birthplace Trust demonstrates that cultural entrepreneurs must embed the unique place features while balancing digital innovations, cultural tourism activities, and entrepreneurial legitimacy. Achieving this requires skilled entrepreneurial storytelling to construct strong social and cultural ties with local communities, educators, business investors and urban planners.
地点、旅游和文化创业:文化政治经济学的批判性参与
疫情和经济的不确定性重塑了我们对文化的看法。新兴的文化和创意战略鼓励文化创业,然而,文化创业面临着技能短缺、金融脆弱性、边缘化和产业缩小等问题。这些短期和长期挑战要求采取系统干预措施,使文化企业家(重新)参与进来,特别是在大流行后时代。利用文化政治经济学(CPE)方法,本研究应用Lounsbury和Glynn的文化企业家模型来研究文化企业家如何将旅游作为一种基于地点的意义创造的实践。鉴于文化资本、地方文化政治和创业故事是相互关联的,莎士比亚出生地信托的案例研究表明,文化企业家必须嵌入独特的地方特征,同时平衡数字创新、文化旅游活动和创业合法性。实现这一目标需要熟练的企业家讲故事,与当地社区、教育工作者、商业投资者和城市规划者建立牢固的社会和文化联系。
