Abstract

Socio-material conceptualisations of markets suggest that they are spatial formations. Yet, the everyday practical and spatial dimensions of market making have received little explicit attention. We thus introduce the concept of spatio-market practices, drawing on key ideas in market studies and spatial theory. We argue that examining spatio-market practices (and thus the spatial dimensions of markets) promises to provide fresh insight regarding what it takes to realise markets, their uneven distribution, and what and whom markets are (and are not) designed to serve. To demonstrate what the concept calls for, supports and promises, we take Humphreys’ (2010) influential paper as a starting point and draw on other secondary sources in order to articulate an alternative and spatially-oriented account of the growth and legitimacy of the American casino gambling market. This paper, in turn, contributes a subtle and yet incisive shift in thinking, which supports a more explicit means of exploring markets as spatial formations.

“空间市场实践”:概念化做市实践的空间维度

市场的社会物质概念化表明它们是空间形态。然而，做市的日常实践和空间维度却很少受到明确的关注。因此，我们引入了空间市场实践的概念，借鉴了市场研究和空间理论中的关键思想。我们认为，研究空间市场实践(以及市场的空间维度)有望提供关于实现市场所需的条件、市场的不均匀分布以及市场是(或不是)为服务的对象和对象等方面的新见解。为了证明这一概念所要求的、支持的和承诺的是什么，我们以Humphreys(2010)有影响力的论文为起点，并借鉴其他二手资料，以阐明美国赌场赌博市场的增长和合法性的替代和空间导向的描述。这篇论文反过来又促成了一种微妙而又深刻的思维转变，它支持了一种更明确的方式，将市场作为空间形态进行探索。

期刊介绍： The AMS Review is positioned to be the premier journal in marketing that focuses exclusively on conceptual contributions across all sub-disciplines of marketing. It publishes articles that advance the development of market and marketing theory.The AMS Review is receptive to different philosophical perspectives and levels of analysis that range from micro to macro. Especially welcome are manuscripts that integrate research and theory from non-marketing disciplines such as management, sociology, economics, psychology, geography, anthropology, or other social sciences. Examples of suitable manuscripts include those incorporating conceptual and organizing frameworks or models, those extending, comparing, or critically evaluating existing theories, and those suggesting new or innovative theories. Comprehensive and integrative syntheses of research literatures (including quantitative and qualitative meta-analyses) are encouraged, as are paradigm-shifting manuscripts.Manuscripts that focus on purely descriptive literature reviews, proselytize research methods or techniques, or report empirical research findings will not be considered for publication. The AMS Review does not publish manuscripts focusing on practitioner advice or marketing education.
