The Politics and Aesthetics of Entrepreneurship: A Fourth Movements in Entrepreneurship Book

摘要

To conclude their "Movements in Entrepreneurship" series, Daniel Hjorth and Chris Steyaert have performed an entrepreneurial event in their book, The Politics and Aesthetics of Entrepreneurship. Critically evaluating the historical strategies and discursive boundaries of the subject to distinguish the aesthetics, politics and, by way of this, ethics of entrepreneurship studies, Hjorth and Steyaert imagine, and hope for, a life-affirming entrepreneurship studies that is able to accommodate aesthetic forms that have been historically marginalised. In doing so, the book retreats from an entrepreneurship discourse predisposed to define what is visible, beautiful, right and true in an isolated and observed entity. It then presents novel forms on the subject, produced and performed in accordance with different contexts of time, place and person and illuminates the interrelation of history, timing and place in entrepreneurship processes and policy making generally.
