Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Culture and creativity are often described as central elements in urban and regional development. This paper takes its point of departure in an ongoing research project on the work of professionals at platforms for creative and cultural work in Scania, Sweden. Through narratives of and about the professionals at the different platforms the paper illustrates how creativity and creative work are encouraged and facilitated. The main contribution of the paper is the mapping of two practices for enabling creativity. Further, we reflect on how the platform professionals can be perceived as a new contemporary ‘guild’, whose actions, language use and terms illustrate the creative imperative of the cultural economy.
