[pt] Desdobramento de convívio de design, uma ação disciplinar em Valparaíso-Chile é uma tese que abre a questão de como o designer pode ser parte de sua própria realidade e também é capaz de exercer uma ação direta sobre a comunidade, participando da dignidade da vida pessoas e considerando as condições de cultura material contemporânea. Para isso, a disciplina literatura focada em traçar o perfil do design com ênfase no conceito de valor é revisto, caminhos conceituais que apontam a crítica teórica do industrialismo são estudados e sua influência sobre a construção de uma visão social hegemônica e disciplina. Em seguida, a tese se desenrola nas próprias noções de design, a fim de esclarecer os elementos disciplinares universais que nos permitem fazer leituras desprovidos de preconceitos. Para integrar-se nessa proposta e participar desse papel docente da escola de Arquitetura e Design da Universidade Católica de Valparaíso, e[ad]. Assim, com estes elementos, constrói-se um marco teórico crítico que irá dar origem à pesquisa sobre Aconcagua FabLab (laboratório de fabricação), como o caso de uma ação direta sobre o território local, desatrelado de uma situação de aula que promove a coparticipação entre o conhecimento da universidade e o saber da comunidade. Conclui-se com a proposta para navegar em direção a um Design Convivencial, para conseguir chaves de identificação que nos permitem encontrar ua via alternativa disciplina para o desenvolvimento industrialista. / [en] Deployment of Convivial Design, a disciplinary action in Valparaíso, Chile, is a thesis that opens the question of how the designer can participate in his own reality and is also able to exercise direct action on the community, participating in the dignity of people s life and considering the conditions of the contemporary material culture. For this, we review the disciplinary literature focused on design profiling with emphasis on the concept of value. We study the conceptual paths that are linked to the theoretical critiques about industrialism, as well as the influence of this in the construction of a social hegemonic and disciplinary vision. Then the thesis runs on the notions proper to design in order to clear the most universal disciplinary elements that allow us to make readings devoid of preconceptions. With the exposition of the location from where this thesis is carried out, a reflection is made on the institutional, theoretical and teaching place of the author in the School of Architecture and Design of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. With these elements, a theoretical-critical referential is built that allows the implementation of the Aconcagua FabLab project (mobile digital manufacturing laboratory), as a case of direct university action on the local territory, the classroom deployment. It concludes with the proposal to navigate towards a Convivial Design identifying keys that allow us to find a disciplinary path as an alternative to industrialist development. / [es] Despliegue Convivencial del Diseño, una acción disciplinar en Valparaíso-Chile es una tesis que abre la pregunta por cómo el diseñador puede ser partícipe de su propia realidad y es capaz también de ejercer una acción directa sobre la comunidad, participando en la dignificación de la vida de las personas y considerando las condicionantes de la cultura material contemporánea. Para esto, se revisa la literatura disciplinar enfocada al perfilamiento del diseño con acento en el concepto de valor, se estudian los caminos conceptuales que se vinculan a las críticas teóricas sobre el industrialismo, así la influencia de éste en la construcción de una visión hegemónica social y disciplinar. Luego la tesis discurre en las nociones propias del diseño, con el objeto de despejar los elementos disciplinares más universales que nos permitan hacer lecturas desprovistas de preconceptos. Con la exposición de la ubicación desde donde se realiza esta tesis, se elabora una reflexión acerca del lugar institucional, teórico y docente del autor en la Escuela de Arquitectura y Diseño de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, e[ad]. Con estos elementos, se construye un referencial teórico-crítico que da pie a poner en práctica el proyecto Aconcagua FabLab (laboratorio de fabricación digital móvil), como un caso de acción universitaria directa sobre el territorio local, el despliegue del aula. Se concluye con la propuesta de navegar hacia un Diseño Convivencial identificando claves que nos permitan encontrar un camino disciplinar como alternativa al desarrollo industrialista.

[ES] La cultura constituye la base social, representa la identidad y soporta los procesos de formación y transformación de las sociedades; bajo el enfoque clásico se encarga de identificar, proteger, conservar, rehabilitar y difundir, de manera sostenible, las tradiciones e historias; sin embargo, en los últimos años, el vínculo entre la cultura, la economía y el desarrollo territorial ha comenzado a ser explorado más profundamente, destacando cómo las prácticas culturales promueven nuevas capacidades y oportunidades y fomentan procesos de innovación. Dentro del amplio sector cultural, en años recientes ha crecido el interés por comprender mejor los eventos culturales, como fenómenos cargados de múltiples significados y enfoques; uno de los aspectos de interés es la innovación, tanto en lo que se refiere a sus contenidos como en la gestión y su articulación con otros sectores para el desarrollo territorial. Esta investigación se centra en un área poco estudiada de la innovación en el ámbito cultural, porque busca aportar a la construcción de un marco de análisis de la innovación en el Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial, a partir del análisis de estos procesos en las organizaciones culturales y de su relación con el contexto. Para ello, se definió como objetivo el de analizar los procesos de innovación en las organizaciones culturales que trabajan por la salvaguardia y protección del patrimonio cultural inmaterial, en especial el referido a los Carnavales. Para ello, se ha utilizado un marco de análisis que da soporte al proceso de investigación. Los resultados obtenidos permiten identificar los tipos, espacios y motivaciones de la innovación en las organizaciones de patrimonio cultural. Con esta, se pretende promover una nueva mirada sobre la innovación en la gestión cultural bajo un enfoque sistémico, entendiendo que se basa en una cultura viva, que evoluciona y se adapta al contexto que representa su identidad. Los resultados sientan las bases para futuras investigaciones centradas en la cultura como herramienta para la cohesión social y el fomento del desarrollo territorial. / [CA] La cultura constituïx la base social, representa la identitat i suporta els processos de formació i transformació de les societats; sota l'enfocament clàssic s'encarrega d'identificar, protegir, conservar, rehabilitar i difondre, de manera sostenible, les tradicions i històries; no obstant això, en els últims anys, el vincle entre la cultura, l'economia i el desenrotllament territorial ha començat a ser explorat més profundament, destacant com les pràctiques culturals promouen noves capacitats i oportunitats i fomenten processos d'innovació. Dins de l'ampli sector cultural, en anys recents ha crescut l'interés per comprendre millor els esdeveniments culturals, com a fenòmens carregats de múltiples significats i enfocaments; un dels aspectes d'interés és la innovació, tant pel que fa als seus continguts com en la gestió i la seua articulació amb altres sectors per al desenrotllament territorial. Esta investigació se centra en una àrea poc estudiada de la innovació en l'àmbit cultural, perquè busca aportar a la construcció d'un marc d'anàlisi de la innovació en el Patrimoni Cultural Immaterial, a partir de l'anàlisi d'estos processos en les organitzacions culturals i de la seua relació amb el context. Per a això, es va definir com a objectiu el d'analitzar els processos d'innovació en les organitzacions culturals que treballen per la salvaguarda i protecció del patrimoni cultural immaterial, especialment el referit als Carnestoltes. Per a això, s'ha utilitzat un marc d'anàlisi que dona suport al procés d'investigació. Els resultats obtinguts permeten identificar els tipus, espais i motivacions de la innovació en les organitzacions de patrimoni cultural. Amb esta, es pretén promoure una nova mirada sobre la innovació en la gestió cultural sota un enfocament sistèmic, entenent que es basa en una cultura viva, que evoluciona i s'adapta al context que representa la seua identitat. Els resultats establixen les bases per a futures investigacions centrades en la cultura com a ferramenta per a la cohesió social i el foment del desenrotllament territorial / [EN] Culture represents the social basis, denotes identity and supports the processes of creation and transformation of societies. In the classical approach, culture is responsible for identifying, protecting, preserving, rehabilitating and disseminating traditions and histories in a sustainable way; however, in recent years, the link between culture, economy and territorial development has begun to be explored more deeply, highlighting how cultural practices promote new capacities and opportunities to encourage innovation processes. Within the broad cultural sector, there has been a growing interest in recent years to better understand cultural events as phenomena loaded with multiple meanings and approaches; one of the aspects of interest is innovation, both in terms of content and management, and its articulation with other sectors for territorial development. This research focuses on a little-studied area of innovation in the cultural sector, because it aims to contribute to the construction of a framework for the analysis of innovation in intangible cultural heritage, based on the analysis of these processes in cultural organizations and their relationship with the context. The objective was set to be the analysis of innovation processes in cultural organizations that work for the safeguarding and protection of intangible cultural heritage, particularly in relation to carnivals. An analytical framework has been used to support the research process. The results obtained allow us to identify the types, spaces, and motivations for innovation in cultural heritage organizations. With this research, the aim is to promote a new perspective on innovation in cultural management within a systemic approach, understanding that it is based on a living culture that evolves and adapts to the context representing its identity. The findings lay the groundwork for future research focused on culture as a tool for social cohesion and the promotion of territorial development. / Rodríguez Gutiérrez, ID. (2024).

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem kreativen Akteur "bildender Künstler" und seiner Raumprägung im Wertschöpfungsprozess künstlerischer Innovationen am Beispiel der Kunstmetropole Berlin. Dabei wird der Fokus auf die alltäglichen Interaktionsräume der Akteure - sogenannte Alltagsgeographien - im Wertschöpfungsprozess gelegt. Durch die qualitative Untersuchung des Einzelakteurs und insbesondere seiner lokalen Praktiken werden differenzierte Informationen über die Charakteristika des kreativen Akteurs, über die Kunstbranche und die globalen Dynamiken dieser Branchen gewonnen. Ziel der Arbeit ist es die Interaktionsräume der bildenden Künstler in ihrem Wertschöpfungsprozess (Produktion, Präsentation, Vermarktung, Verkauf) aus einer räumlichen, zeitlichen und sozioökonomischen Perspektive zu charakterisieren. Die Ergebnisse präsentieren insgesamt eine neue räumliche Betrachtung mit vorwiegend lokalen, analogen und fluiden Interaktionsräumen der Künstler. Sie zeigen, welche Etappen und Standorte im Lebenslauf eines Künstlers wichtig sind, um sich am Kunstmarkt etablieren zu können. Es wird deutlich, welche besondere Bedeutung die räumliche Nähe und Verortung in lokalen Strukturen besitzt und dass die Digitalisierung bisher kaum Einfluss auf den Kunstmarkt hat. Darüber hinaus werden wichtige Erkenntnisse in Bezug auf die Mobilität als Ermöglichungsstruktur im künstlerischen Schaffensprozess dargelegt. Berlin stellt sich als zweitwichtigste Kunstmetropole im globalen Netz der Kunstmetropolen dar, welches nach wie vor in der westlichen Welt verankert ist. Die angenommene Globalisierung des Kunstmarktes hat bisher noch nicht stattgefunden. / This research is about the creative actor - "the contemporary fine artist" using the example of Berlin - and how he is shaping and influencing space in his value-added process on different spatial scales. The focus is on the everyday life spheres of interaction the so-called "everyday life geographies" in the value-added process. By using a qualitative approach differentiated and nuanced information on the actor's characteristics and his local practices can be obtained, as well as on the art market and its global regulatory mechanisms. The objective of this research is to characterise the spheres of interaction of the fine artists in their value-added process (production, presentation, marketing, disposal) through a spatial, temporal and socio-economic perspective. The overall results present a new spatial viewpoint with predominantly local, analogue, and fluid spheres of interaction of the contemporary fine artists. They reveal the most important steps and spatial configurations in the career of an artist in order to become successfully established in the art market. Of particular importance are the spatial proximity and the connection within the local networks. The digitalization only slightly affects the art market so far. Furthermore, the thesis obtains important knowledge in regard to mobility as an enabling framework in the process of artistic creation. Berlin is regarded as the second most important global art metropolis in a network of global art metropolises, which can still be located in the western hemisphere. The assumed globalisation has not affected the art market yet.

In this thesis I outline the contribution Community-based theatre has made to New Zealand theatre. This involves a defining of theatre production as a material practice. Community-based theatre was a tendency from the 1930s, a promise of the left theatre movement and, I argue, was being searched for as a form of practice by the avant-garde, experimental practitioners of the 1970s. At the same time, early Māori theatre began as a Community-based practice before moving into the mainstream. With the arrival of neo-liberalism to Aotearoa in 1984, community groups and Community-based theatre could become official providers within the political system. This led to a flowering of practices, which I describe, together with the tensions that arise from being a part of that system. However, neo-liberalism introduced managerial practices into state contracting and patronage policy, which effectively denied this flowering the sustenance deserved. At the same time, these policies commodified mainstream theatre production. In conclusion, I argue that in the current situation of global crisis, Community-based theatre practice has a continuing role to play in giving voice to the multitude and by being a practice of the Common.

[pt] O comércio exterior garante benefícios significativos para as nações, tanto do ponto de vista macroeconômico quanto microeconômico. Do ponto de vista macroeconômico, as exportações possibilitam o aumento das reservas cambiais e geram oportunidades de emprego proporcionando, consequentemente, melhores condições de vida. Do ponto de vista microeconômico, as exportações estimulam o desenvolvimento de vantagens competitivas, reduzindo a capacidade ociosa, elevando os padrões tecnológicos, potencializando a lucratividade, intensificando o retorno sobre os investimentos e reforçando a grandeza financeira das empresas. O desempenho das exportações das PMEs é particularmente de extrema importância, uma vez que elas são responsáveis por uma parcela significativa das atividades econômicas e podem ampliar substancialmente o resultado das exportações no nível agregado. No entanto, barreiras à exportação e falhas de mercado tendem a afetar sua capacidade de acesso aos recursos estratégicos necessários para garantir um processo de internacionalização bem-sucedido. Analisando pela ótica da Visão Baseada em Recursos (Resource Based View), a incapacidade das PMEs de obter sucesso em expandir-se internacionalmente devido à falta de recursos internos suficientes, know-how e informações sobre mercados estrangeiros, pode ser vista como uma condição de falha de mercado, endossando a participação do governo em iniciativas de promoção às exportações. A partir desse raciocínio e com base no conhecimento existente, o objetivo desta tese é contribuir para a investigação de serviços e sistemas de promoção às exportações em três ensaios. O primeiro ensaio, intitulado Serviços de Promoção às Exportações e Barreiras às Exportações da Firma: Há interação entre as duas literaturas?, visa examinar profundamente estas literaturas, apresentando, apresentando suas contribuições, lacunas e recomendações para estudos futuros. O segundo ensaio, intitulado Iniciativas de Promoção às Exportações junto a um Cluster, aborda o desenvolvimento de longo prazo de um cluster brasileiro de moda praia, utilizando o método do estudo de caso e focando especificamente nas tentativas de desenvolvimento de suas atividades exportadoras. Agentes de promoção às exportações tentaram introduzir novas práticas e atitudes em relação à cooperação entre empresas, mas não obtiveram sucesso. A questão fundamental, portanto, é buscar entender porque as empresas falharam em cooperar, apesar de várias iniciativas e investimentos realizados para promover ações coletivas. O artigo fornece algumas explicações possíveis que sugerem implicações para outros clusters brasileiros. Por fim, a conclusão fornece algumas recomendações para formuladores de políticas públicas sobre o desenho de programas de promoção às exportações. O terceiro e último ensaio, intitulado A Coordenação de Redes de Promoção às Exportações para as Indústrias Criativas, examina por meio do uso do método do estudo de caso, as diferentes abordagens adotadas por três países bem-sucedidos no apoio à internacionalização de suas indústrias criativas, a partir da perspectiva interorganizacional, com foco na coordenação de redes. O estudo fornece evidências empíricas de como diferentes abordagens, da centralização da rede de promoção às exportações à descentralização dos esforços de promoção, e de uma coordenação mais frouxa até uma mais rigorosa, podem ser usadas para promover as exportações de empresas pertencentes às indústrias criativas. Os resultados também sugerem que cada contexto pode exigir uma abordagem diferente para a coordenação das atividades das Instituições de Apoio ao Comércio Exterior. O grau de desenvolvimento econômico de cada país, os recursos disponíveis, a maturidade da indústria, bem como, questões culturais, podem desempenhar seu papel na determinação da abordagem mais adequada para cada país e setor. / [en] Foreign trade provides significant benefits to nations from both macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives. From a macroeconomic point of view, exports allow the increasing of foreign exchange reserves and generate employment opportunities, consequently leading to improved living standards. From a microeconomic perspective, exports stimulate the development of competitive advantages, reducing idle production capacity, raising technological standards, powering profitability, intensifying return on investments, and enhancing firms financial stature. SMEs export performance is particularly of utmost importance since they are responsible for a significant portion of economic activities and could amplify substantially exports outcome at the aggregate level. However, export barriers and market failures tend to affect their capacity to access strategic resources necessary to guarantee a successful internationalization process. From a resource-based perspective, the inability of SMEs to successfully expand abroad due to their lack of sufficient internal resources, know-how, and information about foreign markets may be seen as a condition of market failure, therefore endorsing government s participation in export promotion initiatives. In accordance with this rationale and building on the existing knowledge, the aim of this thesis is to contribute to the investigation of export promotion services and systems in three essays. The first essay, entitled Export Promotion Services and Firm Export Barriers: Do These Literatures Interact?, – aims to thoroughly examine the two literatures, presenting their contributions, gaps, and recommendations for future studies. The second essay, entitled Export Promotion Initiatives in a Cluster, - approaches the long-term development of a Brazilian beachwear cluster, using the case method of investigation and focusing specifically on the attempts to develop exporting activities. Export promotion agents have tried to introduce new practices and attitudes toward cooperation among firms but failed to do so. The key issue, therefore, is to understand why the firms failed to cooperate, despite several initiatives and investments to promote collective actions. The paper advances some possible explanations, with implications to other Brazilian clusters. Finally, the conclusion advances some recommendations for public policymakers concerning the design of export promotion programs. The third and last essay, entitled The Coordination of Export Promotion Networks for the Creative Industries, examines through the use of the case method of investigation the different approaches adopted by three successful countries in supporting the internationalization of their creative industries, adopting an interorganizational perspective, focusing on network coordination. The study provides empirical evidence of how different approaches, from the centralization of an export promotion network to decentralization, and from loose coordination to tight, may be used to promote the exports of firms in the creative industries. The results also suggest that each context may require a different approach to the coordination of Trade Support Institutions activities. The degree of economic development of each country, the resources available, the maturity of the industry, as well as cultural issues, may play a role in determining which approach could be a better fit for each country and sector.

Tesis por compendio / [ES] Esta tesis doctoral se centra en el análisis de las políticas públicas para el fomento de las industrias culturales y creativas (ICC), especialmente en el sector musical, cuya actividad principal está recogida en la Clasificación Industrial Internacional Uniforme (CIIU) con el código 5920, el cual incluye la grabación de sonido y edición musical. Dada la importancia e impacto de este sector en el desarrollo económico de las regiones, más aún desde el auge de las plataformas digitales en el mundo, las actividades incluidas en el mismo se presentan como una gran oportunidad para potenciar el desarrollo económico de una ciudad como Bogotá D.C., capital de Colombia, y reconocida por la UNESCO en el año 2012 como capital musical. Por ello, esta tesis pretende aportar el conocimiento necesario para la elaboración de políticas públicas que fomenten la incidencia de las empresas del sector musical (CIIU 5920) en el desarrollo económico de Bogotá D.C. A partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, se identifican las dimensiones clave de las políticas públicas en las ICC a las que dicha literatura les reconoce un mayor impacto en el desarrollo económico, social y cultural de las regiones. Los resultados de esta revisión sirven de base a un análisis comparativo entre determinadas ciudades alemanas y españolas que identifica cuales son los factores que, en cada caso, y en el marco de dichas dimensiones clave, más contribuyen a la generación de desarrollo económico en cada país. A partir de este punto, la tesis se centra en analizar si las políticas públicas implementadas en la capital de Colombia, principalmente en el sector musical, inciden en los factores cuyo impacto se prevé mayor en el desarrollo de la región. La tesis concluye que las políticas públicas para las ICC, especialmente en el sector musical, pueden ser un instrumento eficaz para el fomento del desarrollo económico local. Sin embargo, se requiere un marco regulatorio actualizado y políticas públicas específicas para el sector musical, en especial el clasificado en el CIIU 5920, que fomenten el conocimiento, la innovación, la propiedad intelectual y la colaboración entre actores del sector. De esta forma, esta tesis contribuye al conocimiento sobre el papel de las políticas públicas en el fomento de las ICC y su impacto en el desarrollo económico local y, sus resultados pueden ser utilizados por policymakers para diseñar e implementar políticas públicas más efectivas en el sector musical en Colombia y otras ciudades de América Latina. / [CA] Esta tesi doctoral se centra en l'anàlisi de les polítiques públiques per al foment de les indústries culturals i creatives (ICC), especialment en el sector musical, l'activitat principal del qual està arreplegada en la Classificació Industrial Internacional Uniforme (CIIU) amb el codi 5920, el qual inclou la gravació de so i edició musical. Donada la importància i impacte d'este sector en el desenvolupament econòmic de les regions, més encara des de l'auge de les plataformes digitals en el món, les activitats incloses en el mateix es presenten com una gran oportunitat per a potenciar el desenvolupament econòmic d'una ciutat com Bogotà D. C., capital de Colòmbia, i reconeguda per la UNESCO l'any 2012 com a capital musical. Per això, esta tesi pretén aportar el coneixement necessari per a l'elaboració de polítiques públiques que fomenten la incidència de les empreses del sector musical (CIIU 5920) en el desenvolupament econòmic de Bogotà D. C. A partir d'una revisió sistemàtica de la literatura, s'identifiquen les dimensions clau de les polítiques públiques en les ICC a les quals esta literatura els reconeix un major impacte en el desenvolupament econòmic, social i cultural de les regions. Els resultats d'esta revisió servixen de base a una anàlisi comparativa entre determinades ciutats alemanyes i espanyoles que identifica quins són els factors que, en cada cas, i en el marc d'estes dimensions clau, més contribuïxen a la generació de desenvolupament econòmic en cada país. A partir d'este punt, la tesi se centra en analitzar si les polítiques públiques implementades en la capital de Colòmbia, principalment en el sector musical, incidixen en els factors l'impacte dels quals es preveu major en el desenvolupament de la regió. La tesi conclou que les polítiques públiques per a les ICC, especialment en el sector musical, poden ser un instrument eficaç per al foment del desenvolupament econòmic local. No obstant això, es requerix un marc regulador actualitzat i polítiques públiques específiques per al sector musical, especialment el classificat en el *CIIU 5920, que fomenten el coneixement, la innovació, la propietat intel·lectual i la col·laboració entre actors del sector. D'esta manera, esta tesi contribuïx al coneixement sobre el paper de les polítiques públiques en el foment de les ICC i el seu impacte en el desenvolupament econòmic local i, els seus resultats poden ser utilitzats per *policymakers per a dissenyar i implementar polítiques públiques més efectives en el sector musical a Colòmbia i altres ciutats d'Amèrica Llatina. / [EN] This doctoral thesis focuses on the analysis of public policies for the promotion of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs), particularly in the music sector, whose main activity is classified under the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) code 5920, which includes sound recording and music publishing. Given the importance and impact of this sector on the economic development of regions, especially since the rise of digital platforms worldwide, the activities included in it represent a great opportunity to boost the economic development of a city like Bogotá D.C., the capital of Colombia, and recognized by UNESCO in 2012 as the Music Capital of the World. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide the necessary knowledge for the elaboration of public policies that promote the impact of music sector companies (ISIC 5920) on the economic development of Bogotá D.C. Through a systematic review of the literature, the key dimensions of public policies (PP) for CCIs are identified, which the literature recognizes as having the greatest impact on the economic, social, and cultural development of regions. The results of this review serve as the basis for a comparative analysis between certain German and Spanish cities to identify the factors that, in each case, and within the framework of these key dimensions, most contribute to the generation of economic development in each country. From this point on, the thesis focuses on analyzing whether the public policies implemented in the capital of Colombia, mainly in the music sector, have an impact on the factors whose impact is expected to be greater on the development of the region. The thesis concludes that public policies for CCIs, especially in the music sector, can be an effective tool for promoting local economic development. However, an updated regulatory framework and specific public policies for the music sector, especially those classified under ISIC 5920, are required to promote knowledge, innovation, intellectual property, and collaboration among actors in the sector. In this way, this thesis contributes to the knowledge on the role of public policies in promoting CCIs and their impact on local economic development, and its results can be used by policymakers to design and implement more effective public policies in the music sector in Colombia and other Latin American cities. / Gómez Reyes, FM.

<p>Food trucks have become increasingly popular over the last decade following the Great Recession of 2008. Scholars have begun to study the food truck phenomenon, its future projected trajectory, and even positioning it within social justice discourse along cultural lines; however, scholarship has yet to address the participation of Black entrepreneurs in the food truck industry.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The objective of this dissertation is to expand the perception of Black food entrepreneurs within the food truck industry by interrogating how Black food truck owners are misrepresented, under analyzed, and underestimated. Using a series of interdisciplinary qualitative methods including introspective analysis, thematic coding analysis, and case studies, I approach this objective by addressing three questions. First, I analyze movies and television to understand where Black-owned food trucks are represented in popular culture and how they are depicted. In doing so, we come to understand that Black business representation, specifically Black food truck representation consistently falls victim to negative stereotypes. These stereotypes can influence the extent to which Black food truck owners are taken seriously and seen as legitimate business leaders in their community. Second, I interview 16 Black food truck entrepreneurs to understand why the mobile food industry appealed to them and how it has become a platform for them to explore other opportunities. Finally, I review eight cities that have launched Black food truck festivals and parks within the last 6 years to gain an understanding of the collective power wielded by Black food truck owners and its impact Black communities. Moreover, this dissertation challenges the myth that collectivism does not exist among Black entrepreneurs and the Black community broadly.</p>
