<p>My dissertation forges a response that continues and expands discussions of entrepreneurialism in the 21^st century. I seek to answer Welter and colleagues’ call to embrace the entrepreneurial diversity offered by the folks that are embedded in local communities. I argue for a reframing of entrepreneurship that acknowledges the work of everyday-entrepreneurs — people that operate in mundane contexts, beyond capitalist agendas, guided by socially aware objectives seeking to promote equity for the greater good. This undertaking is stretched across a three part study informed by feminist perspectives. Tracing the narratives belonging to women of historically marginalized identities reveals not only the exclusionary aspects of mainstream entrepreneurship, but also the innovative practices these women embody as they balance the social variables of identity politics within and across their communities. The participants of this study demonstrate entrepreneurial citizenship, a term I propose as the many ways everyday-entrepreneurs contribute to world-building and history-making for each of the different communities they belong to. Chapter one establishes the exigence for this work and provides commentary on the cultural framework from which entrepreneurship emerged. Chapter two offers a survey of the surrounding literature, and addresses how a bridging of interdisciplinary gaps helps scholars better understand everyday-entrepreneurship. Chapter three presents a case for taking an interdisciplinary approach towards diversifying entrepreneurial scholarship. Chapter four outlines the study design, methods, and methodology. In Chapter five, I present empirical observations that quantify the qualitative data collected for the study. And, finally, chapter six presents participant profiles in conjunction with case study vignettes that highlight snapshots of everyday-entrepreneurship in practice. Ultimately, this project seeks to show that there is much to be learned from the lived realities of everyday-entrepreneurs; widening discourse on entrepreneurship to include these individuals: (1) dismantles grand narratives of entrepreneurship that are intrinsically oppressive, especially for those with intersectional identities, (2) exposes interlocking forms of oppression operating within the obscure, shadowed margins of familiar spaces that render individuals invisible, (3) contributes to new models of entrepreneurial identity, and (4) diversifies entrepreneurial scholarship. </p> @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face {font-family:"Times New Roman \(Body CS\)"; panose-1:2 2 6 3 5 4 5 2 3 4; mso-font-alt:"Times New Roman"; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:auto; mso-font-signature:0 0 0 0 0 0;}@font-face {font-family:"Malgun Gothic"; panose-1:2 11 5 3 2 0 0 2 0 4; mso-font-charset:129; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1879048145 701988091 18 0 524289 0;}@font-face {font-family:"\@Malgun Gothic"; mso-font-charset:129; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1879048145 701988091 18 0 524289 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; line-height:150%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family:"Malgun Gothic"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman \(Body CS\)"; color:black; mso-themecolor:text1; mso-fareast-language:KO;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-fareast-font-family:"Malgun Gothic"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman \(Body CS\)"; color:black; mso-themecolor:text1; mso-fareast-language:KO;}.MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; line-height:150%;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}

O presente estudo propõe-se a analisar pavilhões expositivos nacionais na Exposição Mundial ocorrida em 2015, na cidade de Milão (Itália). Faz uma leitura geral dos pavilhões da Expo 2015 e se atém a quatro pavilhões nacionais representativos da diversidade arquitetônica presente no evento: Áustria, Holanda, Emirados Árabes e Brasil. Pretende responder a questão central da pesquisa: existe ainda espaço, atualmente, para a investigação arquitetônica nesses eventos? Sua metodologia baseia-se em pesquisa de campo, pesquisa em fontes primárias diversas e pesquisa bibliográfica referente a cada um dos casos analisados e ao contexto histórico do evento. / This current research aims to analise national pavilions, focused on the World Exhibition that took place in Milan (Italy), in 2015. It gives a general reading of the Expo 2015 pavilions and keeps to four national pavilions that represent the diversity found in the event: Austria, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and Brazil. The intention is to answer to the main question of the research: Is there still space for experimental architecture at this kind of event? It\'s methodology is based on field research, primary sources, and bibliographic research related to each of the four pavilions and to the historical context of the event.
