“…One of the ways the study opens this up is by expanding a psychoanalytic perspective on social entrepreneurship (Froggett and Chamberlayne, 2004) to encompass a Lacanian framework. Specifically, by extending a project outlined in the study of entrepreneurship (Jones and Spicer, 2005; and applying it to a closer inspection of the micro narratives of social entrepreneurs (Hervieux et al, 2010;Vasi, 2009), a Lacanian framework offers the potential for a more fine-grained, complex and psychosocial (Fotaki et al, 2012(Fotaki et al, : 1113 understanding of social entrepreneurial identity work.…”

“…Building on prior research in which social entrepreneurship was examined using a psychoanalytic perspective (Froggett and Chamberlayne, 2004) and entrepreneurship more generally from a Lacanian perspective as the pursuit of an impossible object of desire (Jones and Spicer, 2005;, my goal is to explore how social entrepreneurial struggles can be understood in the context of unconscious desire and fantasies. I analyze specifically how social entrepreneurs build identities around horrific and beatific fantasies, which both center on struggle as a defining characteristic.…”

Building on an analysis of interviews with 61 social entrepreneurs, the study offers a more fine-grained exploration of the identity work of social entrepreneurs from a psychoanalytic, particularly Lacanian, perspective. Specifically, it suggests that what defines social entrepreneurial identity work is the blurring of beatific and horrific aspects of fantasies and a desire for struggle and lack. This in turn creates an emancipatory space in which discursive movement enables alternative forms of market enjoyment and ethical agency. The latter unsettles macro-discourses of capitalism by demanding and amplifying their lack. The study contributes new avenues for exploring Lacanian concepts such as the traversal of fantasy as a product of discursive movement particularly relevant for transformative readings of identity narratives.

“…The guiding principle highlighted by the political-culture approach is that, in order to enhance policy effectiveness and to control policy outcomes, policymakers must synchronize those abstract, universalistic procedures with local culture-based knowledge (Geva-May, 2002, Hoppe, 2002, Froggett & Chamberlayne, 2004, Easterly et al, 2006Reese & Rosenfeld, 2008, Woolcock et al, 2010, Grodach, 2012, Dahan, 2016& 2017. The fact that different communities have varied cultural modes and differing organizational resources suggests that policymakers should identify and conceptualize the particular attributes of each community under consideration as a prerequisite for effective choice, adjustment and use of certain strategies and instruments.…”

The goal of promoting the economy and social welfare of disadvantaged urban communities has always been at the forefront of community studies; yet, this issue has also remained consistently controversial. The resurgence of the political-culture approach in the urban subfield has shed new light on this matter, raising new insights and presenting novel conclusions. The current study summarizes the main propositions of this approach with regard to community development, and highlights its powerful impact and valuable contribution to the understanding of the construction of urban economy, particularly concerning the welfare of disadvantaged communities. This study supports the application of the political-culture approach by reviewing and discussing major studies that have specifically examined various modes of "social capital" as a moderating concept between economic logic and local political culture (e.g., trust, social cohesion and civic engagement). Analyses of such relationships illustrate the common failure inherent in universal, culturally-blind policymaking, and highlight the importance of integrating the input of political-culture knowledge into the policy-making processes. Given this theoretical base, this paper presents a more effective methodological framework for addressing policy goals, based on the redefinition of the policy problem and a reformulation of policy plans-regarding strategy, institutions, and coalition-building-in accordance with local political-culture features and specific circumstances.

INTRODUCTIONThis special issue of Substance Use & Misuse details both the theoretical and methodological issues related to the use of narrative methods in exploring and better understanding substance use-related dependency, discusses the practical implications of such an approach, provides a range of study limitations, and notes some of the critical unresolved issues in this complex area of work.The "narrative turn" has entered history, anthropology, psychology, social work, sociolinguistics, communications studies, and sociology (see Atkinson Riessman, 2002). The importance of using narrative methods for the understanding of different psychosocial problems, including substance use-related dependency and the development of an in-depth analysis of alcohol and drug use in their range of patterns and meanings, has been pointed out in different ways by many researchers
