“…The visual mode, on the other hand, provides two distinct affordances that help alleviate a lesser prestige of text producers in the field. First, visual text is able to materialize certain pragmatic outcomes of the novel idea as a fact, and thereby detach justification from the author (e.g., Graves, Flesher, & Jordan, 1996;Jones, Meyer, Jancsary, & Höllerer, 2017).…”

“…Semiotic modes are bound to particular historical and cultural conditions (Kress & van Leeuwen, 2006), and we have defined their cultural features according to the Western context. In addition, vocabularies (Loewensten et al, 2012) and 'visual codes' (Jones et al, 2017) are distinct to specific institutional domains or value spheres. We encourage research that empirically compares the distribution, use, and interaction of semiotic modes across various cultural and institutional contexts.…”

“…Material forms stabilize memories and give durability to social structural categories, such as religion or ethnicity (Cresswell, 2004;Gieryn, 2000;Jones & Massa, 2013). They enhance perceptions of objectivity and exteriority (Jones, Meyer, Jancsary, & Höllerer, 2017) and engender permanence, which depends on "an investment in fixity" such as infrastructure (Cresswell, 2004, p. 6, 58) because social life is "crystalized" and "fixed upon material supports" (Durkheim, 1897(Durkheim, /1951. Thus, material forms enable institutionalization-the relative permanence of a social sort (Hughes, 1936) that provides stability (Scott, 2003).…”

Institutionalizing Place: Materiality and Meaning in Boston’s North End

Microfoundations of institutions are central to constructing place-the interplay of location, meaning, and material form. Since only a few institutional studies bring materiality to the fore to examine the processes of place-making, how material forms interact with people to institutionalize or de-institutionalize the meaning of place remains a black box. Through an inductive and historical study of Boston's North End neighborhood, we show how locally situated churches that symbolically encoded multivocality shape the institutionalized meaning of the North End as a place.

“…Our use of Lego was inspired by the work of Gauntlet (2007), who adopted the Lego Serious Play methodology as a social research tool, now used across a range of academic disciplines (Rainford, 2020;McCusker, 2020;Wengel and McIntosh, 2019). Visuality and materiality are regarded as distinct modes of constructing and communicating meaning (Jones et al, 2017). Although there is some criticism that the visual and the verbal modes substitute for one another (Gehman and Grimes, 2017), most research points to complementary, mutually reinforcing roles (Boxenbaum et al, 2018;Cartel et al, 2018).…”

Climbing to freedom on an impossible staircase: Exploring the emancipatory potential of becoming an entrepreneur-employer

This article contributes to critical discussions questioning the emancipatory potential of entrepreneurship by examining the experiences of men and women entrepreneurs who have recently become employers in South Wales, the United Kingdom. Our research uses a co-creative visual method based in interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore transitions from entrepreneur to entrepreneur-employer in everyday contexts. Findings demonstrate how initial emancipatory experiences become increasingly bounded when becoming an entrepreneur-employer. This exposes a Catch-22 of entrepreneuring-as-emancipation as a symptom of neoliberal entrepreneurial discourses that constrain what entrepreneurs are encouraged to do: grow. We find a plurality of particular emancipations, but conclude that within a developed context entrepreneurship, and more specifically, becoming an entrepreneur-employer is a relational step through which perceived constraints become more readily experienced and emancipation never fully realised.
