Emotions, performance and entrepreneurship in the context of fringe theatre
通过对小型独立剧团的研究，探讨创业者如何调动和激活激情，揭示激情的多重性及其在权力关系中的表演性角色，有助于理解创业中的情感表现。
Through a study of small scale independent theatre companies, generally known as ‘fringe’, this article explores how passion is drawn on and activated as company founders seek an outlet for their work. Drawing on a social constructionist approach to emotions, we highlight the multiplicity of passion through its positive and negative dimensions as well as how these may intersect. Further, by positioning passion within a set of power relations we point to its performative role in reflecting and reinforcing contextually specific discursive regimes. We contribute to the literature on the social and emotional performance of entrepreneurialism and to understandings of passion that characterize the affective entrepreneurial condition.
