Abstract

In what way does geographic location, at the neighbourhood level, influences the work commitment of a specific set of workers: independent creative professionals or salaried entrepreneurs in creative, cultural microenterprises? Referring to recent literature on relational geography, we examine "placeness" in the context of workers in the "Quartier des Olivettes", one of Nantes Metropole's creative clusters. Thirty-two individual interviews reveal two series of placeness properties (identity, familiarity, vitality and everydayness; centrality, connectivity and serendipity) which support organisational socialisation. The place/quarter emerges as a third-organisation reducing incertitude and instability.
