Abstract

Thomas N. J., Harvey D. C. and Hawkins H. Crafting the region: creative industries and practices of regional space, Regional Studies . This paper draws on an analysis of craft-based networks in South West Britain to inform one's understandings of regional space; around thinking 'territorially' and thinking 'topologically'. It considers how the contemporary 'relational region' negotiates the historical context of sedimented practices and imaginaries of territory and authority. Through an analysis of micro-social relations, the paper examines how regionally based governance structures are negotiated through trans-local, inter-regional and international practices. It calls for attention to be placed on the planned and prosaic, conscious and unconscious practices, discourses and connections that are involved in the becoming of a region.
