Special Issue - Putting Partnerships in their Place: Moral and Material Processes of Place-based Respect, Repair, and Renewal

Submission status
Closed

Corporate Social Partnerships (CSPs) and place are intrinsically reciprocal as CSPs' dynamics are shaped by the places where they are formed; these settings in turn are shaped by their CSPs. The morality and materiality inherent in places repeatedly reset the reference points for partners, trigger epiphanies, shift identities, and redistribute capacities to act. Papers in this SI show that place thus becomes generative of partnerships in the most profound sense: by developing an awareness of their emplacement, CSPs commit to place, and through their place-based commitments produce three intertwined modalities of place-specific ethics that bind CSPs and place: ethic of recognition, an ethic of care, and an ethic of resilience. Our authors have found vivid examples of how emplaced CSPs embody these ethics, signaling hope for the sustainability of our (always hyper-local) life-worlds.
