“…We argue that in practicing animatorship our respondents were engaging in a type of phronesis, or practical wisdom relating to the practical everyday side of community engagement (Flyvbjerg 2002;MacIntyre 1985). Thus, entrepreneurial animation requires experience and virtuosity and mirrors the processes of conscientization (Berglund and Johansson 2007). To return to the literature and the discussion of animatorship possibly having contradictory impact, repleting the community in some ways while depleting it in others (Johnstone and Lionais 2004), we argue that the notion of phronesis strengthens animatorship as an analytical concept because it deals with practice and the practical and avoids interrogating or understanding other higher level theories such as practice theory.…”

“…Berglund and Johansson's (2007) study of entrepreneurship in a region of decline and the Diversity in Entrepreneurship (DiE) project which was launched to help the region become more entrepreneurial and inclusive is of relevance. The logic of the study suggests that, although entrepreneurial initiatives are ever-present, the dominant enterprise discourse can suppress both the equality discourse the ability for particular groups in society to view themselves as entrepreneurs through a process of 'conscientization' .…”

This paper introduces and discusses the concept of animatorship in relation to rural enterprise and development. At its simplest level, animatorship is the art of animating others to achieve their objectives. We develop and apply this concept to understanding community development and community enterprise, with a specific emphasis on rural communities. We present a descriptive, conceptual study of a new concept i.e. animation in the context of entrepreneurship. The fieldwork for this paper took the form of structured face-to-face interviews with community development workers in November-January 2015/2016. These workers actively stimulate, motivate and inspire others and orchestrate situations and people to bring about change through others, not merely doing things for them. They build environments and relationships in which people grow, directing and focusing energies to develop and empower people's emotional and social lives and relationships through patient, open listening and group conversation.

“…She offered preventive medicine in the form of exercise, massage, and yoga, which her customers also came to demand from the labor ward. Another example is a local network for entrepreneurs from ethnic minorities called NEEM, which was dedicated to support women and challenge existing and discriminating entrepreneurship norms (Berglund and Johansson 2007). This network has grown into a national network, ultimately inspiring the inauguration of the first Swedish micro-finance institute, promoting entrepreneurship among women in areas with large unemployment figures or women who find themselves in a disempowered situation.…”

“…This concerns the reflective learning process, and thus the 'situated' or the 'existential' learning perspectives addressed recently by Neergaard et al (2012). Effects of critical thinking combined with experiential learning are also discussed in Kakouris and Ketikidis (2012) while Berglund and Johansson (2007) discussed critical pedagogy perspectives in entrepreneurship and regional development.…”

Entrepreneurship education is an evolving field that confronts obstacles due to fragmentation issues and eclectic approaches that have to be resolved utilising robust educational theories and tools able to intrude effectively the entrepreneurial research discourse. Entrepreneurial learning is also the outcome of education and an unequivocal component of theorising about entrepreneurship. Based on explanatory bibliometric techniques, the present study examines, for the first time, how these terms have emerged in the extant entrepreneurship literature since eighties. A set of 7726 abstracts, retrieved from the SCOPUS database, is analysed through (key)word frequencies, co-occurrence networks and citations. Quantitative findings verify the customary picture for entrepreneurship education that exhibits low academic citation and loose connections with learning theories. The present data also reveal that the connection of entrepreneurship with lifelong learning settings, vocational training and career counselling is scarce in literature. Other 'gaps' in research pertain to the comprehensive examination of experiential learning, advanced learning processes and education for innovation. The quantitatively identified shortage of the previous research topics is crucial for the future development of the field of entrepreneurship. Implications concern educational researchers in the field of entrepreneurship, educational agencies or policies as well as academic publishers.
