“…The analysis of place brand formation undertaken here reveals that there is no singular, objective, essential place brand to be 'built' or uncovered. Only different valid versions of it "that can be neither entirely reconciled nor dismissed" (van Duim et al, 2013).…”

Rethinking the place brand:The interactive formation of place brands and the role of participatory place branding This is a pre-publication version of Kavaratzis, M. and Kalandides, A. (2015) Rethinking the place brand: The interactional formation of place brands and the role of participatory place branding, Environment and Planning A, 47, 1368-1382. AbstractThis article attempts to 'rethink' place brands after examining in detail how people form them in their minds. The article starts with a very brief account of the place branding literature to provide the necessary background and goes on to identify what we see as a shortcoming in current understanding of the place brand: the dominant idea that brands are formed as sums of mental associations. The article attempts to take current understanding of place brands further by going beyond associations and adding a missing element: the interactions between those associations. We propose a rethinking of place brands based on two pillars: first we incorporate more geographical understanding into place branding and, second, we outline a process that allows place elements and place-based associations to combine and form the place brand. The place brand formation process starts when people use place-making elements (materiality, practices, institutions and representations) to form mental associations with the place. These associations are not static but evolve and change over time as they interact with each other on several dimensions. These interactions constitute the way in which the place brand is formed. The argumentation leads to a novel conceptualization of the role of place branding in the above processes. The practical applicability and implications of the proposed rethinking of place brands suggested here are explored in detail through the examination of the branding process followed recently in Bogotá, Colombia, where our approach to place branding has found practical application.

“…As an attempt to understand the processes of innovation and value-creation underlying the development of storytelling in destination management, as well as to analyse the actors, actions, processes and relations linked to the generation of content and the narration of territories by both managers and users, the actor-network theory interpretative framework (Latour, 2005;Lugosi & Erdé lyi, 2009;Van der Duim, Ren, & Jóhannesson, 2013) has been adopted.…”

“…To this end, the value co-creation perspective (Prahalad & Ramaswamy, 2004;Cabiddu, Lui, & Piccoli, 2013;Roseira & Brito, 2014) and Service-Dominant Logic (Lusch & Vargo, 2006, Grönroos, 2008Polese & Di Nauta, 2013) are adopted, and combined with the actor-network theory interpretative framework (Latour, 2005;Lugosi & Erdé lyi, 2009;Van der Duim, Ren, & Jóhannesson, 2013).…”

The rise of new business models based on shared content and experience has required tourism destinations to adopt appropriate tools for the construction and promotion of their identity based on sociality, emotions, interaction and connectivity. The aim of this paper is to analyse actors, actions, processes and relations related to the adoption and development of storytelling practices in tourism destination management, analysing critical aspects linked to the generation of content and the narration of territories. As an attempt to understand the processes of innovation and value-creation underlying the development of storytelling in destination management ("destination telling"), the Service Dominant Logic, and the actor-network theory interpretative framework have been adopted. The study was conducted following the qualitative methodology of multiple case studies. In view of the interviews and the analyses conducted, Destination Telling preconditions, contents, managerial criteria and outcomes have been identified, in reference to each of the three stages ("planning", "narration" and "assessment") the process has to be split. Finally, managerial implications for an involving construction and sharing of stories to happen have been examined and discussed.

“…Third, there are some theories that can be useful to show and understand these barriers (e.g., actor-network theory or the new economic sociology) and in some works on tourism these theories have been implemented (Czernek, 2014;Jack and Anderson, 2002;Van der Duim et al, 2013). However, there are only very few papers in tourism literature, where authors approach collaboration barriers using formal and informal institutions in the NIE.…”
