Ph.D. Sarah Holst Kjær, ethnologist, defended her thesis in 2009 on how urban leisure life – at the coffee-shop table, in the cinema, the hotel room and on the dance floor – is consumed in order to perform, create and maintain a romantic couple’s relationships. During the last three years, she has been a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre of Experience Economy, BI Norwegian Business School, in Kristiansand. The postdoc-project focused on the entrepreneurial processes in culture-based innovation; how a business, in the tourism and leisure industry, can accommodate and facilitate guests’ social and cultural identity via understandings of emotional consumption, storytelling and place making.

Ph.D. Per Strömberg, art historian, defended his thesis in 2007 on the spatial connection and symbiotic processes between business and aesthetics through narratives in today’s tourism industry. During the last three years, he has been a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre of Experience Economy, BI Norwegian Business School, in Kristiansand. The pd-project focused on the reuse of buildings as a cultural innovation strategy in tourism, event and retailing. For example, he has studied the creative reuse of bunkers, transformed into night clubs, art exhibitions, hotels and even product marketing events. This is another face of the aesthetization processes in society within the so-called experience economy.
