title = "Enacting (new) possibilities of living: Entrepreneurship and affirmation",
abstract = "Motivated by the need to reflect upon the role of entrepreneurship in the economy and society, we seek to understand entrepreneurship as having the potential to {\textquoteleft}produce{\textquoteright} new possibilities for living when departing from a critical awareness. We consider existing critical entrepreneurship research as necessary but insufficient in adequately bringing about new perspectives of entrepreneurship as it often tends to be a position {\textquoteleft}against entrepreneurship{\textquoteright}, discrediting the phenomenon from the many possible values it may invoke. We suggest affirmative critique (Weiskopf \& Steyaert, 2009; Dey \& Steyaert, 2018) to {\textquoteleft}turn critique into creativity{\textquoteright}, thus making critique productive and exploring how actual transformation (e.g., alternatives) can be invoked when adopting such a stance.",
