Title
Networks and Place in Montreal's Independent Music Industry
Abstract
The authors note that the significance of networks for independent music producers has been well established in the urban-economic geography literature and the literature centred on cultural industries. In this article, they seek to build on this literature by considering how place-based attributes mediate network development; that is to say, how the unique characteristics of place (such as historical and cultural attributes) determine networking outcomes among spatially proximate actors. Specifically, the authors consider the importance of place through an examination of Montreal's independent music industry. Drawing on 46 semi-structured interviews with key actors in the industry, the authors illustrate how Montreal's bilingual identity contributes to network dynamics within the industry.
