Abstract

Contextualization has received increased attention in organization and entrepreneurship studies, yet predominant assumptions remain of contexts as fixed and having objectivist effects on organizing and entrepreneurial activities, independent from local actors’ perceptions. In this paper, we bring forward the phenomenology of place as a means to be reflexive about contexts and resist the epistemic coloniality in organization and entrepreneurship studies. Drawing on our work with home-based women entrepreneurs in rural Central Java, Indonesia, we illustrate how we can examine “home as a place” that is experienced and practiced, offering new insights that challenge dominant assumptions underlying the notion of home.
