Mental Mapping The 'Creative City', Christopher Brennan-Horley
Mental Mapping The 'Creative City', Christopher Brennan-Horley
Christopher R Brennan-Horley
Cultural researchers are increasingly turning to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technologies for visualising spatially-oriented qualitative data. This paper discusses one example, where mental maps have been employed in interviews with creative industry workers and the results accumulated in a GIS for visualisation and analysis. This technique extends on participatory and qualitative methods that counteract overtly economic and empiricist techniques regularly employed in creative industry mapping studies. Collating together creative workers' mental maps within a GIS provides a means for exposing 'high traffic' areas - hot spots of creative activity - and other hidden geographies that comprise the 'creative city'. Key …
Cool Places, Creative Places? Community Perceptions Of Cultural Vitality In The Suburbs, Chris Gibson, Chris Brennan-Horley, Beth Laurenson, Naomi Riggs, Andrew Warren, Ben Gallan, Heidi Brown
Cool Places, Creative Places? Community Perceptions Of Cultural Vitality In The Suburbs, Chris Gibson, Chris Brennan-Horley, Beth Laurenson, Naomi Riggs, Andrew Warren, Ben Gallan, Heidi Brown

This article stems from a project examining cultural assets in Wollongong - a medium-sized Australian city with a decentralized and linear suburban pattern that challenges orthodox binaries of inner-city bohemia/outer-suburban domesticity. In Wollongong we documented community perceptions of cultural assets across this unusual setting, through a simple public research method. At the city's largest annual festival we recruited the general public to nominate the city's most 'cool' and 'creative' places, by drawing on a map of Wollongong and telling their stories. Hand-drawn maps from 205 participants were combined in a Geographical Information System and 50 hours of stories transcribed for …
Mapping Same-Sex Couple Family Households In Australia, Andrew Gorman-Murray, Christopher Brennan-Horley, Kirsten Mclean, Gordon Waitt, Christopher Gibson
Mapping Same-Sex Couple Family Households In Australia, Andrew Gorman-Murray, Christopher Brennan-Horley, Kirsten Mclean, Gordon Waitt, Christopher Gibson

The map (1:1,218,987) accompanying this report is the first to depict the distribution of same-sex couple family households across Australia. The map and the report contribute to emerging scholarship combining critical geographies of sexualities with quantitative techniques and GIS in order to advance the political claims of sexual minorities. The data were collected through the 2006 Census and obtained via consultation with the Australian Bureau of Statistics. These data included the number of same-sex couple family households for all Statistical Divisions across Australia and for Statistical Sub-Divisions within metropolitan capital cities. Geographical concentrations of same-sex couple family households were determined …
Work And Play: Vagaries Surrounding Contemporary Culture Production In Sydney's Dance Music Culture, Christopher Brennan-Horley
Work And Play: Vagaries Surrounding Contemporary Culture Production In Sydney's Dance Music Culture, Christopher Brennan-Horley
Christopher R Brennan-Horley
Much recent research has documented how, under 'creative' capitalism, approaches towards work and types of work are changing. This paper extends this research direction, uncovering the discourses that influence conditions of work in one sector of the cultural industries: what can loosely be defined as the 'dance music industry'. It examines the role that networking and social relations play in maintaining a music scene through which work opportunities are created. The paper also explores how attitudes toward work in this particular cultural pursuit are emblematic of wider shifts in working practices within the cultural and creative industries. The findings are …
Finding Creativity In A Small City:How Qualitative Mapping Methods Can Reveal New Geographies Of Creativity, Chris Brennan-Horley
Finding Creativity In A Small City:How Qualitative Mapping Methods Can Reveal New Geographies Of Creativity, Chris Brennan-Horley
Christopher R Brennan-Horley
This chapter outlines a qualitative mapping approach suitable for uncovering key geographical themes associated with small city creative industries. Until recently, the spatial dynamics underpinning creative economies in small cities and other places that constitute an imagined creative 'periphery' (Gibson 2010), have been absent from debates about the geography of creative industries. Instead, the focus has settled on case studies from large cities of Europe and North America, and selected ones at that, where stories of creative industry agglomeration and transformation are most obvious. Oft-cited examples include London, New York, Los Angeles, Manchester and Berlin, fuelling generalisations about the spatiality …
The Geography Of Same-Sex Families In Australia: Implications For Regulatory Regimes, Christopher Brennan-Horley, Andrew Gorman-Murray
The Geography Of Same-Sex Families In Australia: Implications For Regulatory Regimes, Christopher Brennan-Horley, Andrew Gorman-Murray
Christopher R Brennan-Horley
Knowledge of the geographical scope of same-sex families is useful in appealing for relationship and family formation rights. This article analyses the geography of same-sex families in Australia through a critical mapping exercise, offering geographical analysis as a means to assist with their human rights claims. While maps have been used to shore up political and legal power, ‘subversive’ maps can visually challenge dominant views and advance minority groups' constitutive and, distributional politics. We utilise 2006 Census data to map the distribution of same-sex couple family households across Australia, including variations by gender and dependent children. Same-sex families are widespread: …

Reappraising The Role Of Suburban Workplaces In Darwin's Creative Economy, Chris Brennan-Horley
Christopher R Brennan-Horley
Traditionally, suburbs have been conceived as dormitory – in binary opposition to the inner-city (Powell). Supporting this stereotypical view have been gendered binaries between inner and outer city areas; densely populated vs. sprawl; gentrified terraces and apartment culture vs. new estates and first home buyers; zones of (male) production and creativity against (female) sedate, consumer territory. These binaries have for over a decade been thoroughly criticised by urban researchers, who have traced such representations and demonstrated how they are discriminatory and incorrect (see Powell; Mee; Dowling and Mee). And yet, such binaries persist in popular media commentaries and even in …
