Sažetak
Post-industrial ethnography and deindustrialisation studies have been focusing heavily at declining industries, suffering communities and ruined places. As labour scholars try to understand what comes after industry, especially where there is certainty that the process of re-industrialisation will not occur, they turn their interest toward emerging communities and new subjectivities arising from the ashes of economic transition and end of industrial cultures. This paper focuses on a young entrepreneurial team, a group of people gathered around the first private business incubator called PISAK, located in the Croatian city of Sisak. The paper draws upon interviews with the entrepreneurial team of PISAK to explore the emerging entrepreneurial narratives and practices and reviews how these narratives and practices relate to an abandoned industrial setting while working toward re-imagining labour and directing it toward the imaginary of post-industrial economy. The paper tackles several questions: what it takes and who happens to be the game changer and bearer of the emerging entrepreneurial subjectivity in the city of Sisak ; what socio- technological narrative (or imaginary) feeds into the image of the future of otherwise deindustrialised city, and what are the prominent entrepreneurial ideas that strive to change the workscape of the deindustrialised city.
