First, we provide an historical accounting of how managerial values have contributed to de-politicization in the wider public sphere, with a particular focus on academia. We point towards the constraints it places on those who wish to take a creative approach. In an attempt to avoid this, we provide a picture and discuss the institutional framework in which creative methods are deployed to understand and critique the values and practices of managerialism in academia. We see the entrenchment of managerialism as contradictory to the stated aims of the application of creative methods in knowledge production. As managerialism-here understood as the application of corporate values and practices into all sectors of society-continues to play a large role in the production and creation of knowledge, we argue that creative methods have the potential to either subvert or reinforce these trends.

This chapter aims to put creative methods into the context of wider trends in university institutions. Through an ethnographic history of the nonprofit arts space Cocoroom, I contribute to the anthropology of gentrification by focusing on entrepreneurial forms of creativity in local arts organizations, which reveal historical transformations of public space in Japanese urban policy, and highlight the symbolic performances of marginal communities. In this paper, I focus on a workingвЂђclass district of South Osaka known as Kamagasaki, infamous for its longstanding population of day laborers and homeless, in which gentrification has taken a complex route through various projects of cultural representation. Gentrification is recognizable across contemporary urban societies, but its practices are contingent on representations of local cultural expression, which have particular ramifications in postindustrial centers of urban Japan.
