关于社会企业家精神的研究越来越关注与意识形态有关的问题。与现有的倾向于用贬义词表达“意识形态”的研究相反（即，需要克服的东西），本文认为意识形态是使社会企业家成为人们可以认同的对象的关键机制。具体而言，借鉴可以说是最多产的社会企业家中介机构之一的定性研究，全球影响枢纽网络，我们调查社会企业家是如何被叙述为一个“理想的主题”，这对其他人的信号需要什么才能过上有意义的（工作）生活。从Boltanski，Chiapello和Thévenaut提出的正当性理论以及最近基于影响的意识形态理论中，我们的研究结果表明，成为社会企业家与其说是一个斗争，困难和毅力的问题，不如说是“享受乐趣”。我们警告说，充满社会企业家形象的享受承诺可能会培养一种空洞的“快乐”的被动态度，这实际上剥夺了社会企业家更激进的可能性。本文最后讨论了更广泛的影响，这种享乐主义的社会企业家精神的再现，并建议通过面对什么Slavoj ižek称之为“不可能”的社会企业家精神的重新政治化。
Research on social entrepreneurship has taken an increasing interest in issues pertaining to ideology. In contrast to existing research which tends to couch ‘ideology’ in pejorative terms (i.e., something which needs to be overcome), this paper conceives ideology as a key mechanism for rendering social entrepreneurship an object with which people can identify. Specifically, drawing on qualitative research of arguably one of the most prolific social entrepreneurship intermediaries, the global Impact Hub network, we investigate how social entrepreneurship is narrated as an ‘ideal subject,’ which signals toward others what it takes to lead a meaningful (working) life. Taking its theoretical cues from the theory of justification advanced by Boltanski, Chiapello and Thévenaut, and from recent affect-based theorizing on ideology, our findings indicate that becoming a social entrepreneur is considered not so much a matter of struggle, hardship, and perseverance but rather of ‘having fun.’ We caution that the promise of enjoyment which pervades portrayals of the social entrepreneur might cultivate a passive attitude of empty ‘pleasure’ which effectively deprives social entrepreneurship of its more radical possibilities. The paper concludes by discussing the broader implications this hedonistic rendition of social entrepreneurship has and suggests a re-politicization of social entrepreneurship through a confronting with what Slavoj Žižek calls the ‘impossible.’
