  abstract     = {{The geography of transitions literature has rightfully earned its spot among the 2019 research agenda’s nine themes for future research endeavours on sustainability transitions (Köhler et al., 2019). Currently, there is a consensus that ‘place’ influences the shaping of transition outcomes through ‘place-specific factors’. However, we still lack “insight about how place-specificity matters for transitions” (Hansen & Coenen, 2015, p.105). Moreover, transitions’ research has been criticizes for operationalizing ‘place’ too statically (Binz et al., 2020). Current advances in the geography of transitions literature propose to focus more on the ‘politics of place-making’ as a better approach to understand how geography, and more specifically place, matters in transitions. By focussing on so-called ‘place-frames’ scholars have shown how their evolution is shaped by and gets shaped by sustainability transitions-in-the-making. However, current approaches still black-box “how place-frames initially come into being, how processes of place-making unfold over time, and how, for example, the changing materiality of places matters” (Håkansson, 2018, p.36). In this conference paper I develop a transactional approach to place-making, rooted in Dewey’s transactional pragmatism, to address this gap. It is argued that the tools offered by transactionalism’s concepts and analytical methods enable a methodology for the in situ study of place-making.}},
