Night-time economies have traditionally clustered in city centres and nightlife districts. Yet, due to regulation, urban regeneration and gentrification, nightlife activities and spaces, including nightclubs and club nights, are increasingly located across cities. However, the significance and spatial dynamics of this diffusion and the relationships between different nocturnal spaces and scales remain poorly understood. This paper examines the intra-urban dispersal of nightclubs in Amsterdam and the ways in which nightclub promoters attune their curatorial practices to urban processes through genre-based commercial and cultural imperatives. Drawing on interviews with 36 nightclub promoters, 111 hours of participant observation at clubs and document-based analysis, it demonstrates how these reflexive actors respond and contribute to intra-urban dispersal by (1) spatialising music genres, (2) staging affective atmospheres at different scales and (3) spatialising audiences. The paper contributes to studies which focus on nocturnal spaces, actors and activities and the evolving urban geography within cities.

谈判夜晚：夜总会发起人如何调整他们的策展实践以适应阿姆斯特丹城市内夜生活的分散

夜间经济传统上集中在市中心和夜生活区。然而，由于监管、城市复兴和高档化，夜生活活动和空间，包括夜总会和俱乐部之夜，越来越多地分布在城市各地。然而，这种扩散的意义和空间动态以及不同夜间空间和尺度之间的关系仍然知之甚少。本文研究了阿姆斯特丹夜总会在城市内的分布情况，以及夜总会发起人如何通过基于流派的商业和文化要求来调整其策展实践以适应城市进程。通过对 36 名夜总会发起人的采访、对夜总会 111 小时的参与者观察以及基于文档的分析，它展示了这些反射性演员如何通过 (1) 空间化音乐流派、(2) 在不同的尺度和（3）空间化观众。该论文致力于研究夜间空间、参与者和活动以及城市内不断变化的城市地理。
