Abstract | There is a participative turn in the field of cultural policy. Nevertheless, far from being coherent and generalized, this new focus is bound up with one of the peculiarities of
cultural policies: namely, the coexistence of several paradigms that induce distinct versions of participation. Secondly, it faces three major changes that affect the
relationship between culture and society. Technological, societal and political trends explain the growing role of participation as a protagonist in today’s Western societies,
with significant consequences on how cultural behaviour and cultural institutional strategies are reconfigured. In order to clarify the plural dimensions of participation and
its results and consequences on cultural life, we propose a model showing the distinct proactive roles of current citizens. This will then allow us to critically examine the
arguments and organizational implications for the achievement of political goals as well as their relationship with stakeholders' positions and human behaviour. This discussion
will be inspired by the assessment of BeSpectACTive!, a European action research project whose objective is to analyze active citizen participation in the field of
performing arts. |
