Culture in all its forms, the dissemination and construction of knowledge are among the fundamental missions of universities. The creation of an Observatory of cultural audiences and practices aims to evaluate the institution's actions and to respond to a growing demand for audience studies, both internally and from partners within the Aix-Marseille Université perimeter. This introductory morning will be an opportunity to introduce this quantitative, qualitative, exploratory and interdisciplinary evaluation system and its missions.
Thursday, December 8, 2022 - from 9am to 1pm
Museum of History of Marseille, 2 Rue Henri Barbusse, 13001 Marseille
By offering to combine scientific rigor and requirement with professional expertise in terms of survey methodology and analysis, the Observatory is at the interface of scientific research and the worlds of culture. The project team favors working in collaboration with numerous partners such as cultural and leisure structures and institutions, local authorities, scientific culture distribution networks, etc. The result is adjusted and territorialized studies thanks to which the Observatory comes to enlighten public debates and contribute to develop the dialogue between science and society on cultural issues.
This morning's program will include a presentation of the Observatory, as well as current and future surveys. Participants will be able to discover in more detail a survey already conducted at the Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur (FRAC) and to attend the feedback from this collaboration.
