Learning unit contents
Social and cultural mediation
The coordination between the aims of artistic mediation and social action is currently addressed by a wide variety of mechanisms for dealing with individuals and territories. Sometimes, specific rules support the development of these interventions (e.g.: cultural, social or municipal policies). In the past, these actions were more spontaneous, initiated by artists, social actors or groups of citizens directly. Whether the objective is security-related, therapeutic or aimed at social cohesion, a specific reality emerges as soon as the ambition consists of associating a social and a cultural goal. The purpose of this course is to take a close look at sociocultural intervention, from every aspect, by studying policies and concrete systems (e.g.: social theatre, art therapy, etc.).
Students will examine several aspects of these mediation processes through case studies and scientific articles: How do they create communal action (political, social, etc.)? According to what conditions and through which medium (artistic, relationships)? Which professionals work in this sub-sector of social intervention? Which concrete objects are used in these mechanisms and what are the results? What are the obstacles and how are they dealt with (or not)? Pragmatic sociology is the chosen approach.
