Cultural mediation and the dissemination of knowledge in the digital age

Forms and effects of the mediation of the past

Presentation Participants Publications

Cultural mediation and the dissemination of knowledge in the digital age. Institutional information, editorial and informational practices, and socio-technological systems

The purpose of this project is two-fold: analysis of the articulation dynamics between cultural and scientific mediation, on the one hand, and innovative digital technologies on the other. This project involves two interactional lines of research:

The first line treats “Topicality, politics, and practices of publicizing knowledge by cultural and scholarly institutions in the digital age.” We study these institutions’ politics of communication and the editorial practices that materialized during the construction of a “digital informational ecosystem” and the transfers/mutations of forms of cultural and scholarly mediation. The analyses draw from both professional trade publications and fieldwork.

The second line, “Digital humanities and transformations in the production and dissemination of scholarly and cultural knowledge,” focuses on the conception of the New Statistical Tool (NOS) destined to characterize the actions of a dozen heritage institutions on social networks. Analyses of politics and innovative editorial practices, as well as software developments, will be shared within the cluster.

La construction d’un espace patrimonial partagé dans le web de données ouvert, entre interopérabilité et stratégies institutionnelles

Mots clés

cultural interoperability, heritage, digitization, Linked Open Data, France

Résumé

Interoperability is analyzed here from a conceptual, technical, and cultural standpoint. The authors examine institutional policies and practices in the heritage field with respect to digitization and the provision of cultural resources in digital format by probing possible forms of interoperability. They then showcase these forms and the visibility and dissemination issues they raise by analyzing the strategic, editorial, and technical choices made with respect to the Linked Open Data (LOD) models selected by a cross section of French cultural institutions.

Museums’ Institutional Strategies for Linked Open Data: Towards an Inter-Museum Digital Cultural Space?

Études de communication

ISBN: 2101-0366
URL / DOI: DOI of the journal
Editeur: Université Lille-3

Mots clés

institutional strategies, inter-museum space, Linked Open Data, heritage mediation

Résumé

This article focuses on the institutional strategies and cultural heritage mediation practices of museums that make use of the socio-technical affordances of Linked Open Data (LOD). We highlight, the issues raised by the implementation of LOD in the cultural sector with respect to images, visibility and dissemination of heritage objects. We then analyze the articulation between organizations’ editorial strategies and the construction of conceptual and technical LOD models by presenting the characteristics of currently emerging heritage mediation practices. In light of the practices studied, we explore the possibility of an inter-museum digital cultural space.

Museums as Reterritorialization Spaces in the Digital Age : between Knowledge Publishing and Institutional Communication

The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum, volume 6

URL / DOI: DOI de la revue
Editeur: CG Publisher

Mots clés

Museums, Institutional Communication, Publishing Practices, Scientific Mediation, Cultural Mediation, Digital Technologies, Intermediation

Résumé

This paper deals with the types of knowledge publishing conducted by museums in the digital age. Digital environments are seen as spaces for the renegotiation and reterritorialization of the relations between culture, science, and society. We analyze the linkage dynamics between cultural and scientific mediation and digital techniques by focusing on authorship and intermediation. This work is based on a corpus of professional sources and field work. We conclude by discussing the reconfiguration of models of mediation in an international public space where institutional communication policies and cultural mediation, industrial strategies and public contributions interconnect.
