L’exploitant de cinéma articule l’espace public cinématographique et l’espace public ; il offre une définition, une objectivation du cinéma au sein de l’espace public, dans la manière dont il construit un cadre d’expérience esthétique. Il est donc à la croisée des chemins : il doit veiller à donner un site (matériel et symbolique) à l’expérience esthétique, selon les logiques propres à son champ et en considérant la « demande » du public.Les problématiques de son métier concernent aussi bien son positionnement concurrentiel, que son positionnement au sein de l’espace public cinématographique ainsi qu’au sein de l’espace public. La présente thèse vise à en rendre compte, de manière transdisciplinaire et engage également une réflexion sur le discours porté sur le cinéma au sein de l’espace public ainsi que la fonction que lui accorde cet espace. Les nouveaux dispositifs numériques peuvent conduire à la radicalisation du caractère mass media du film (en multipliant les modalités de réception), mais ils offrent également nouvelles configurations esthétiques; le cinéma doit donc être (re)défini en fonction de ces nouvelles possibilités (partie 1).C’est toute l’institution cinématographique qui est confrontée à la problématique de l’émergence des nouveaux médias et qui, malgré elle, tend à réduire la valeur expérientielle du cinéma au caractère mass media du film. Or, c’est le marché qui capte et exploite le plus cette logique (partie 2).Cependant, l’exploitant n’est pas seulement un diffuseur ; le travail de l’exploitant est également d’opérer une médiation. Ainsi, il s’agit de considérer les problématiques de sociabilité engagées par la salle de cinéma et les conditions de création de micro-agora, de micro espace public par l’exploitation (partie 3).Ce n’est que dans une saisie globale des deux aspects du cinéma (mass media et micro agora) que l’exploitant a une fonction claire et importante, qu’il convient de revaloriser au sein de l’espace public cinématographique (conclusion). / The movie theatre manager articulates the cinematographic public place and the public place. He proposes a definition and an objectification of the cinema within the public place, depending how he « builds » an aesthetic experiment frame. Thus, the movie theatre manager is on a « crossroad ’: he has to ensure the (material and symbolical) frame required for an aesthetic experiment, depending on institutional practices and according to the spectators « demands». The business challenges of the movie theatre manager concern as well its competitive location, as its location within the cinematographic public place as well as within the public place. This thesis aims at reporting it, in an interdisciplinary way. It also commits a comment on the definitions of the cinema belonging to the public place as well as the function that this space grants it.The new digital devices can drive to the radicalisation of the mass media aspect of the movie (by multiplying the ways of reception). But they also offer new aesthetic configurations. Thus, the cinema has to be (re) defined according to these new possibilities (Part 1).It is all the film institution which is concerned by the problems due to the new technologies emergence and which tends to reduce the cinematographic experiential value to the mass media of the film aspect. Now the market exploits this logic more than the institutions do and so appears as the only guarantor of the quality (Part 2).However, the movie theatre manager is not only a diffuser; his work also is to proceeds a mediation. So, it is a matter of considering the sociability problematics committed by the theatre space and the conditions of creation of micro- agora, micro public place by the movie theatre (Part 3).It is only in a global seizure of both aspects of the cinema (mass media and micro-agora) that the movie theatre manager has a clear and an important function, that it must be revalued within the film public place (conclusion).

Cette thèse concerne la labellisation de cinq opéras de région, en France, entre 1996 et 2006 : l’Opéra National de Lorraine, l’Opéra National de Montpellier, l’Opéra National de Lyon, l’Opéra National de Bordeaux, et l’Opéra National du Rhin. L’étude porte sur une forme qui englobe obligatoirement d’autres formes artistiques quasi autonomes et professionnalisées (orchestre, ballet, choeur) et sur les changements en cours dans l’économie de ces organisations traditionnellement sous tutelle municipale repositionnées au coeur d’une gouvernance multiscalaire et mises au défi de faire croître leur visibilité et celle de leur activité. Nous nous intéressons dans ce cadre à ce sur quoi reposent les stratégies de renouvellement développées par ces organisations culturelles, sédimentées et conventionnelles, prises entre le politique et le marché, dans un cadre particulier à la France où l'État se reconnaît comme garant de la qualité. Pour conduire l’étude, nous utilisons la labellisation comme marqueur de ces changements et comme dispositif participant à l’instrumentation de ces opéras dans un marché restreint. Ce qui se voit, c'est une ouverture organisée, selon un mode de fonctionnement par projets et selon un mode de diversification réfléchie de leur activité à un niveau de complexité jamais égalé, sous la pression de l'envahissement de la sphère culturelle par les logiques marchandes et médiatiques. Cette instrumentation est réalisée par le déploiement de dispositifs de jugement dans une économie des singularités dans laquelle le théâtre d’opéra est amené à chercher lui-même à asseoir sa continuité. Sont discutées les stratégies développées quant à l’incertitude inhérente à la création artistique et à la dépendance financière et les effets du dispositif opéra national qui donne lieu à un « remplissement » stratégique perpétuel (Michel Foucault), du fait de la remobilisation du dispositif dans la gestion des effets secondaires qu’il a lui-même induit, et dans la dynamique duquel le pouvoir, la visibilité et la légitimité occupent une place centrale. Notre démarche inductive et pluridisciplinaire et la posture critique adoptée conduisent à l’élaboration d’une étude donnant une grande place à l’indétermination des rapports et des humains, dans une ontologie constructiviste modérée. Le sujet singulier qu’est l’organisation d’un théâtre d’opéra en France, les raisons de ces choix et la méthodologie appliquée sont présentés pour éclairer le lecteur dans sa rencontre avec un milieu d’ordinaire fermé. Enfin, la conclusion retrace certains liens et pointe des aspects à creuser dans une recherche ultérieure afin de comprendre ce que donne à voir, sur le présent et l'avenir des Opéras de région en France, l'attribution par le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication d'un label de « qualité ». / Our thesis discusses the process and consequences of the attribution, by the State, of a national label to five regional opera houses in France between 1996 and 2006. Through this event, we look closely at the current changes in the opera house as an organization which has traditionally been under municipal governance and is with this label repositioned under a governing body which includes the Region and the central State and its demands for greater visibility. Our objective is to understand the strategic renewal of opera houses outside Paris in a centralized political system where the State is said to guaranty cultural access and artistic quality. We do so by using the attribution of the national label as a marker and as a device that participates in the instrumentation of opera houses in a restricted market and a changing normative frame within which opera houses are brought to secure their own continuity. With a brief overlook at how opera houses have been transformed into a venue meant to entertain citizens and magnify cities, we give the reader an understanding of opera houses as conventional and regimented organizations forever bond to politics and the market. The particular organization of an opera house in France, the reasons behind the choices made and the applied methodology are then presented. Our inductive and multidisciplinary approach, supported by the critical posture adopted, leads us to the elaboration of a study where undetermined connections and human beings evolve within moderate constructivist ontology. We then suggest that the label, which gives rise to a perpetual strategic “remplissement” (Foucault), is inevitably remobilized to manage the side effects brought by its very existence. Power and legitimacy occupy in this dynamic a central place that we exemplify and discuss thoroughly. Our research presents an original way to understand the recent transformation of the French regional operas houses as expressed, and apprehended, by the attribution by the ministry of Culture and Communication of a “quality” label that enables them to gradually enter the growing mediated spheres already endorsed by cultural industries.

The present work is focused on leisure in São Paulo city, in an attempt to grasp the meanings which this concept and that of culture have come to take on in this metropolitan context during the last decades of the 20th century. This was the period when leisure was consolidated as a field of studies associated with the sphere of labor and new demands for entertainment in the city, thus reinforcing the need to understand the various meanings it came to acquire. The thesis is centered on an institution designed to provide leisure for workers - the São Paulo Commerce Social Service, SESC - and it analyses the guidelines that have oriented its course of action and the social practices it has been implementing since it was created in the 40's. The research was based on the iconographic collection of the SESC São Paulo and interviews with members and former workers of the institution, thus allowing for the analysis of the iconography to be set in proper context. This methodology unveiled the significance of the various practices of sport and culture developed by the institution along its 60 years of existence, thus permitting us the identify some aspects of the guiding lines followed by the SESC São Paulo, and to reflect upon the meanings taken on by leisure and culture within this universe, in the dialogue it has established with the metropolis / A temática do lazer e da cultura apresenta uma relevância crescente na sociedade atual, perante o quadro de mudanças gerado pela globalização e pelo reposicionamento do universo do trabalho, suscitando um amplo leque de questões e reflexões em relação às práticas do lazer, seus significados e seu alcance social. Este trabalho aborda o lazer na metrópole paulistana, buscando compreender os sentidos adquiridos por este conceito e pela problemática da cultura nas décadas finais do século XX em São Paulo. Nesta época, consolida-se o campo do lazer como área do conhecimento associada à esfera do trabalho e a novas demandas de entretenimento na metrópole, reforçando-se assim a necessidade de entender seus múltiplos significados. A tese focaliza a atuação de uma instituição voltada para o lazer dos trabalhadores - o SESC São Paulo - para analisar o seu direcionamento e as práticas sociais ali implementadas desde sua criação nos anos 40. A pesquisa realizada trabalhou com o acervo iconográfico do SESC São Paulo e depoimentos de membros e ex-funcionários da instituição que permitem contextualizar a análise da iconografia. Esta metodologia permitiu compreender a significação das diversas práticas esportivas e culturais desenvolvidas pela instituição no decorrer de sua trajetória de 60 anos, possibilitando identificar aspectos da orientação seguida por esta entidade e refletir sobre os significados de lazer e de cultura no interior deste universo, em diálogo com a metrópole

Cultural actions promote forms of communication among the several types of population, which integrate a municipality, between a city and its outskirts, and show that these changes occurring to the city modify its outskirts, thus altering the relationship between both of them. The nature of these actions is exactly what depicts the profile of what they communicate, so the importance of each one of them. Because of this, it is indispensable to learn how to identify the existing link of each cultural action and the society in which it operates. By understanding the cultural policies to the dance carried out in the city Araraquara, SP, during 2001-2008, as a process of communication, the thesis states the hypothesis that the set of cultural actions carried out made the city different from the other Brazilian cities of similar size and geographical situation and connected, linked it with another sort of circuit. The dance is used as an outline that explains and clarifies the hypothesis. The two projects here researched, objects of study of the current thesis - the Municipal School of Dance Iracema Nogueira, founded in 2002, and the Araraquara Dance Festival, created in 2001 were born from a distinct point of view of what had been traditionally done in the city. Its introduction aroused resistance and demanded strategies of communication capable of bringing about its adaptation to the Araraquarense society. In order to research the strategies that performed such transformation, it was used the bibliography on communication theories with a political view (BARBERO, MATTELART, SODRÉ) examined under the light of NEGRI & HARDT, BAUMAN and VIRNO. By using these authors, it was possible to develop the argument that the consolidation of projects, like both above described, by involving the city in singular and unusual forms, ended up by getting some strength that will possibly ensure its continuity facing and confronting the Brazilian tradition of interruption and discontinuity of cultural projects, even the successful ones, very election, when the political parties change places and come to power. To know the historical record of the forms of communication of dance in Araraquara in this period allows us to evaluate with more acuity and sharpness the transformation performed by both projects, which were born and introduced facing and transforming the centers of resistance that could be foreseen, since they dismissed the concept of dance which, up to the time, was used in the city. When substituting the championships and contests among the several private dance schools that took place under the name of Dance Festival , by collaborative forms among dance professionals, the Araraquara Dance Festival has interrupted the communication between Araraquara and the other cities where this type of competitive contests happened and has enrolled it in another circuit, the one of the professional, non-competitive festivals. Evidently, this act has harmed the local interests which united the private dance schools and some years were necessary so that the environment could be reconciled and harmonized again. The opening of the Municipal Dance School Iracema Nogueira, with a very diverse core curriculum, thus different from those applied in the other schools, opened another crack in the hegemony formerly practiced, making the dance environment in Araraquara much more plural and complex. The main purpose is to contribute to the advancing of discussions concerning the binomial communication-culture in a political perspective, using the cultural policies to the dance as the focus of this deliberation / Quando operam no campo da cultura, os processos de comunicação demandam uma leitura política da sua atuação. Ações culturais promovem formas de comunicação entre as várias camadas das populações que compõem uma cidade, entre uma cidade e seu entorno, modificam a cidade, modificam o entorno e modificam a relação entre ambos. A natureza dessas ações é que traça o perfil daquilo que comunicam, daí a importância de cada uma delas. Justamente por isso, torna-se indispensável aprender a identificar cada ação cultural como um processo de comunicação com a sociedade na qual opera. Entendendo a política cultural para a dança realizada na cidade de Araraquara-SP, entre 2001-2008, como um processo de comunicação, a tese parte da hipótese de que o conjunto de ações culturais realizadas a diferenciou de outras cidades brasileiras de porte e situação geográfica semelhante e a conectou com um outro tipo de circuito. A dança é empregada como o recorte que explicita a hipótese. Os dois projetos aqui pesquisados, objetos de estudo da presente tese - a Escola Municipal de Dança Iracema Nogueira, fundada em 2002, e o Festival de Dança de Araraquara, criado em 2001-, nasceram a partir de entendimentos distintos dos até então hegemônicos na cidade. Sua implantação suscitou resistência e demandou estratégias de comunicação capazes de promover a sua adaptação à sociedade araraquarense. Para pesquisar as estratégias que operaram tal transformação, aqui se empregou a bibliografia das teorias da comunicação de viés político (BARBERO, MATTELART, SODRÉ), lidas à luz de NEGRI & HARDT, BAUMAN e VIRNO. Com esses autores foi possível desenvolver o argumento de que a consolidação de projetos como os dois acima descritos, ao envolverem a cidade de formas inusitadas e singulares, acabaram ganhando uma força que, possivelmente, assegurará a sua continuidade - afrontando a tradição brasileira de interrupção e descontinuidade de projetos culturais, mesmo os bem sucedidos, a cada eleição, quando se alteram os partidos no poder. Conhecer o histórico das formas de comunicação da dança em Araraquara nesse período permite avaliar com mais acuidade a transformação operada pelos dois projetos, que nasceram e se implantaram enfrentando e transformando os focos de resistência que podiam ser antevistos, uma vez que destituíam o conceito de dança que, até então, se praticava na cidade. Ao substituir os campeonatos ou concursos entre escolas particulares que aconteciam debaixo da nomenclatura Festival de Dança", por formas colaborativas entre profissionais da área, o Festival de Dança de Araraquara desarticulou a comunicação entre Araraquara e as cidades onde funcionam estes festivais competitivos e inscreveu-a em outro circuito, o dos festivais profissionais e não-competitivos. Evidentemente, essa ação feriu os interesses locais que uniam as escolas privadas da cidade e foram necessários alguns anos para que o ambiente se harmonizasse. A inauguração da Escola Municipal de Dança Iracema Nogueira, pautada por uma proposta de currículo inteiramente distinta do modelo praticado por essas mesmas escolas, abriu outra fissura na hegemonia anterior, tornando o ambiente da dança em Araraquara mais plural e complexo. O objetivo central é o de contribuir com o avanço das discussões a respeito do binômio comunicação-cultura dentro de uma perspectiva política, usando a política cultural para a dança como o foco dessa reflexão

nÃo hà / A dissertaÃÃo objetiva analisar o processo de participaÃÃo na reformulaÃÃo da Lei de Incentivo à Cultura - Lei Rouanet e elaboraÃÃo do projeto de Lei n 6722/2012, denominado Procultura. Para abordar essa questÃo, sÃo analisados os debates ocorridos em dois seminÃrios na CÃmara de Deputados, no perÃodo entre 2010 e 2012. Partindo do referencial teÃrico-metodolÃgico da AnÃlise de Discurso CrÃtica (ADC), delineada no modelo tridimensional de Norman Fairclough (2001), sÃo colocados em pauta as tensÃes e embates polÃticos na consolidaÃÃo de um novo mecanismo de incentivo à cultura no paÃs, entendendo esses discursos nÃo sà como texto e linguagem, mas no contexto das prÃticas sociais e das prÃticas discursivas. O estudo apresenta, inicialmente, uma abordagem da democracia e da participaÃÃo sob diferentes correntes democrÃticas, tais como democracia representativa, participativa, deliberativa e radical. SÃo discutidas tambÃm as relaÃÃes mantidas entre sociedade civil e Estado e levantados alguns limites na participaÃÃo da esfera civil. Para situar o debate no contexto nacional, o histÃrico de constituiÃÃo do modelo democrÃtico brasileiro à exposto, passando pelas instituiÃÃes participativas estabelecidas apÃs a ConstituiÃÃo de 1988, chegando atà o modo petista de governar, com destaque para os espaÃos de participaÃÃo oferecidos nos governos dos presidentes Lula e Dilma. Apresenta-se, ainda, uma contextualizaÃÃo em torno das polÃticas culturais, os reflexos da participaÃÃo na construÃÃo das polÃticas culturais e as ferramentas e espaÃos difundidos nos governos petistas para aproximar a esfera civil da definiÃÃo dessas polÃticas, com a realizaÃÃo de consultas pÃblicas, fÃruns e outros procedimentos que compÃem o atual cenÃrio democrÃtico. Por fim, o trabalho elabora um panorama dos debates pÃblicos referentes ao projeto de lei Procultura, que visa substituir a Lei em vigor hà mais de 20 anos no paÃs. AtravÃs do modelo tridimensional de ADC, sÃo levantadas algumas das vozes mais significativas presentes nos seminÃrios, bem como os efeitos do discurso. Contrapondo estes discursos ao que foi incorporado ao texto do projeto de lei pode-se perceber que, apesar da presenÃa de conflitos no debate e dos avanÃos no estabelecimento de um diÃlogo junto à sociedade, os espaÃos participativos para estruturaÃÃo das polÃticas culturais: a) nÃo sÃo suficientes para gerar decisÃo polÃtica; b) prevaleceram, no atual texto substitutivo, as demandas de um grupo majoritÃrio composto pelo tripà governo-empresa-parlamento, sem que fosse incorporada a principal reivindicaÃÃo da maioria dos representantes de segmentos artÃsticos, quanto à exclusÃo da faixa de 100% de renÃncia fiscal. Refletindo em torno Ãs perspectivas para o setor cultural, o trabalho aborda as interconexÃes entre as polÃticas culturais e a participaÃÃo civil, trazendo à tona o cenÃrio no qual se insere a democratizaÃÃo do acesso à cultura e seus desdobramentos sociais. / This paper aims to investigate the process of participation on the rewriting of the âLei de Incentivo à Cultura â Lei Rouanetâ (Law of Cultural Incentives) and the creation of the billl of Law n 6722/2012, called âProculturaâ. To address this issue, the debates that occurred in two seminars promoted by the House of Representatives, between 2010 and 2012 were analyzed Using the theoretical-methodological framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), outlined by the tridimensional model of Norman Fairclough (2001) as a starting point, the tensions and political struggle that happened during the consolidation of a new mechanism for cultural incentives in Brazil are placed at stake, understanding these discourses not only as text and language, but also in the context of social and discursive practices. The study shows, initially, an approach to democracy and participation from different democratic traditions, such as representative, participative, deliberative and radical democracies. The study also reasons about the relations between civil society and the State, highlighting some limits of participation from the civil realm. To situate the debate in the national context, the history of the constitution of the Brazilian democratic model is exposed, from the participative institutions created after the Constitution of 1988 to the âpetistaâ way of ruling (from the PT party), with special notice to the places of participation offered by the governments of Lula and Dilma. It is also shown that, a contextualization around cultural policies, the consequences of participation in the construction of cultural policies and the tools and spaces disseminated in the âpetistasâ governments to approach the civil sphere of policy-making, with public consultations, forums and other procedures that make up the current democratic context. Finally, the work draws an overview of the public debate regarding the PROCULTURA bill, which seeks to replace the law in place for more than 20 years in the country. Through the three-dimensional model of CDA, some of the most significant voices present in seminars as well as effects of discourse are raised. Opposed to these discourses which was incorporated into the text of the bill can be realized that, despite the presence of conflict in the debate and the progress made in establishing a dialogue with society, participatory spaces for the structuring of cultural policies: a) are not sufficient to generate policy-making b) prevailed in the existing text substitute, the demands of a majority group composed of the tripod government-company-parliament, without being incorporated into the main claim of most representatives of artistic segments, to the exclusion of the range 100% tax waiver. Reflecting about the prospects for the cultural sector, the paper addresses the interconnections between cultural policies and citizen participation, bringing up the scenario which incorporates the democratization of access to culture and its social consequences.

La présente thèse porte sur la mise en place des nouvelles manifestations festives en France, et plus particulièrement à Paris, depuis les années 80. Ces fêtes marquent un déplacement par rapport aux fêtes « traditionnelles » qui étaient en grande partie organisées autour des concepts de sacré et de nation. Nourri par une observation ethnographique de plusieurs années, ce travail met en évidence une multiplicité de facettes des fêtes nouvelles: les processus de conceptualisation et de création par les autorités publiques ; leur gestion et mise en œuvre par des managers culturels ou par des associations et des collectifs ; l’invention de nouvelles formes rituelles ou l’adaptation de plus anciennes ; les mises en scène urbaines et l’emploi des codes distinctifs ; l’appropriation de ces fêtes par la société et les différents débats qu’elles ont soulevés. Chacune des trois parties de la thèse est consacrée à une fête. Une place majeure est réservée à la Fête de la musique, la Marche des fiertés et la Nuit blanche, sans pour autant passer sous silence d’autres fêtes résolument nouvelles et d’envergure, telles que la Capitale européenne de la culture et les Allumées de Nantes, permettant de mieux saisir les mutations qui s’opèrent au niveau européen. Enfin, s’appuyant sur la thèse classique de Durkheim, ce travail propose d’envisager ces fêtes comme points d’entrée pour appréhender les idéaux de la société ouverte. L’intention affirmée des organisateurs de mettre en place une nouvelle conception du vivre ensemble et du lien social, est à bien des égards l’occasion de célébrer une société française et européenne, pacifique, réconciliée et tolérante. / The present thesis examines the installation of new festive events in France, and more particularly in Paris, since the 80s. These celebrations mark a shift in regard to "traditional" celebrations which mostly revolve around the concepts of the sacred and the nation. Nourished by an ethnographic observation of several years, this work highlights a variety of aspects: the process of their invention and their creation and by the public authorities; the supervision of the events by cultural managers or associations and collectives; the invention of new ritual forms and the adaptation of older ones; the design of the urban scenery and the use of distinctive codes; the appropriation of these events fro, the society and the various debates to which they gave rise. Each part of the thesis deals with a celebration in an independent way. The Fête de la musique, the Gay Pride and the Nuit blanche are analyzed here in priority. However, next to them parade also other events, entirely new and ambitious, such as the European Capital of Culture and the Allumées of Nantes which offer a better insight into changes that took place on a European level. Finally, based on Durkheim's classic thesis, this work proposes to consider these festive events as an entry point into a greater inquiry about the ideals of the open society. The asserted intention of the organizers to put in place a new conception of living together and the social bond is in many ways the occasion to celebrate a French and European society, that is peaceful, reconciled and tolerant.

En 2010, le bilan sur les objectifs du millénaire pour le développement (OMD) a révélé que l’ensemble des pays ainsi que les différents acteurs impliqués dans ce processus devaient redoubler leurs efforts afin de mettre en place des projets adaptés à la nature des diverses sociétés. À cet effet, la question de la « culture » s’est imposée comme un facteur évident et inhérent à l’accomplissement de ces objectifs. C’est dans ce cadre que se pose notre problématique de recherche à travers une zone géostratégique qui subit de grands bouleversements au niveau politique, économique et social. De cette manière, la culture peut-elle constituer un élément de base dans les programmes de développement entrepris dans les États arabes ? Cette présente thèse s’achemine à travers trois principales étapes. D’abord l’intégration de la culture dans ce processus en tant que secteur à part entière. Ensuite, les moyens et les méthodes utilisés par les différents acteurs engagés et concernés par le domaine de la culture dans les pays arabes. Enfin, les indicateurs spécifiques à la région à travers lesquels apparaissent les limites, mais également le potentiel des États arabes. Pour finir, cette démarche fait office de défrichement, car le développement à travers le secteur culturel reste peu exploité dans le monde arabe. Toutefois, les changements qui s’opèrent depuis quelques années dans la région peuvent conduire à une véritable reconsidération du secteur culturel et de sa relation avec le processus de développement. / In 2010, the appraisal of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) indicated that all the countries and the different actors involved in this process should underlay their efforts to implement projects adapted to the nature of the various societies. To this end, the issue of "culture" has emerged as an obvious and inherent factor in achieving these goals.Our research issue raises in this context through a geostrategic area which undergoes great changes in the political, economic and social level. Thus, can the culture constitute a basic element in the development programs undertaken in the Arab States? The present thesis is developed through three main stages. First, the integration of culture in this process as a real sector. Then, the means and methods used by the different actors involved and concerned with the field of culture in the Arab countries. Finally, specific indicators related to the region which could show the limits, but also the potential of Arab States.This approach acts as clearing, insofar as the development through cultural sector remains largely untapped in the Arab world. However, the changes occurring in recent years in the region can lead to a genuine reconsideration of the cultural sector and its relationship with the development process.
