OBSERVER LES EXPÉRIENCES DE VISITES CULTURELLES LIBRES. ELÉMENTS POUR UNE APPROCHE DES INTERACTIONS SUJETS/OBJETS
OBSERVING THE EXPERIENCES OF SELF-GUIDED CULTURAL TOURS. ELEMENTS FOR AN APPROACH TO SUBJECT/OBJECT INTERACTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The experience of visits in cultural places has been a source of fruitful questioning for more than a century. Alongside the professional practices and the scenographic devices themselves, it is a question of capturing and documenting the behavior and experience of visitors, in particular in their forms that are both the most common and the most complex: in a situation of co- free tour. The phenomena observed are heterogeneous and constitute a web of determinations, impressions, behaviors that are difficult to circumscribe and which are often latent. After having presented the experience of the visitor in co-visit (1), the present work proposes an approach articulating the observation of behaviors between humans and their relationship to exhibits and exhibition objects in contexts characterized by a scenographic device (2). Thus, a model emerges that articulates (i) situation and context of visit, (ii) transactions and human relations and (iii) cultural objects and tools. At their intersections are questioned the scenographic productions, the 52coordination of actions and the phenomena of affordance and guidance. An example of an instrumented device for observing these interactions, from the Scenoscope research project, is then presented, which the work of Illanes and Vena, published in this volume, will detail.
