Surgida en Europa y con un amplio desarrollo en países como Canadá, la mediación cultural adquiere su estatuto y su función en los grandes establecimientos culturales del mundo. Una definición muy extendida en el espacio europeo la entiende como un “conjunto de acciones que apuntan, a través de un intermediario (el mediador, que puede ser un profesional, un artista, un animador o un par), a vincular a un individuo o a un grupo con una propuesta cultural o artística (una obra de arte original, una exposición, un concierto, un espectáculo, etc.) con el objetivo de favorecer su aprehensión, conocimiento y apreciación” (Aboudrar y Mairesse 2018, 15). Se trata de una definición pensada en torno a procesos insertos en ámbitos tradicionales de la cultura, como los museos y las grandes instituciones culturales.
This Diploma program takes the premise that many actions and projects could fit the definition of cultural mediation, but that we generally know them under different concepts, depending on the country and academic or intellectual traditions. For example, in our region, the model of the cultural or sociocultural facilitator or the cultural promoter is widespread at different times and with different approaches. Even within the very idea of university outreach or engagement, we could find multiple projects that would fit some ideas of cultural mediation. A common element in all these actions is the idea of connection; that is, thinking of these actions as a way of forging bonds with others, based on cultural and artistic productions, to produce new meanings, deconstruct existing ones, and enable new ways of living in community.
Partimos entonces de considerar la mediación cultural como una práctica y como una disciplina incipiente que todavía no ha conformado un campo de problemas que podamos reconocer de forma delimitada, a excepción de lo que ocurre en el caso francés y de algunas experiencias canadienses. Si bien recientemente en Latinoamérica, por ejemplo en Chile (Peters 2019), se han desarrollado algunos aspectos sobre el tema, no es posible aún plantearlo desde una concepción internacional.
Given this scenario, the need arose to initiate a process of systematizing the diverse trajectories associated with cultural mediation in the region, while simultaneously developing specific training that brings together the knowledge that forms a conceptual framework unique to these latitudes. Therefore, in 2019, the National University of the Arts (UNA) of Argentina launched an initial training program for cultural mediators, which served as the starting point for the implementation of this online Diploma in 2020, in conjunction with the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO). This program facilitates dialogue between trainees and cultural producers in Latin America and the Caribbean.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
● Promote professionalization and improvement strategies that elevate the role of the mediator in the field of arts and cultures.
● To address various theoretical and practical aspects that enable the design, management, execution, coordination and supervision of the different aspects involved in cultural mediation.
The Higher Diploma in Cultural Mediation: Community, Arts and Technologies is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students; teachers at all levels; activists and members of trade unions, social movements and political parties; public officials; members and managers of non-governmental organizations and professionals interested in the subject.
