Institutional Repositories for Creative and Applied Arts Research: The Kultur Project
Get PDFDigital repositories are playing an increasingly significant role within Higher Education Institutions as a means of managing and promoting research activity. However, there remain substantial disciplinary differences in take up, and the research activity of the visual and applied arts community is notably under-represented. There are both technical and cultural reasons for this absence. Perhaps most obviously, institutional repositories have traditionally been tailored towards text-based outputs, and so have been less proficient at accommodating the more complex multimedia outputs associated with practice-led research. In addition, the specific working practices of arts researchers and their mediation between academic and professional art worlds tends to influence IPR needs and attitudes towards Open Access. Such factors all need to be engaged with in order to develop an effective model of an arts repository that is useful to this sector.
This article will outline the work done by the JISC-funded Kultur project to address these needs. Kultur is a collaboration between the University of Southampton, the University of the Arts London, University for the Creative Arts and VADS, and has been funded as part of JISC’s 2007-2009 Repositories and Preservation Programme. In establishing two new IRs for UAL and UCA, and enhancing Southampton’s existing repository, the project has produced a transferable model of a multimedia repository for arts-based research outputs. The project approach has been strongly user-driven, and the article summarises how enhancements to eprints software have been shaped by the findings of an extensive user analysis. This comprised an online survey of target users, one-to-one follow-up interviews with researchers, and usability tests of the Kultur demonstrator repository. On the policy side, the article also describes the processes of developing an appropriate metadata schema, IPR policy, and institutional policies for embedding the repository. Finally, the article will consider future development, and the scope for building on the findings of the Kultur project for the benefit of the wider arts community
»älter - bunter - weniger«
Get PDFKunst und Kultur müssen sich den demografischen Veränderungen stellen. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Wechselverhältnis blieb bislang aber aus. Welche Auswirkungen haben die Veränderungen auf die kulturelle Infrastruktur und die Kulturfinanzierung? Welche Chancen tun sich auf, wo liegen die Risiken? Welche Rolle spielt die Kultur selbst im Prozess der demografischen Entwicklung? Der Band bündelt erstmals die Sichtweisen von Akteuren aus Kultur, Politik und Wissenschaft zu diesen Fragen und präsentiert Erkenntnisse im internationalen Vergleich. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Michael Bommes, Francois Héran, Martin Roth, Ralf E. Ulrich
KULTUR: showcasing art through institutional repositories
Get PDFShowcasing work has always been at the heart of the arts community, whether it be through an exhibition, site-specific installation or performance. Representation of the original work has also been important and use of print-based options like exhibition catalogues is now complemented by websites and multi-media friendly services like Flickr and YouTube and Vimeo. These services also provide options for sharing born-digital material. For those working in higher education there is a need to profile both the personal and the institutional aspects of creative outputs. The KULTUR project created a model for arts-based institutional repositories and it is hoped that this approach will be useful for other arts institutions
Hybride Identitäten
Get PDF»Alles, was aus dem Ausland kommt, ist gut. Das Eigene nicht.« Diese Auffassung resümiert die Erfahrungen einer Gruppe junger Erwachsener aus einem deutsch-chilenischen Raum in Chile. Es handelt sich dabei um Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund, also Angehörige einer kulturellen Minderheit, die aber im lateinamerikanischen Kontext aufgrund ihrer Beziehung zu Europa nicht marginalisiert werden, sondern vielmehr eine positive Diskriminierung erfahren. Dies verändert die Diskussion über hybride Identitäten und kulturelle Zwischenräume und ermöglicht einen erweiterten Blick auf Migration, Kultur und Identität
