Abstract

the issues raised by the vicissitudes of French cultural policy shaped the development of his reflection on the forms of contemporary cultural practice. Indeed, the circumstances under which his writings in this area were produced indicate that his reflection was, to some extent, generated by this engagement. Having established his reputation as a cultural analyst with the publication in  of La prise de parole, Certeau was asked to write a preparatory report and an introductory presentation for a colloquium on the future of cultural development held at Arc-et-Senans in April .1 The work for this colloquium, organized by French and European governmental bodies in order to help generate strategies for cultural development, constituted ‘‘a decisive stage in the crystallization of his reflection on cultural practices.’’ 2 The very problems thrown up at this colloquium—in particular the hazily conceived but insistently felt rift between official cultural policy and most people’s cultural experience—provided the impetus for further elucidation. Hence Augustin Girard, present at the colloquium and head of the research departThe South Atlantic Quarterly :, Spring . Copyright ©  by Duke University Press.
