ResumenEl presente artículo sugiere un deslinde teórico de las nociones desarrollo local y desarrollo comunitario aplicadas al campo cultural. El objetivo es generar una reflexión en torno a la dimensión comunitaria del desarrollo cultural y las implicaciones que para ello tiene la participación en la gestión de los procesos culturales. Desde ese marco teórico se toman casos de estudio ilustrativos en España, Venezuela y Cuba. De esta manera se trata de plantear como solo a través de prácticas de gestión participativa de la cultura donde la comunidad sea tomada como componente esencial se da cumplimiento a la noción de democracia cultural. Palabras clave: Local, Comunitario, Participación, Estudio de casos AbstractThis article suggests a theoretical differentiation of the issues of local development and community development applied to culture. The objective is to generate a reflexion on the community character of cultural development and the implications that participation in the management in cultural processes has in it. From this theoretical framework key cases are taken from Spain, Venezuela and Cuba. Thus it is proposed that only through participative management of culture and taking the community as main component the notion of cultural democracy is done.

Purpose The existence of so-called non-participants is a cultural policy problem in the UK and beyond. Yet, the very notion of a cultural non-participant seems nonsensical against the palpable evidence of lived experience. The purpose of this paper is to understand “who” a cultural non-participant is by first comprehending “what” the cultural non-participant is and why it exists. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on primary data generated in the form of 40 in-depth qualitative interviews, this paper employs a discursive methodology to explore the critical logics (Howarth, 2010) that underlie the problem representation (Bacchi, 2009) of cultural non-participation and in particular the discursive subject identity of the cultural non-participant. Findings Beginning with a discussion about how cultural non-participants are represented as socially deprived and hard to reach, the paper moves on to highlight how they are also presumed to lack knowledge and understanding about what they are rejecting. Their supposed flawed subjectivity is then contrasted with the desirable model of agency claimed by the cultural professionals who seek to change the cultural participation patterns of others. The paper concludes with a consideration of how the existence of the cultural non-participant subject identity limits the extent to which those labelled as such can meaningfully contribute to the field of cultural policy and obscures the extent to which such individuals are culturally disenfranchised. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen research approach and the geographical limitations to the data generation, the research makes no claim to generalisability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the discursive logics identified at alternative discursive sites. Practical implications This paper proposes a change in the language used by cultural professionals accompanied by changes in practice that abandoning the identity of the cultural non-participant would demand. Originality/value This paper challenges a taken for granted assumption that cultural non-participants exist “in the real”.

Performance analysis is extensively used in sport, but its pedagogical application is little understood. Given its expanding role across football, this study explored the experiences of neophyte performance analysts. Experiences of six analysis interns, across three professional football clubs, were investigated as multiple cases of new match analysis. Each intern was interviewed after their first season, with archival data providing background information. Four themes emerged from qualitative analysis: (1) "building of relationships" was important, along with trust and role clarity; (2) "establishing an analysis system" was difficult due to tacit coach knowledge, but analysis was established; (3) the quality of the "feedback process" hinged on coaching styles, with balance of feedback and athlete engagement considered essential; (4) "establishing effect" was complex with no statistical effects reported; yet enhanced relationships, role clarity, and improved performances were reported. Other emic accounts are required to further understand occupational culture within performance analysis.
