| Abstract | |
Analyzing three unities of SESC-São Paulo (Pinheiros, Pompéia and Itaquera) as a case-study, this study aims to understand whether and how this institution enlarges and diversifies the set of cultural practices of its users. The goal is to outline the characteristics and dynamics involving the so-called mediation process, through which the institution approaches a diversity of cultural products and its potential audiences. The author, therefore, relies on a concept of cultural practice as a mutually-constructed relation: on the one hand, it is influenced by the social and educational conditions of the individual and, on the other hand, by values and policies held by the institution (in this case, SESC-São Paulo). This research intends to collaborate both with sociological field of cultural practices and audiences and with the improvement of public or private organizations engagement in promoting access to culture, formation of audiences and education through cultural activities.
