Title
Políticas culturais e suas incidências [Cultural policies and their incidences]
Abstract: Combining two lines of approach - to the cultural field and the cultural policies which act on it - some reflections are developed around specific axes of incidence of the aforementioned policies. Four axes are privileged: qualification of cultural supply; promotion of artistic creation; financing and regulation of the market; expansion of participation in cultural life. From the results of diverse OAC research projects on culture in Portugal in the last decade, aspects of change or of resilience relative to each of these four axes are highlighted.

Title
Livreiro, motor da edição [The Bookseller, impelling force of book publishing]
Abstract: This is a proposal for a change in the way of looking at the old model of the book chain, overly centred on the production aspect, to a new model of partnerships involving producers and distributors. This model is particularly important in a framework where the field of circulation is presented as that where the future of the book will be decided. The figure of the bookseller, lacking professional identity and not even being mentioned in INE’s National Classification of Professions, appears in this text as the main character, being reappraised in his capacity as mediator between the publisher, the author and the reader, far more than being a mere seller of books.

Actores e contratos de trabalho nos grupos de teatro portugueses: notas para a sociologia de um mercado artístico [Actors and labour contracts in Portuguese theatre groups: notes for the sociology of an artistic market]
Abstract: The article describes the new contractual labour relations for actors in Portuguese theatre groups. Being partially based on the results of a survey carried out on a hundred theatre groups, it examines how the current models for management of actors in the groups engender a professional identity firmly built around artistic cooperation of short duration, individualisation of professional trajectories and relationships of inter-knowledge.

Sobre o sistema de mercado de arte em Portugal e seus agentes [On the system of the arts market in Portugal and its agents]
Abstract: In this article, the author reviews and updates a talk he gave at a General Meeting of the Portuguese Association of Art Galleries (APGA), advancing criteria for a categorisation of the galleries and for a model of relationships between the structuring agents of what he designates as two complementary systems (the Arts Market System and the Arts Institutional System). In the framework of the recent changes of the arts market, he proposes, on the one hand, action axes for a sustained cultural policy and, on the other hand, lines for the drawing up of a "code of conduct" to be taken up by APGA. In an attachment to the article, there is a short history of the LUIS SERPA Projectos Gallery, produced recently when this celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Title
O Festival de Música da Casa de Mateus. Caracterização do público e não-público [Casa de Mateus Music Festival: Characterization of audiences and non-audiences]
Abstract: Nowadays, any organisation must have up-to-date information on those who make up its audience (current customers) and also on those who make up the non-spectators, as a potential audience. This article conjugates these two elements for the case of the Casa de Mateus Music Festival. In other words, it characterises the public at the festival as to their form of participation, their sources of information, their opinion on the effectiveness of the means of publication used, their motivations for participation, intentions for future participation, as well as to their demographic and socio-economic profile. It also analyses the behaviour of non-spectators in terms of their perceptions, habits, motivations, attitudes and behaviour relative to the festival, as well as their demographic and socio-economic profile. The study suggests some practical implications in management to be taken into account by the festival organisers with a view to the definition of action strategies in the market which are adequate to the profile of each segment.

Como financia o Estado as actividades culturais? [How does the State finance cultural activities?]
Abstract: Taking the view that it is not the question of public financing of cultural activities but rather the different forms of this intervention that it is important to discuss, the author presents a systematic set of problems, analysed through various series of key questions and with a complex list of possible replies. This debate for an understanding of the complex system of state financing of culture is based on three major questions: the main areas of State intervention and respective means of intervention; the reasons for differentiation of public financing; the means, methods and criteria for financing.
