La Vidéo Participative : essai de cadrage du concept
Abstract
Among the tools available to projects managers and designers, the video has regained a certain credibility regarding the support that it may bring to the various communicational processes required to carry out a successful project. In this context, video is now increasingly used in a participative way in accordance with the recent evolution of the methods, principles and theoretical frameworks of the North-South cooperation field. Nevertheless, the concept of “participatory video” is still handled with little accuracy. Thereby, this article aims at defining it precisely, explaining its origins and proposing a typology of the various models, criteria and approaches that can be used to characterize it properly.
