The rules and structures of participation

Payton, Victoria Louise (2011) The rules and structures of participation. MPhil(R) thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

Through critically informed practical research, this thesis explores modes of participation that it is possible to support and enhance in public participative events. Using a series of lab experiments, to tease out strands of influence to participation, it examines how these affect both participation and a sense of participation for the individual participant. Using these experiments as a basis for a further meta‑work, it then examines what these structures and rules may mean for the creation of future participative works and further study of the participant experience.
