Abstract
The methodological approach we take here is therefore a qualitative one which aims, through a series of in-depth interviews, to capture the narrative accounts of the protagonists involved in developing the survey who both describe their impression of the process of its development from their experience at the time and reflect on the ways in which Taking Part met or failed to meet its original objectives a decade later. Through this approach we are able to expose and unpack the broader narrative of the participation survey itself, which we counterpose to the official presentation of Taking Part as an objective or neutral technocratic device. We draw on critical literature from cultural policy studies, cultural sociology and actor network theory in order to reveal the complex social and political life of Taking Part and its emergence as the expression of a particular administrative culture.
