The analysis of the cultural consumption diaries within the SRP project CERS has been completed!

This summer, Līga Vinogradova and Lote Katrīna Cērpa from the Institute of Arts and Cultural Studies concluded the analysis of cultural consumption diaries carried out as part of the SRP project CERS. At the end of last year, participants from across Latvia were sought who would be willing to keep a cultural consumption diary—including digital activities—for one month. Given the time-consuming nature of this task and its long-term collaborative format, the researchers are delighted with the engagement and interest this project has sparked! In total, 20 cultural consumption diaries and 20 in-depth interviews conducted after diary completion were analyzed.
