文化政策的特性依赖于“适当的研究”和政策倡导之间长期存在的、被广泛接受的紧张关系，这往往导致人们抵制这样一种观点，即强有力的、批判性的研究可以--甚至应该--“有用”并对政策话语产生影响。本文试图通过第三条路线，将政策相关性和影响力视为批判性研究的合法目标，而不接受艺术倡导和游说的压力和限制。这是通过探索“进入真实的世界”的旅程来实现的，这些初步发现来自理解日常参与项目：基于参与数据的细分练习，该数据显示，最富有，受过良好教育和种族多样性最少的8%的英国人口是最参与文化的。这些数据被纳入沃里克文化价值未来委员会的咨询和证据收集过程，并最终被引用到其最终报告《丰富英国》中。该文件图表的日益突出的“8%”的统计在英语文化政策的辩论，并认为，尽管研究人员的使用/滥用他们的数据的控制有限，政策的影响力仍然是一个现实的目标，如果理解为“概念的影响力”。
The very identity of cultural policy rests on a long-standing and widely accepted tension between “proper research” and policy advocacy, which has often resulted in resistance to the idea that robust, critical research can – or even should – be “useful” and have impact on policy discourse. This paper tries to navigate a third route, which sees policy relevance and influence as a legitimate goal of critical research, without accepting the pressures and restrictions of arts advocacy and lobbying. This is accomplished by exploring the journey “into the real world” of preliminary findings emerging from the Understanding Everyday Participation project: a segmentation exercise based on Taking Part data which showed that the wealthiest, better educated and least ethnically diverse 8% of the English population are the most engaged in culture. This data fed into the consultation and evidence gathering process of the Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Value, and was eventually cited in its final reportEnriching Britain. The paper charts the increasing prominence of “the 8%” statistic in English cultural policy debates and argues that, despite the researchers' limited control over the use/misuse of their data, policy influence is nonetheless a realistic objective if understood as “conceptual influence”.
