The cross-use of network and geometric data analyses helps understand how the circulation of symbolic goods is structured. It follows specific logic, intersecting economic and symbolic planes in shaping spaces that do not entirely align with political borders. Both help map circulation spaces and understand their operational logic, aiming to visualize the proximities and/or distances between different places/actors in the production of these symbolic goods. Accordingly, based on several datasets collected to analyze the dynamics that structure contemporary French-speaking Swiss theater production circulation, this article aims to constitute a practical case on the combined use of Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Geometric Data Analysis (GDA) in mapping cultural spaces in a cross-fertilization perspective. The implementation of a mixed SNA and GDA analytical approach reveals distinct clusters of venues based on linguistic boundaries, size, cultural legitimacy, and audience reach. It identifies an "intermediate" subspace, between avant-garde and commercial productions. The study highlights methodological advantages in integrating SNA and GDA for developing a nuanced view on cultural dynamics, especially in understanding the career landscape of "ordinary" artists who navigate between artistic autonomy and market demands.

在文化空间映射中使用网络和几何数据分析的案例：当代瑞士法语戏剧作品的插图

网络和几何数据分析的交叉使用有助于理解象征性商品的流通结构。它遵循特定的逻辑，在塑造不完全符合政治边界的空间时，将经济和象征层面相交。两者都有助于绘制流通空间并理解其作逻辑，旨在可视化这些象征性商品生产中不同地点/参与者之间的接近和/或距离。因此，基于为分析构建当代法语瑞士剧院制作流通的动态而收集的几个数据集，本文旨在构建一个关于社交网络分析 （SNA） 和几何数据分析 （GDA） 在交叉融合角度绘制文化空间中结合使用的实际案例。SNA 和 GDA 混合分析方法的实施揭示了基于语言边界、规模、文化合法性和受众范围的不同场所集群。它确定了介于前卫和商业作品之间的“中间”子空间。该研究强调了整合 SNA 和 GDA 以形成对文化动态的细致入微的看法的方法论优势，尤其是在理解在艺术自主性和市场需求之间游走的“普通”艺术家的职业前景方面。
