  From « Traditional » Games to Digital Games

  Since the early 2000’s, the importance of studying digital games has increased to take a significant place in the academic literature dedicated to entertaining phenomena, to such a point that many articles offering to make an inventory of current “game studies” primarily focus on work related to games on this media. In this context, we cannot ignore the fact that work aimed at conceiving and studying digital games is also regularly referred to as reflections on (non-digital) “traditional” games, whether to build their theoretical framework, or to conduct comparative and contrastive studies. According to us, this kind of mutual lighting encourages researchers to examine the peculiarities and complementarities of the two areas, as well as the theoretical interest of connecting or of confronting them. Therefore, in order to analyse the relations established between “traditional” games and digital games, this call is divided into five themes that give a broad overview of the different kinds of possible links. All types of research, fundamental or applied, as well as disciplinary approaches are welcome.

  Communication in the tourist sector: strategies for all participants in the areas of tourism

  International conference

  Although the tourism communication concept is still to be defined precisely, this international conference aims at exploring the relationships between communication strategies for those who are involved in the tourism industry and tourists. A further complication is that lots of areas are more and more very proposed with a particular identifying emblem. Communication in the tourist industry today is diverse and, from a tourist’s point of view, very confusing. The Conference aims to provide a critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries: Communication research, Geography, Cultural Studies, History, Sociology and Tourism Studies. We’d like to investigate in particular the areas and the actions of communication in the tourist sector.

  Sport and the sixties

  16 crossroads of the history of sport

  Il est aujourd'hui admis que mai 68 n'est pas seulement un moment fondateur mais le point d’orgue de mutations engagées dès le début des années 60 par la « génération du baby-boom ». La « culture jeune » devient rapidement une culture de masse, à une époque où l’accès aux études universitaires demeure réservé aux fils et aux filles des groupes sociaux dominants. La culture sportive est rarement présentée comme une caractéristique majeure de cette nouvelle génération. Pourtant, elle connaît un développement sans précédent sous l’effet de la politique scolaire et sociale menée par Maurice Herzog et sous l'effet de la mutation des loisirs et du temps libre. Les XVI^e carrefours d’histoire du sport questionneront les apports de la génération du baby-boom sur le développement des sports et envisageront dans quelle mesure les mutations socio-culturelles des « sixties » concernent aussi le phénomène sportif.
