Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
The three-day conference aims to investigate how television programmes in their multiplicity approached issues like medical progress and its limits, healthy behaviour or new forms of exercise by adapting them to TV formats and programming...The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats expressed and staged bodies, health and fitness from local, regional, national and international perspectives. How spectators were invited not only to be TV consuming audiences, but how shows and TV set-ups integrated and sometimes pretended to transform the viewer into a participant of the show. TV programmes spread the conviction that subjects had the ability to shape their own body.

Victorians like us – Domesticity and worldliness
Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”
From novels to government reports, the Victorians attached unprecedented significance to domesticity. The household was a central institution, and their occupants played out their different roles according to custom and circumstance. Within its sphere, gender, class, economic and political conflicts were played out as the household provided the background for important social practices. These practices ranged from the kitchen to the parlour, from the street to the Houses of Parliament, from the colonial metropole to the British colonial outposts in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Call for papers - Urban studies

Digital platform-based employment and jobs
A number of digital platforms (Airbnb, Deliveroo, Uber, etc.) have expanded in recent years by presenting themselves as new types of intermediaries linking end users and the suppliers of labour. The success of these new kinds of companies has intrigued the press, causing polarised debates between advocates of “the sharing economy” and critics of how “uber-isation” damages work and employment. Some of these new economic actors have become multinational enterprises within a very short period of time, generating colossal revenues, whereupon they become quickly and widely lauded as the harbingers of a new digital economy. Yet behind this supposedly innovative business model, one particularity characterising this new type of economic transaction is the fact that the suppliers or labour are often private individuals who neither earn wages nor qualify as bona fide professionals. The correct way of viewing them is as the owners of the means of labour (i.e. labour force) that they - acting in their capacity as independent contractors - either sell directly to consumers or else to other intermediaries.

The lexicalisation of commercial onomastics. Creation, diffusion and integration
Ce colloque se propose de s’interroger sur les processus de lexicalisation des noms de marque et de produit, sur leurs motivations, ainsi que sur la complexité de leur encadrement sémantique. Dans cette perspective, il entend proposer une réflexion sur la morphologie et sur la sémantique des noms de marques et de produit en tenant compte du système morphosémantique de la langue française, forcément en relation avec d’autres langues, tout aussi bien que d’autres éléments structuraux préexistants.

When the film industry asks questions of its audience
GREPs second study day
Si les enquêtes menées par l’industrie du cinéma auprès de ses publics sont des pratiques anciennes et représentent des enjeux de recherche majeurs, elles sont demeurées assez peu investies par le monde universitaire. Cette journée d’étude, qui tâche de tisser un lien entre professionnels et chercheurs, propose de mettre ces sources à l’honneur en questionnant les multiples façons dont l’industrie du cinéma cherche à connaître et comprendre ses publics.

Investigations into money and consumption in the 20th century
L'objectif de cette journée d'études est de rassembler des chercheuses et chercheurs étudiant des enquêtes portant sur les modes de vie, le rapport à l’argent et les pratiques de consommation. Nous privilégions de nouveaux travaux revisitant des enquêtes diverses, menées dans un cadre universitaire ou non. Il s’agit de nous interroger d’une part sur l’histoire précise de pratiques d’enquêtes – et des discours normatifs qui peuvent les accompagner – et sur les éléments qu’ils permettent de mettre au jour sur les pratiques quotidiennes de consommation. Le dialogue entre historiens et autres chercheurs en sciences sociales sera privilégié.

Food at the heart of nineteenth-century art
This symposium intends to study the various and complex relations between food, the experience of eating, and nineteenth-century art. For this conference, we welcome papers that discuss how the development of the food industry and the changing notion of “taste” and social mores are reflected in nineteenth-century art in the broadest sense. Papers may concern visual arts including graphic arts in the form of illustrated advertisements and culinary literature, as well as nouveautés (objects which were designed to reflect the evolution of eating and table manners).

The notion of “low-costing” - which can refer to a production process or finished product – is difficult to define. The term is also applied in a geographic sense, referring to the cheapness of a country’s workforce. This semantic confusion is one of the reasons it is worth focusing on the construct and analysing its growing importance, notably in the Western world.

Consuming differently; the history, meaning and practical logic
Terrains et travaux journal
Un certain nombre de pratiques, en expansion aujourd’hui, visent à contourner ou contester les circuits économiques traditionnels pour l’acquisition et l’usage de biens et de services. Qu’elles remettent en question la logique maximisatrice du consommateur en promouvant d’autres valeurs éthiques ou écologiques, qu’elles requalifient symboliquement ou distinctivement d’anciennes pratiques (faire du vélo, jardiner) ou qu’elles se situent aux marges des comportements caractéristiques de la société de consommation, ces pratiques ont un statut qui reste encore mal documenté. Ce dossier vise à réunir des contributions empiriques éclairant les logiques économiques, sociales et politiques des pratiques de consommation alternatives, actuelles et passées.
