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.

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.

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.
