  B-movies and their exploitation. What options?

  Places and objects of worship in the digital context

  Dans le prolongement de la table ronde « Situation du cinéma de genre en France », organisée l’an passé dans le cadre de la Semaine des arts et médias, cette nouvelle manifestation interrogera les relations d’attachements des publics du cinéma « bis » aux objets et aux lieux de médiation de cet univers cinéphilique, dans un contexte de dématérialisation. Ainsi, seront autant questionnés les usages spectatoriels numériques que les mutations du secteur qu’ils entraînent.

  The "gamification" of society

  Towards a Game-ist regime

  Ce colloque consacré à la « gamification » de la société  – entendue comme la transposition des éléments de la structure de jeu dans des contextes autres que de jeu – propose de réunir les chercheurs travaillant sur la « gamification » dans différents domaines : santé, éducation, citoyenneté, travail, relations sociales, pratiques de scoring appliquées aux individus (corps, sociabilité…) et à leurs pratiques (on pensera notamment aux pratiques numériques), ces domaines ne se voulant pas exhaustifs. L'enjeu consistera à éviter les pièges de la segmentation en questionnant le sens social de la « gamification » et de la banalisation de mises en forme de jeu pour des pratiques non ludiques.

  Creating the child audience: media and the invention of modern American childhood in the late XIXth and XIXth centuries

  "Transatlantica" special issue

  This Transatlantica issue sets out to examine how, in the process of creating new audiences for its products, child-centric media crafted a homogenizing vision of childhood especially compatible with media consumption. As a result, in the course of the late XIX^th and XX^th centuries, media has made itself the vehicle of adult norms and expectations about children’s tastes, behaviors and development – be it to pander to existing tastes and behaviors or shape them to ideal standards, some civic-minded (with emphasis on social adjustment, character building, or good citizenship), some commercial, and others both at once.

  The materiality and spatiality of death, burial and commemoration

  Special issue in the Journal “Mortality”

  The interdisciplinary journal Mortality calls for submissions from all disciplines to reflect on the materiality and spatiality of death, burial and commemoration: Death, dying and burial produce artefacts and occur in spatial contexts. The interplay between such materiality, spatiality and the bereaved who commemorate the dead yields interpretations and creates meanings that can change over time. In this special issue we want to publish papers that explore this interplay by going beyond the consideration of simple grave artefacts on the one hand and graveyards as a space on the other hand, to examine the specific interrelationships between materiality, spatiality, the living and the dead.
