Actors or instruments of the construction of a sense of community, ethnic and national belonging?
The International Conference offers to facilitate a discussion about the role of media in the construction of political identities. Media have always played the role of actors, sometimes of instruments, in the process of shaping community, ethnic and national identities as well as in shaping "imagined communities" usually induced by political actors in particular historical developments. Media discourse on the community, the ethnic group or the nation is never autonomous. It can be considered a collective production pertaining to one or another network of actors. In order to understand this process, it is important to place the content of the media in its production context. What is the role of the journalists and the media in the creation, renewal and maintenance of community, ethnic or national identities?

Communication, geo-sciences, floods and earthquakes
Le projet CoGIS (communication, géosciences, inondations, séismes) s'est donné un double objectif scientifique. En premier lieu explorer des concepts communs aux géosciences et aux sciences de l’information et de la communication, afin de déterminer un cadre d’analyse commun. Ensuite, analyser les productions médiatiques relatives à certains séismes et à certaines crues afin de comprendre les logiques de construction sociale de ces catastrophes (croisement d’indicateurs des géosciences et des sciences de la communication), ceci à différentes échelles spatio-temporelles. Le projet CoGis est précédé la veille, le 14 novembre à 18h, d'une projection à la cinémathèque de Grenoble (salle Juliet Berto) d'un film d'Haroun Tazieff, Les rendez-vous du Diable, suivi d'une discussion.

The conditions of distribution of media information in the broader region of SaarLorLux
Depuis trois ans, huit chercheurs en sciences humaines de Lorraine, de la Sarre et du Luxembourg étudient la circulation des informations médiatiques dans la grande région. Plusieurs terrains étroitement articulés permettent de rendre compte de la construction, ou plus exactement de la difficile construction, d'un « espace médiatique grand régional » à travers des frontières politiques, culturelles ou sociales en permanente redéfinition. Les résultats seront discutés durant ces journées d'études avec des chercheurs confirmés et des doctorants.

Transnational representations of the flight and expulsions of Germans after the Second World War
Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les événements de la fuite et de l’expulsion des Allemands des territoires de l’Est à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale occupent l’espace public en Allemagne. Le colloque souhaite s'interroger sur les représentations littéraires, artistiques, médiatiques et muséographiques de ces événements dans une perspective transnationale, en incluant la réception de ces événements dans les principaux pays voisins concernés : Pologne – République tchèque et Slovaquie. Il s'inscrit ainsi dans une tendance à lire ces événements dans une perspective européenne des migrations et déplacements de population. -

Climate and Weather: Science as Public Culture
Scientific Communication and its History – III
This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history. -
