  Exploring repetition in popular music

  Over and Over: Exploring repetition in popular music aims at identifying and studying the recent aesthetic and analytical developments of musical repetition. From the 32-bar forms of Tin Pan Alley, through the cyclic forms of modal jazz, to the more recent accumulation of digital layers, beats, and breaks in Electronic Dance Music (EDM), repetition as both an aesthetic disposition or formal musicological property stimulated a diversity of genres and techniques. After decades of riffs, loops, vamps, reiterated rhythmic patterns, as well as pervasive harmonic formulae and recurring structural units in standardized song forms, the time has come to give these notions the place they deserve in the study of popular music.

  La culture aérienne. Objets, imaginaire, pratiques de l'aéronautique, XVIIIe-XXe siècle

  Aeronautical Culture. Artifacts, Imagination, and the Practice of Aeronautics.18th-20th Century

  L’approche de l’histoire de l’aéronautique proposée ici est celle de problématiques transversales sur la longue durée. Des premiers ballons en 1783 aux transports de masse de nos jours, la culture aérienne a imprimé sa marque au monde moderne. Loin d’opposer aérostation et aviation, il s’agit de s’interroger sur cette culture aérienne en prenant en considération les temps longs et parfois superposés des savoirs, des représentations, des réceptions et des pratiques variées qui traversent le champ des techniques. Le vol libre des ballons nourrit tout au long du XIXe siècle de nouveaux imaginaires et trace l’horizon de conquêtes possibles que l’avion et le dirigeable revivifient et rendent réalisables. La première guerre mondiale génère des industries aéronautiques, y compris civiles ; le transport de masse, des entreprises et des infrastructures, des flux de voyageurs et de marchandises, le nouveau visage des échanges mondiaux. Loin de se réduire à l’héroïsme des pionniers, ces problématiques permettent d’aborder un ensemble de questions nouant l’histoire des techniques et l’histoire culturelle.
