The Sources of Colour: the Gobelins Dyeing Workshop

Jehan Gobelin, a dyer from Reims, set up a workshop in the mid fifteenth century not far from the BièvreRiver, whose water was particularly suitable for dyeing purposes. His descendants, who were experts inthe dyeing of wool in Venice scarlet, soon acquired vast stretches of land that ran alongside the Bièvre andconstructed large workshops. Henri IV rented them and had tapestry workshops installed on the sites. This rich diachronic and multidisciplinary history is the topic of these study days, the first ever devoted tothe Gobelins dyeing workshop, in its long history. Based on unprecedented sources or sources seen from afresh perspective, these study days aims to focus on the latest knowledge concerning the dyeing workshop.

Michael Jackson's artistic contributions: a different perspective

The number of academic studies on Michael Jackson has increased in recent years, no doubt coinciding with both an awareness of his impact on the music industry, music history and society, and the growing interest he represented for cultural studies. However, many of the studies concerning him have focused much less on his artistic contributions than on the so-called anxiety-provoking fluidity of his artistic image, often examined through the prism of “race”. By dedicating a special issue to Michael Jackson, NaKan proposes to shift this perception and broaden the approaches that are too often melano-centric to generate a reflection that is more oriented towards the artist's work and the mediums of his expressions, as so many channels offering a possibility of contextualization, and historical and stylistic analysis.

Challenges, Trends and Research: Audiovisual Screenwriting

From connoisseurs, amateurs, consecrated authors, curious people, to people interested in professionalizing, we have seen the growing interest in Screenplay Writing for Cinema and Audiovisual products, in the last twenty years, in Brazil. Initially, slowly, but then at an exponential pace as a result of market changes, the new perspectives provided by technologies, the possibilities for new expressive and participative experiences, the diversification of distribution formats and platforms and, mainly, the easy access to information on the topic that has fueled this trend. In the professional aspect, the consolidation of ABRA, Brazilian Screenwriters Authors Association - in 2017, resulting from the merger of two previous associations, elevated the professional screenwriter from a previously unstable status and highlighted him towards his autonomy.

Influence and organizations: cultures, practices and perspectives

Revue « Communication & organisation »

Les discussions autour de l’influence, qu’elles soient de nature académique ou destinées aux praticiens, sont dominées par des travaux en marketing et en psychologie, l’influence étant conçue comme un objet que l’on pourrait théoriser, analyser, quantifier, manipuler, voire mettre en marché. Le numéro 60 de Communication & organisation vise à enrichir le champ conceptuel autour de la notion d’influence par le prisme d’autres notions comme la prescription, la recommandation, les routines et la familiarisation, la confiance, le rôle d'un tiers symbolisant, ou la place de la réputation.

The world: a concept in literature and philosophy

La littérature et les sciences humaines se présentent souvent comme des tentatives de construction, de mise en partage, d’interrogation de la notion métaphysique de monde et de la notion politiques de monde commun : tout se passe encore aujourd’hui comme si, ayant renoncé à tout regard systématique de surplomb, philosophes et écrivains ne cessaient pourtant pas d’interroger et de rêver des mondes dont l’unité toujours présomptive, toujours problématique, oscille entre la présence et l’absence, le possible et l’effectif. L’objet de ces rencontres virtuelles, à l’heure où le monde reste encore en suspens, est de revenir sur l’histoire, les usages, les critiques de l’idée de monde en littérature et en philosophie.

Going beyond the limits: experiment with timbre in vocal and instrumental practice in modal music

This title, inspired by a Christopher Page article, points out a key question about the reenactment of medieval music: how to put in sound the vast repertoire that we have inherited. This question links the instruments and their music, as they immediately imply issues related to performance and organological knowledge. From the vocal point of view, it is even more of a burning issue as it requires for imagination and representation. Can experiment, practice and trial go beyond the limits imposed on us by the few material traces available ?

From night scenes to nocturnes. Exploring the nocturne in film, photography and video

What is the ontological status of the nocturne? Do artists exploit it as lighting or setting, as a motif or a device for the purposes of creating a particular atmosphere? What are its effects on the viewer? Can it be fully incorporated into the domains of photography, film and video? We must begin by asking the right questions.

Low profile Nazi war criminals in the spotlight

Legal chronicles and the memory of Nazism in Germany, Austria and France

Ce projet interdisciplinaire s’adresse à des chercheuses et chercheurs en histoire, études germaniques, droit et sciences de l’information et de la communication. Il vise à analyser l’impact des procès de criminels nazis peu connus du grand public sur la transmission de la mémoire du nazisme en France, en Allemagne et en Autriche. Il se penche sur deux moments peu investis par la recherche, les années 1950 et les années 2000-2010 à partir de la chronique judiciaire (comptes rendus dans la presse, la radio, la télévision et sur internet), qui fait le lien entre l’arène du tribunal et l’opinion.
