  Paris, the capital of the media, 19th-21st centuries

  Places, models and figures of the media, from Girardin to start-ups

  Dans une perspective chronologique élargie (XIXe-XXIe siècle), le colloque « Paris capital(e) médiatique » analysera les métamorphoses successives des industries médiatiques parisiennes, en les  considérant dans la diversité de leurs manifestations, textuelles, techniques, sociales et géographiques. Quel rôle les médias jouent-ils dans le réinvestissement imaginaire et symbolique d’une ville qui, selon Balzac, offre « le spectacle dramatique incessant » de ses « combats déchirants pour l’existence » ? Et quelle place Paris, en tant que ville réelle et symbolique, occupe-t-elle dans le développement et les mutations médiatiques ?

  The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance

  "Forma" Revista d'estudis comparatius. Art, literatura, pensament
