  Research on Popular Cultures and Media Cultures Convention 2018

  “Critical approaches to media fictions: stakes, tools and methods”

  Research on popular cultures and media cultures emerged in the 1960s with a few seminal works, and developed considerably in the last 25 years, particularly in the last 10 years through the contributions of a new generation of researchers who fully own up to their immersion in contemporary transmedia and serial culture.

We invite papers aimed at both understanding the relationships between sports, genders and sexualities, and using them as a tool to analyse broader social, ethical and political transformations. As such, such, we hope to provide both critical evaluation of current theories and paradigms by which sport, gender and sexuality are understood and encourage the opening of new horizons for critical investigations.

  Scolarly manuals and secularism

  La question de la laïcité est revenue dans l’actualité française en mettant en cause le contenu des manuels scolaires de plusieurs disciplines, aux différents niveaux de la scolarité. La 11^e journée d’étude Pierre Guibbert a l’ambition de faire le point sur cette question de la laïcité, dans les différentes disciplines tant du primaire que du secondaire, à partir des manuels scolaires, qui constitueront le corpus d’étude. Le comité scientifique sera particulièrement sensible aux propositions qui s’appuient sur des observations significatives, tant en France que dans d’autres pays. Comme toujours, il sera très attentif à la cohérence des corpus et des problématiques.
