  The utopia of globalised culture and the reality of local communication practices

  Communication and digital technology in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa

  The imaginary world surrounding digital communication seems to impose a vision that crushes cultural diversity. The Symposium aims to jointly explore the heterogeneity of uses, productions and issues raised by the meeting of globalised technology that is often Western-centred, with various cultures. The first edition will focus on Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, a multicultural territory where contemporary geopolitical contexts pose particularly vital issues for communications research. These issues are of interest mainly to the information and communication sciences community, but the contributions of researchers from various cultural and disciplinary horizons will make it possible to tackle this very broad problem of communication, especially digital, in sensitive areas, according to different complementary approaches.

  Societies without borders?

  The new horizons of transnational studies

  Une pluralité de phénomènes sociaux longtemps analysés principalement par le prisme des États-nations sont désormais revisités dans des contextes plus vastes. Les chercheurs en sciences sociales accordent une importance accrue aux mouvements migratoires, aux dynamiques économiques et aux processus de formation de classe à l’échelle mondiale, aux mobilisations sociales transnationales, à la circulation des idées et des pratiques culturelles - autant de phénomènes qui tendent à « déborder » les frontières nationales. Ces objets de recherche ont contribué au fleurissement des études transnationales au sein de différents champs disciplinaires. En sciences humaines et sociales, les échelles d’analyse se sont diversifiées afin de mettre en lumière des échanges internationaux, des processus « translocaux » et des liens transfrontières de toutes sortes. Notre colloque sondera les tendances récentes des études transnationales et les nouvelles orientations qu’elles pourraient prendre d’un point de vue théorique, méthodologique ou empirique.

  Media and identities

  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?
