  The 20th century of the future

  Thinking, representing, and imagining the future in the 19th century, 7th conference of the Société des études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes

  On a souvent remarqué que le XIX^e siècle a été le premier à se penser en tant que siècle, et le premier aussi à se désigner par un numéral. Une autre de ses caractéristiques, c’est qu’il ne s’est pas centré autour d’une qualification unique, comme a fini par le faire le siècle des Lumières, mais qu’il a, au contraire, multiplié les appellations censées le caractériser. Nombreuses sont les expressions sous la forme « le siècle de... », insistant sur une de ses déterminations jugées essentielles : le siècle de l’histoire, le siècle des révolutions, le siècle des inventaires (Thibaudet), le siècle des dictionnaires (Larousse), le siècle de l’abstraction (Fortoul), le siècle de la science, le siècle des inventions, le siècle de la vitesse, le siècle positif, le siècle romantique, le siècle de la blague (Goncourt), etc.

  Military Journalism in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)

  Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies, Issue 16 - Spring 2014

  In the sociology of media, the question of military journalism occupies a special place as one carrying significant political and institutional-specific implications. This is particularly obvious in the case of the USSR, where censorship, ideological challenges related to conflicts, and inaccessibility of the army have hindered attempts to gain knowledge of the production process regarding news and information surrounding the military. Since the fall of the USSR, Russian media space has experienced an opening and a liberalization applicable to military journalism. The old Soviet army newspapers have continued to exist (Krasnaia Zvezda, for example) while civil titles dedicated to military topics have appeared (for instance, the military supplement Nezavisimoe Voennoe Obozrenie of the daily newspaper Nezavisimaia Gazeta). At the same time, new independent media have gravitated toward military topics, fed by specialized civil correspondents. This issue of The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies will be devoted to military journalism in the USSR, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) from concurrent historical, sociological and political points of view. It will examine the faces of tension and compromise between freedom of the press and constraints suitable for military journalism.
