  Call for papers - History

  At the heart of the transnational allophone press

  Production, financing, distribution, circulation and reception (XIX°-XX° centuries)

  Long ignored by specialists, the foreign-language press exists in most countries at the margins of the global media system. In some countries, especially in those that attract large flows of immigrants, exiles and expatriates, these periodicals are numerous and of a great variety. For the 10^th Transfopress Encounter, we invite papers on the organization and functioning of the allophone press, its funding, its distribution, circulation and reception by its readres.

  Paris, Polyphonic Metropolis

  The Foreign-Language Press in the French Capital (19th-21st Centuries)

  This conference aims to highlight the contribution of the foreign-language press published in Paris and its outskirts - of which many titles remain to be discovered - to a better understanding of the topography, polyphony, and sociology of the city. It will also look at how this press influenced the evolution of the Parisian sociocultural landscape and facilitated a better integration of its readers to the host country. The study of newspapers and periodicals, founded for and by various linguistic communities, should allow us to shed light on a relatively unknown aspect of the history of the Parisian press and help us lay the groundwork for a polyphonic history of the press published in Paris and its surrounding suburbs.

  Journalism and Platforms 2: information, infomediation and fake news

  Infomediation platforms (Smyrnaios, Rebillard, 2019) have become the dominant force of a ‘reintermediation’ of information online by organising a large variety of contents and making them available to internet users. Information from journalists, which we would qualify here as current affairs or news, finds itself subject to exogenous imperatives which finish by influencing editorial decisions on information medias (Bell, Owen, 2017). This ‘platformisation’ of information online has coincided with an acceleration of the circulation of non-journalistic information besides news, from satire to disinformation, which increases the offer of contents proposed to internet users. In this open environment where journalistic productions, disinformation, click traps, infotainment and satire live together, journalism needs to rethink itself. The aim of this conference is to explore new journalistic practices in relation to “fake news” at the heart of environments dominated by platforms. By “fake news”, and because the polysemy of the term has sometimes contributed to its instrumentalisation, we mean more precisely ‘information problems’ (Wardle, Derakhsan, 2019) in all their diversity.

  Song in Montmartre (1860-1960)

  Entre 1860 et 1960, la chanson montmartroise est parvenue à incarner Paris aussi bien dans le reste de la France qu’à l’étranger. Pourtant, ce répertoire s’inspire souvent des aspects locaux et villageois du quartier (en mettant notamment en avant son argot). [...] Comment insérer ce répertoire dans une histoire sonore et musicale du quartier-Montmartre et, dans celle de Paris ? Qui sont les acteurs de la chansons montmartroise, car cette histoire n’a pas été écrite que par des musiciens et des paroliers, mais avec la collaboration d’illustrateurs, de critiques, d’éditeurs, d’agents d’artistes, etc. Les interprètes se trouvent également au centre de ce monde de la chanson, tout comme la partition (considérée aussi comme objet illustré signé souvent par artistes célèbres). Partant de ces questionnements, nous souhaitons stimuler, lors de la journée d'études, des réflexions qui dynamisent la pensée autour de la chanson montmartroise et, par extension, française, soulignant les liens qui les rendent indissociables.

  Conference, symposium - Representation

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

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

  Le colloque interroge les liens entre Paris et les médias, à travers l’analyse des industries médiatiques au XIX^e siècle et de terrains d’étude plus contemporains. Il explore les relations réciproques entre les figures, les métiers et les imaginaires des industries médiatiques et culturelles (journalisme, publicité, nouvelles technologies) et Paris : quelle place occupe la capitale dans le développement de ces industries et en quoi celles-ci participent-elles à la fabrication de Paris et de son mythe ?
