Protest Music in France
Barbara Lebrun traces the evolution of 'protest' music in France since 1981, exploring the contradictions that emerge when artists who take their musical production and political commitment 'seriously', cross over to the mainstream, becoming profitable and consensual. Contestation is understood as a discourse shaped by the assumptions and practices of artists, producers, the media and audiences, for whom it makes sense to reject politically reactionary ideas and the dominant taste for commercial pop. Placing music in its economic, historical and ideological context, however, reveals the fragility and instability of these oppositions. The book firstly concentrates on music production in Franc...
Marseille, a century of pictures
Nombre de photographes ont éprouvé cette irrésistible attirance exercée par Marseille, depuis les pionniers du XIXe siècle qui fixent les derniers moments des quartiers anciens jusqu'aux artistes de l'avant-garde mondiale jouant notamment des ombres de l'emblématique pont à transbordeur.

Hergé, Son of Tintin
"Author of the critically acclaimed Tintin and the World of Hergé and the last person to interview Remi, Benoit Peeters tells the complete story behind Hergé's origins and shows how and why the nom de plume grew into a larger-than-Remi personality as Tintin's popularity exploded. Drawing on interviews and using recently uncovered primary sources for the first time, Peeters reveals Remi as a neurotic man who sought to escape the troubles of his past by allowing Hergé's identity to subsume his own. As Tintin adventured, Hergé lived out a romanticized version of life for Remi."--Jacket.

Les caricatures de Mahomet entre le Quebec et la France
Le 30 septembre 2005, le quotidien conservateur danois Jyllands Posten publie douze caricatures de Mahomet qui vont faire le tour du monde. Intitulée Les visages de Mahomet, cette série de dessins engendre des réactions de désapprobation et de condamnation qui tournent rapidement à la violence. La crise qui prend naissance le jour de la publication des caricatures atteint son apogée en termes de diffusion de l’information au mois de février 2006. Les médias du monde entier s’emparent de cette affaire, mais alors que la crise des caricatures prend une ampleur importante en Europe, l’Amérique du Nord semble rester davantage sur ses gardes. Aussi mettre côte à côte deux quotid...
