The Radio Eye
The Radio Eye: Cinema in the North Atlantic, 1958–1988, examines the way in which media experiments in Quebec, Newfoundland, the Faroe Islands, and the Irish-Gaelic-speaking communities of Ireland use film, video, and television to advocate for marginalized communities and often for “smaller languages.” The Radio Eye is not, however, a set of isolated case studies. Author Jerry White illustrates the degree to which these experiments are interconnected, sometimes implicitly but more often quite explicitly. Media makers in the North Atlantic during the period 1958–1988 were very aware of each other’s cultures and aspirations, and, by structuring the book in two interlocking parts, Wh...
The Ethnographic Optic
The Ethnographic Optic traces the surprising role of ethnography in French cinema in the 1960s and examines its place in several New Wave fictions and cinéma vérité documentaries during the final years of the French colonial empire. Focusing on prominent French filmmakers Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, and Alain Resnais, author Laure Astourian elucidates their striking pivot from centering their work on distant lands to scrutinizing their own French urban culture. As awareness of the ramifications of the shrinking empire grew within metropolitan France, these filmmakers turned inward what their similarly white, urban, bourgeois predecessors had long turned outward toward the colonies: the ethnographic gaze. Featuring some of the most canonical and best-loved films of the French tradition, such as Moi, un Noir, La jetée, and Muriel, this is an essential book for readers interested in national identity and cinema.

Communications en temps de crise
La tempête de verglas de janvier 1998 a privé trois millions de personnes d'électricité au cour de l'hiver. Les autorités civiles et les organisations ont dû trouver des réponses aux besoins urgents des citoyens. Pour relancer le débat, approfondir certaines thématiques et dresser le bilan des retombées de cette situation d'urgence, des professionnels des communications et des universitaires ont joint leurs efforts pour organiser un colloque sur les communications en temps de crise. Voilà donc une contribution sociale hors du commun destinée à l'ensemble de la collectivité.
Camera Historica

Images et sociétés
Le constat est indéniable : les images sont partout. Elles envahissent toutes les sphères de la vie sociale. Faut-il voir dans ce fait l'expression de l'idée de progrès ? Quelles sont les représentations par l'image médiatisée que les sociétés occidentales dites démocratiques et industrielles se sont données d'elles-mêmes ? Ces questions surgissent dès lors que l'on retrace l'histoire de l'image depuis la naissance de la photographie jusqu'à la révolution numérique dont Internet est le fer de lance. Cet ouvrage est une étude approfondie des images qui marquent nos sociétés occidentales depuis la Révolution industrielle. L'auteur identifie non seulement les rôles assigné...
