Collective Memory Narratives in Contemporary Culture
Starting from the central importance of memory in contemporary societies, this book encourages a transdisciplinary reflection on how the “presentification of the past” is never a simple reenactment but corresponds to the interaction between memory and cultural sensitiveness, present beliefs and needs, expectations, and forecasts for the future. It studies cultural (re)construction through collective stories, including academic debates, media narratives, collective mobilizations, state narratives of history, architectural reconstructions, and artistic expressions.

Introduction to the Semiotics of the Text
This books aims to demonstrate how semiotic models of textual analysis can be used to study any social reality or cultural process. In addition, it shows how semiotic models work by using examples from everyday life and social praxis, communicative processes and modes of consumption, online interactions and cross-media procedures, political experiences and scientific universes.
Encyclopedia of Media and Communication
The first comprehensive encyclopedia for the growing fields of media and communication studies, the Encyclopedia of Media and Communication is an essential resource for beginners and seasoned academics alike. Contributions from over fifty experts and practitioners provide an accessible introduction to these disciplines' most important concepts, figures, and schools of thought – from Jean Baudrillard to Tim Berners Lee, and podcasting to Peircean semiotics. Detailed and up-to-date, the Encyclopedia of Media and Communication synthesizes a wide array of works and perspectives on the making of meaning. The appendix includes timelines covering the whole historical record for each medium, from either antiquity or their inception to the present day. Each entry also features a bibliography linking readers to relevant resources for further reading. The most coherent treatment yet of these fields, the Encyclopedia of Media and Communication promises to be the standard reference text for the next generation of media and communication students and scholars.
Sounds of the Pandemic
Sounds of the Pandemic offers one of the first critical analyses of the changes in sonic environments, artistic practice, and listening behaviour caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. This multifaceted collection provides a detailed picture of a wide array of phenomena related to sound and music, including soundscapes, music production, music performance, and mediatisation processes in the context of COVID-19. It represents a first step to understanding how the pandemic and its by-products affected sound domains in terms of experiences and practices, representations, collective imaginaries, and socio-political manipulations. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners working in the realms of music production and performance, musicology and ethnomusicology, sound studies, and media and cultural studies.
Performances et objets culturels
L'homme, cet animal culturel, vit dans un monde de performances culturelles au terme desquelles sont produits, transformés ou détruits des objets matériels ou idéels.

La nostalgie comme sentiment
La période de grandes transformations sociales que nous vivons actuellement est propice à l’émergence et au développement du sentiment de nostalgie, qui peut même devenir une attitude de vie. Tous les sociologues qui mènent des recherches sur l’immigration connaissent bien la présence de la nostalgie dans la vie des personnes qui en sont issues. L’analyse de ce sentiment nous permet de comprendre que l’être humain ne peut pas toujours être socialisé, ni s’adapter à n’importe quelles conditions de vie. Cet ouvrage interroge la nostalgie au niveau philosophique, littéraire, politique, ainsi qu’à travers ses manifestations dans la publicité et le cinéma. Un éclairage qui nous fait comprendre l’impact et l’influence de certains discours politiques qui exaltent le passé et nous aide à réfléchir sur la question de l’adaptation de l’être humain à son époque.
