Régis Debray et la médiologie
Ce volume réunit un ensemble d'études sur et autour de la médiologie de Régis Debray. Il présente l'avantage de comporter des essais explicatifs clairs et précis sur la théorie et la pratique médiologiques par des médiologues eux-mêmes (Régis Debray, Daniel Bougnoux et Louise Merzeau). L'ouvrage comprend également des analyses sur la réception de la médiologie, notamment aux Etats-Unis, ainsi qu'une série d'articles qui situent la médiologie dans le contexte plus large des disciplines dites connexes, notamment la sémiologie, l'anthropologie, les media studies et cultural studies d'inspiration anglo-américaine, la culture internet et le post-média. Cet ensemble d'études « médio-média » fait le point aussi bien sur le personnage de Régis Debray que sur le chantier médiologique qu'il a initié. Un ouvrage utile pour toute personne qui s'interesse à la question essentielle de la transmission culturelle.

Sanya...

The Unspeakable
The Unspeakable: Representations of Trauma in Francophone Literature and Art is situated at the crossroads of language, culture and genre; it contends that suffering transcends time, space and cultural specificity. Even when extreme trauma is silenced, it often still emerges in surprising and painful ways. This volume draws together examples from throughout the Francophone world, including countries such as Algeria, Morocco, Lebanon, Rwanda, Cameroon, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, New Caledonia, Quebec and France, and across genres such as autobiography, poetry, theater, film, fiction and visual art to provide a cohesive analysis of the representation of trauma. In addition to the survivor...
