The notion of the dispositif (dispositive) is particularly relevant for understanding phenomena where one can observe the reproducibility of distributed technical activities, operational or discursive, between human and non-human actors. This book reviews the concept of the dispositive through various disciplinary perspectives, analyzing in turn its technical, organizational and discursive dimensions. The relations of power and visibility enrich these discussions. Regarding information and communication sciences, three main uses of this concept are presented, on the one hand to illustrate the heuristic scope of issues integrating the dispositive and, on the other hand, to demonstrate its unifying aspect in this disciplinary field. The first use concerns the complexity of media content production; the second relates to activity traces using the concept of the “secondary information dispositive”; finally, the third involves the use of the dispositive in contexts of digital participation.
This book is a compilation of thematically arranged essays that critically analyze emerging developments, issues, and perspectives in the field of comparative law, especially in the field of comparative constitutional law.

This book focuses on two commercial radio stations, Radio Luxembourg and Europe n°1, which were popular institutions in Western Europe throughout the Long Sixties, working across media and broadcasting transnationally. It argues that the existence of an overarching ‘dispositif ’ of commercial radio stations enabled them to operate on various dimensions and differentiated them from other broadcasters. The book therefore answers current calls in media history to look beyond national and single-medium borders and contributes to the cultural and media history of Western Europe.
Mediation is a very old practice that has been reborn to meet the needs of the contemporary world. It is thus increasingly present in today's societies. This book presents the theoretical foundations of mediation, as well as the way in which teachers and researchers in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS) have taken up this concept. Whether it is communicational, informational, cultural, organizational or societal, mediation belongs to a field of research, instituted by ICS, which sees in it a process of overcoming conflict, restoring communication and deconstructing social connections. Mediation: A Concept for Information and Communication Sciences inaugurates this set through its contribution to a state of the art of the theory and concepts used by the ICS community. It is addressed to teachers, researchers and students, as well as information professionals wishing to think about their daily practice.
Discourse is not just a means of expressing thought; it is also an autonomous body, an act through which we aim to achieve a certain effect. Modern linguistics proposes a broader definition of discourse, as a discrete and unique enunciative process, where the speaker or author makes language concrete through speech (in the Saussurian sense), and describes the various acts (oral, illocutionary, perlocutionary) that discourse performs. This book examines discourse, an object of analysis and criticism, from a wide range of perspectives. Among the concepts explored are the contributions of rhetoric in the art of discourse, the evolution of multiple approaches and the main methods of discourse analysis conducted by a variety of researchers. The book deepens our knowledge and understanding of discourse, a concept on which any research related to information and communication can be based.
A polymorphous concept, power has imposed itself since ancient times. Whether it characterizes the phenomena of domination, exclusion or voluntary submission, it illuminates social relations and, since the 20th Century, interpersonal relations. This book offers, first of all, a daring panorama through its intertwining of different theoretical propositions relating to power, across time and across disciplines. It then presents the work of researchers in information and communication sciences who draw from these proposals the materials allowing them to develop their own analyses. These analyses revisit discursive power with respect to contemporary formations of communication and information. They investigate digital technologies by problematizing the phenomena of influence, control and access to knowledge. Finally, they reflect on the media in the light of inherent powers of social mediation, advertising and journalism.

Cette troisième livraison des Cahiers du RESIPROC invite à renouveler l'approche des métiers du communicateur face à l’essor conjoint du numérique et d’Internet. Elle vise à répondre à un ensemble de questions en apparence simples: un communicateur numérique est-il différent d’un communicateur classique? Les formations en communication doivent-elles être repensées? De nouvelles compétences viennentelles s’ajouter ou se substituer à celles traditionnellement attendues d’un communicateur? Est-il plus pertinent de qualifi er ces métiers par le support qu’ils emploient ou la fi nalité de communication demeure-t-elle primordiale? Dans un premier temps, les textes rassemblés analysent comment le communicateur se trouve bousculé par le numérique et dans un second soulèvent la question des compétences à transmettre.
Depuis 2006, la conférence « Document numérique et société » se donne pour mission d'apporter des éclairages sur les transformations des dispositifs d'information à l'ère numérique, en privilégiant la dimension sociale. Cette 5e édition se focalise sur l'effervescence autour du Big data et de l'Open data qui anime autant les milieux d'affaires que les gouvernements et les scientifiques. Elle s'explique par l'interconnexion généralisée transformant l'économie des services et les internautes en fournisseurs de données, mais également par l'importance grandissante de l'internet des objets et, d'une manière générale, par les capacités computationnelles qui traitent désorma...
Le capital symbolique d’une organisation peut être profondément marqué, voire déterminé, par les médias sociaux. Jamais la réputation n’a été plus cruciale que dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Cet ouvrage réunit les réflexions d’enseignants-chercheurs nord-américains et européens issus de disciplines variées et celles de professionnels, d’experts et de praticiens. Offrant un regard pluriel sur les phénomènes d’e-réputation et d’influence, le livre aborde, autant par des articles théoriques que par des études de cas, la construction et la définition des dynamiques d’e-réputation et d’influence, les cadres juridiques, les pratiques et enjeux qui y sont liés ainsi que les communautés virtuelles et l’innovation.
