Culture and Communication: culture on television
(4)th season - sessions 2019/2021)
In 2019-2020, the seminar will continue its research on the relations between media, culture and communication in France and around the world. Foreign media will be presented to better understand the specificities and cultural references: British television often presented as the model of televisions; Israeli radio and television from the 1960s to the present day.
It will focus on the development of international circulation of audiovisual models and programmes, cultural and economic transfers. Investigations will continue on audiovisual policies, the debates they have generated and their implementation. We will examine the role and action in the audiovisual field of major players in cultural policies such as Jack Ralite, former minister, senator, mayor of Aubervilliers.

Culture and communication: marriage of heart or reason?
(1)era season - sessions 2017)
Are communication, the media, the sound and image industries part of culture by right? Or are they a devalued form, devoted to leisure, entertainment, or even «the alienation of the masses»? This debate has ignited minds since the origins of the press – more than a century ago! A seminar scheduled from January to June 2017 explores sixty years of passionate relations between culture and communication.
At the heart of this seminar organized by the History Committee of the Ministry of Culture and Communication: understand how and why the field of communication, held in distrust by cultural circles, ended up becoming a central area of action of the Ministry of Culture. By exploring the history of political, administrative and institutional relations between two fields, first presented as separate or even opposite, the seminar shows how they have gradually come closer to the point of sometimes appearing to be confused, in particular around what has been called, since the 1970s, the “cultural industries” – a term originally conceived in the singular to denounce the “monstrous” pairing of realities that were to remain distinct.
During this first year, six sessions, at a rate of one session per month from January to June 2017, will allow to trace this rapprochement, which some persist to consider unnatural, starting from the following themes: the history of the relations between Culture and Communication, from the Liberation in the mid-1970s; the development of a socio-economics of cultural industries from the 1960s to the 1990s; radio, from the state monopoly to the liberalization of the airwaves; institutional history from the mid-1970s to the 1990s; the French audiovisual landscape in the years 1980-1990 – laws, regulatory bodies and specifications, before concluding on other national models, in a comparative perspective of the relations between Culture and Communication. These themes will be addressed both by specialists, researchers and academics, and by direct actors in this story.
Under the scientific direction of Laurent MartinProfessor of Contemporary History at the University of Paris III Sorbonne-Nouvelle, this research project is open to a double audience: specialists, researchers in information sciences and communication, or in history and sociology of culture; but also the wider circle of professionals working in the field of media, politics and cultural mediation. Objective: to better identify and promote the growing role of communication issues in the broad sense and thus contribute to defining a cultural policy that encompasses phenomena related to mass culture and popular cultures, cultural and creative industries, audiovisual and digital media.
