Revisiting Narrative Journalism as One of The Futures of Journalism
International audienceNews-making and reporting are caught in a process of rationalisation which can be summarized in the injuction to produce fast, to write short and simple and to value useful news for audiences only interested by practical matters. This paper would firstly suggest that if this new style of journalism has produced interesting innovations, its costs are worthier debating than its contributions. It would then argue that mobilising the competitive advantages of a tradition of investigative and narrative journalism may be a reasonable bet to struggle against the news supplied by blogs, aggregators and short-format news sources. A third part suggests how this apparent "back to basics" involves however significant changes in both the training of journalists and the nature of the medium used for the diffusion of this renewed style of reporting
Les voyages des cultural studies
RĂ©sumĂ©NĂ©es en Grande-Bretagne dans les annĂ©es 1960-1970, les cultural studies ont connu une diffusion planĂ©taire Ă laquelle la France fait exception. Cet article tente dâen restituer les «voyages», par emprunt aux sciences sociales continentales, traversĂ©es Est/Ouest puis Ouest/Est de lâAtlantique. Il invite Ă ne ramener la diffusion des thĂ©ories et paradigmes ni Ă la force intrinsĂšque des idĂ©es justes ni Ă des effets de mode, mais Ă prĂȘter attention Ă lâinstitutionnalisation des disciplines et mondes acadĂ©miques nationaux. Il questionne le «provincialisme» intellectuel français, tantĂŽt authentique arriĂ©ration, tantĂŽt dĂ©nonciation commode du refus des modes et radicalismes superficiels.AbstractBorn in Great Britain in 1960-1970, cultural studies have spread over the planet, apart from France. The journey made by the social sciences on the continent â from east to west and then from west to east across the Atlanticâ is described. The diffusion of theories and paradigms should be reduced neither to the intrinsic force of the «right» ideas nor to «fashion». Instead, we should pay attention to the institutionalization of disciplines and to national academias. French intellectual «provincialism» is brought under question, sometimes as evidence of backwardness, sometimes as an easy way to criticize, even refuse, superficial, fashionable ideas and radicalisms
Lâapproche constructiviste des « problĂšmes publics ». Un aperçu des travaux anglo-saxons
Lâauteur sâattache Ă montrer comment sâest progressivement Ă©laborĂ©, dans la littĂ©rature anglo-saxone, un courant constructiviste dans lâapproche des « problĂšmes publics ». La sociologie interactionniste de Chicago en est lâaxe fondateur. Le courant des Cultural Studies et, notamment, lâanalyse des « paniques morales » participent Ă©galement de cette filiation. Des travaux plus rĂ©cents sur lâ« amont cognitif » des problĂšmes et politiques publics complĂštent le faisceau des approches constructivistes guidant vers une comprĂ©hension la plus multipolaire possible des « social problems »
Lâapport de Pierre Bourdieu Ă lâanalyse du discours. Dâun cadre thĂ©orique Ă des recherches empiriques
Il y a au moins deux façons de comprendre lâapport dâun auteur Ă un champ de recherche. La premiĂšre consiste Ă expliciter ses contributions thĂ©oriques, les concepts et pistes de recherche quâil suggĂšre. Lâautre se place davantage dans une logique des usages, pour voir en quoi des chercheurs ou des disciplines ont entrepris de penser avec, mais aussi contre ou au-delĂ des questionnements proposĂ©s. Ce sont les directions quâon voudrait suggĂ©rer ici. On explicitera donc en quoi Bourdieu propose ..
Playing with ghosts in a Dynkin game
We study a class of two-player optimal stopping games (Dynkin games) of preemption type, with uncertainty about the existence of competitors. The set-up is well-suited to model, for example, real options in the context of investors who do not want to publicly reveal their interest in a certain business opportunity. We show that if the underlying process is a Rd-valued, continuous, strong Markov process, and the stopping payoff is a continuous function (with mild integrability properties) there exists a Nash equilibrium in randomised stopping times for the game. Moreover, the equilibrium strategies and the expected payoffs of the two players are computed explicitly in terms of the corresponding one-player game. To the best of our knowledge this is the first paper to address this version of Dynkin games
BrAPI-an application programming interface for plant breeding applications
Motivation: Modern genomic breeding methods rely heavily on very large amounts of phenotyping and genotyping data, presenting new challenges in effective data management and integration. Recently, the size and complexity of datasets have increased significantly, with the result that data are often stored on multiple systems. As analyses of interest increasingly require aggregation of datasets from diverse sources, data exchange between disparate systems becomes a challenge. Results: To facilitate interoperability among breeding applications, we present the public plant Breeding Application Programming Interface (BrAPI). BrAPI is a standardized web service API specification. The development of BrAPI is a collaborative, community-based initiative involving a growing global community of over a hundred participants representing several dozen institutions and companies. Development of such a standard is recognized as critical to a number of important large breeding system initiatives as a foundational technology. The focus of the first version of the API is on providing services for connecting systems and retrieving basic breeding data including germplasm, study, observation, and marker data. A number of BrAPI-enabled applications, termed BrAPPs, have been written, that take advantage of the emerging support of BrAPI by many databases
Dix ans d'histoire culturelle
L'association pour le dĂ©veloppement de l'histoire culturelle (ADHC) est nĂ©e, en 1999, du constat de la place croissante, en mĂȘme temps que problĂ©matique, de l'histoire culturelle dans l'historiographie contemporaine. RevendiquĂ©e par les uns, dĂ©noncĂ©e par les autres, cette place mĂ©ritait l'institution d'un lieu de rencontres oĂč tous ceux qui se reconnaissent dans cette qualification pourraient Ă©changer sur le fond et sur la forme de leur travail. L'association a tenu son premier congrĂšs en 2000. Au terme d'une dĂ©cennie et plus d'activitĂ©, il Ă©tait temps de tirer le bilan et, comme il se doit, de tracer de nouvelles perspectives. Cette anthologie des confĂ©rences et tables rondes organisĂ©es dans le cadre du congrĂšs annuel de l'association propose un panorama unique en son genre des propositions avancĂ©es par l'histoire culturelle en France et, dans une moindre mesure, Ă l'Ă©tranger depuis dix ans. RegroupĂ©s en sections thĂ©matiques (dĂ©finitions et frontiĂšres, objets, regards et transferts, dĂ©bats), ces textes rĂ©digĂ©s par d'Ă©minents spĂ©cialistes venus de divers horizons (historiens, sociologues, philosophes, historiens de l'art ou de la littĂ©rature) donnent Ă voir Ă la fois la permanence de certains questionnements et leur renouvellement
