From Web Documentaries to Virtual Reality
This article is based on long-term fieldwork undertaken in the 2010s among producers in the “new media” sector. The aim of this work was to investigate a new space of production spanning from the earliest web documentaries to the most recent virtual reality projects, whose models of production might reflect a broader movement reshaping professional logics and manufacturing chains for audiovisual goods. My analysis focuses on the profiles of profe…
Mounir Shafiq
Né en 1936 à Jérusalem, Mounir Shafiq est un « intellectuel révolutionnaire » passé du communisme philo-soviétique au nationalisme palestinien inspiré du maoïsme, pour aboutir à l’islam politique. Il intègre les rangs du Parti communiste jordanien dans les années 1950. Il devient membre du Fatah de Yasser Arafat dans les années 1960, et intègre le Centre de planification de l’Organisation de libération de la Palestine (OLP). La révolution iranien…
International Mobility and the “Academic” Ethos of Women in the Global Contemporary Art World
This article draws on a research study of intra-European migrations by Spanish artists and artist intermediaries in order to investigate the specific ways in which women build careers within the globalized contemporary art world. The uncertainties involved in pursuing both an artistic career and international migration frequently lead to “academic” behaviours among women in the population studied. Strategies such as turning to international progr…
“Utopia isn’t for Everyone”
The music industry is sometimes seen as a unique sector that is more meritocratic than the rest of society and in which the work is by nature fulfilling. However, the industry is deeply inegalitarian, and precarity is the norm for most of those who work within it. But does this precarity manifest differently depending on gender, class, and race? Drawing on a participant observation study and interviews with a population of independent (“do-it-you…
Comedic Tastes as Social Relations of Class
On the basis of a reception study of comedic television series, this article extends analysis of class-based social and moral tastes to humor. The results it formulates are focused on a sample of young people from the cultured fractions of the middle and upper classes. In sharing their comedic likes and dislikes, the individuals interviewed here situate themselves socially, and express both what they aspire to and what they reject in terms of cul…
From the Bourgeoisie to the Life of an Artist
How should we understand certain individuals’ orientation toward the unsettled, uncertain (although relatively prestigious) life of an artist? This article is based on biographical analyses of the life trajectories of actors and actresses from the economic fractions of the upper classes, and focuses in particular on family inheritance. The attraction to the artistic field makes sense in connection with artists’ rejection of a family inheritance p…
An Orchestra Faces the Test of Indeterminacy
This article examines the collaboration between ONCEIM—an orchestra made up of about thirty musicians specialised in musical improvisation —and the pianist and improviser John Tilbury, from whom ONCEIM commissioned a piece entitled Sans. This process of musical creation was remarkable in that all participants had to work with a high degree of uncertainty regarding the nature of the project and, therefore, the distribution of roles and creative au…
“Me—I Need Paper”
This article will examine representations and practices of digital reading among readers of novels in connection with their reading “careers.” It will draw on a qualitative study comprising thirty-six interviews with readers of novels. First, I present the positive representations associated with reading on ereaders, which are appreciated for their potential in terms of practicality. Next, I analyse obstacles to the development of digital reading…
When Comics Become “Literary Salons” on Instagram
Digital social networks represent emerging literary and artistic scenes in which writers, artists, and fans are actively involved, as are cultural institutions and industries interested in testing out narrative practices that create new forms of mediation between creators and audiences. This is the case of the digital comic Été, co-produced by the public television network Arte and the community management company Bigger Than Fiction. The comic o…
Talent Agents and the Implications of Actor Placement
This article analyses what is at stake when talent agents place actors in television dramas and series, the production and consumption of which have gained increased cultural legitimacy in France over the past ten years. I will examine the mechanisms of valorization used by agents to arrange these placements and to defend the interests of their clientele. Next, I will analyse the stakes and customs surrounding these placements in terms of profess…
The Restricted Autonomy of Journalism and Cinema
This text brings together reflections on how Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of autonomy, which he drew on in the context of his theory of fields, can be used in research on journalism and cinema. Journalism and cinema cannot easily be compared with pure specialist activities, but their essential traits fit the model and analysis that Bourdieu developed mainly on the basis of the French literary field. At the same time, these two universes seem to prese…
