Sans la liberté de flatter , il n'est pas d'éloge blâmeur
The comedian and television presenter Jacques Martin (1933-2007) is well-known to the French public even a quarter century after his disappearance from their screens. Despite having been the author/originator of many of the most watched and influential shows on French television in the 1960s, 1970s, and beyond, Martin is curiously little studied in academic literature, even though much of his work can be seen to prefigure later trends in televisi…
Du Crésoxipropanédiol en capsule’. Jean Yanne's musical satire
The satirical songs of Jean Yanne (1933–2003) are a little-studied aspect of the work of this French singer-songwriter, comedian, actor and film director. Composed and performed in the late-1950s and mid-1960s Yanne's satirical music, like his radio and television comedy sketches, spoke to tensions in French politics and society during a period of rapid socioeconomic and sociocultural modernisation. Yanne's idiosyncratically derisive humour was c…
Obscene or Exemplary? Robert Marchand’s Cycling World Hour Record
The cycling world hour record for riders over 105 years old set in 2017 by Robert Marchand was much discussed in France in a context of neoliberal discourses about work and retirement. Within a debate about work characterized by desires to encourage “active aging,” Marchand’s sporting athletic effort was variously perceived as exemplary hard work and productive old age, or as an obscene abuse of athleticism. This article examines the reception of…
Entre journalisme et littérature sur 7 500 signes’
As national institution and site of memory for France for over a century, the Tour de France is a privileged locus for investigating the interactions between sport and cultural meaning. Literary journalism chronicling the race has a long history of representing the multiple meanings and dimensions of physical performance, particularly of heroic champions, in the Tour. During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries the Tour itself and …

Cultural policy, creative clusters and the complexity of higher education
This paper looks at the interplay between ‘creative industries’ and ‘cultural policy’ in France. We analyse how university stakeholder communities in the field of elite vocational training schools for ‘applied arts’ such as Bande dessinée (comics and animation) and videogaming negotiate the over simplistically reified relationship between public policies in the arts and the creative sector. The analysis relates the ‘case-studies’ of the ENJMIN (a…

France and the 1998 World Cup
The Scotsman A new book, and the 1998 World cup is subtitled The National Impact of a World Sporting Event, and delivers a compelling and persuasive body of evidence to suggest 98 was a significant landmark in the countrys 20th century history. The New Statesman France and the 1998 World Cup is written in the flat, unexcitable style of a sociology textbook, yet it eschews jargon and has a curious readability. It is particularly good on how nation…
Cosmopolitanism united by electricity and sport
Proprietor and director of the Paris Herald newspaper, James Gordon Bennett Jnr (1841−1918) was a key agent in the development of international sporting competitions during the belle époque, promoted and mediatised by the Herald. This international newspaper, managed by an American representative of a growing upper-class society of affluent expatriates in Europe, was a key site of ‘internationalism’, merging its owner’s fascination with sport and…

Quiet contradictions of celebrity
A B S T R A C T • The French soccer-player Zinedine Zidane is an emblematic sport star whose celebrity persona nevertheless remains opaque and open to debate. As a French citizen of Algerian origin, Zidane has come to embody many current French concerns over the integration of ethnic minorities and has, particularly since the World Cup Finals of 1998 and 2006, been subjected to intense scrutiny and interpretation. Despite such attention, however,…

The 1998 World Cup Finals focused the attention of the world on France. The cumulative television audience for the 64 matches was nearly 40 billion - the biggest ever audience for a single event. French political and economic decision-makers were very aware that for a month the eyes of the world were on France. On the night of 12 July, whether in Paris and other cities or in smaller communities all over France, there was an outpouring of joy and …

France and the Information Superhighway
In the 1970s and 1980s the French state was closely involved in dirigiste policies of technological development in the telecommunications sector, but in the 1990s the challenge of planning France's entry to the Information superhighway is throwing up questions for traditional strategies of organising the production of infrastructures and services. Although official reports on ‘les autoroutes de l'information’ stress the need for immediate action,…

French youth talk radio
French talk radio emerged in the mid-1990s as a form of programming which challenged accepted practices of French radio, especially when catering for youthful audiences who were attracted to cult radio programmes whose star presenters vied with each other to increase audience ratings. French youth talk radio has come into conflict with regulators over good taste and quality in programming, creating a wider debate over issues of censorship, cultur…
French `Reality Television
During the early 1990s, reality programming (RP) was introduced into the French television industry in the form of what became known as téléréalité, or, perhaps in deference to their American and Italian origins, `reality shows'. Initially greeted by a storm of controversy about their legality, and about the desirability of some of their feared effects on French society and institutions (especially the legal system and the right to privacy), real…

La commercialisation du football
Les auteurs étudient l'articulation nouvelle entre l'espace sportif et le champ économique en Angleterre et en France, en montrant comment, dans les deux cas, la symbiose télévision-commerce-football a diminué l'autonomie de l'espace sportif. Ils présentent les grands facteurs d'ordre social, économique, politique et culturel qui ont conduit cette évolution, ainsi qu'une affaire récente concernant Newcastle United qui l'illustre. L'influence de l…
Modernising French Political Communication
Dans la cour des grands’
France's hosting of the 1998 World Cup not only fits the French State's traditional use of international sporting events for asserting national grandeur, but suggests both a coming of age of French football itself, and more widely, a statement of national economic and political self‐confidence. France 98 may be seen as an example of the particular French relationship between public authorities and sport, in which Republican values pervade areas o…
