Media, technologies de l’intellect, code numérique. De quelques implications du medium sur le social chez Innis, Goody et Herrenschmidt
Cet article établit un dialogue entre l’œuvre de Jack Goody et celles de Harold Innis et Clarisse Herrenschmidt. Les concepts de modes de communication et de technologies de l’intellect élaborés par Goody sont d’abord confrontés aux développements consacrés aux media par Innis. Les catégories de savoir et de pouvoir sont analysées chez les deux auteurs à travers l’accent mis sur la culture lettrée par Goody et sur les monopoles du savoir par Inni…
Covid-19 in the Time of Climate Change
This paper analyzes the proliferation of memes linked to COVID-19 and climate change online discussions, looking particularly at how themes related to these two issues intersect with each other. To better understand the intersections, cross-pollinations, and mutations between these different but related forms of information dissemination, our research is based on applied thematic analysis and empirically analyzes memes deployed through two popula…
Topic modelling of public Twitter discourses, part bot, part active human user, on climate change and global warming
Twitter is a key site for understanding the highly polarized and politicized debate around climate change. We examined large datasets comprising about 15 million tweets from different parts of the world referencing climate change and global warming. Our examination of the twenty most active users employing the term ‘global warming’ are likely to be automated accounts or bots than the most active users employing the term ‘climate change’. We used …
Twitter’s Fake News Discourses Around Climate Change and Global Warming
In this empirical study, we collected about 6.8 million tweets that mentioned “fake news”, and we extracted references to climate change and/or global warming to understand the public discourses around these two issues. Using a mixed method, the study’s findings show that there is a clear politically polarized discussion on climate change. We found that the majority of tweets focus on the United States context though references to other Western c…
La science du climat au prisme de la culture
Background:In recent decades, climate has become one of the most hotly contested issues in relation to the ecological crisis. It encompasses challenges of such magnitude that “climate change” on its own has almost come to constitute a multidisciplinary area of research where scholarly and popular discourses interact forcefully. Analysis:This article uses both symbolic-religious and ethical frameworks to describe a sample of scientific articles on…
Histoire environnementale, violence épistémique et contre-récit subalterne. Sur la controverse entourant la chasse au phoque au Canada
Questo articolo indaga la controversia riguardo la caccia alle foche in Canada e le campagne mediatiche “anti-caccia” che si sono susseguite dagli anni Sessanta. La ricerca mette in discussione il quadro di riferimento della storia ambientale, ricollegando la nozione di subalterno al rinnovamento della critica postcoloniale. Alcuni aspetti della controversia sono discussi in quanto testimoniano la mobilitazione socio-politica degli Inuit e l’emer…

Communication studies, disciplination and the ontological stakes of interdisciplinarity
Building on an in-depth analysis of the core literature grappling with the philosophical problematization of communication, this article examines the oft-asserted interdisciplinary nature of communication studies by assessing some of its underlying presuppositions at the ontological and epistemological levels. The article evaluates the coherence of our fragmented discipline through the articulation of the categories of the One and the Multiple in…
Media–state relations in Burundi
Through an analysis of the relations between the state and the media in Burundi, this article aims to problematise these actors' interactions within a context characterised by an asymmetry of power in favour of political authorities and some leeway enjoyed by the media. Through a review of a corpus constituted of scientific literature, reports documenting the situation of press freedom in the country, and newspaper articles, the present article s…
Les technologies numériques au prisme des approches critiques
In this article, the authors show the relevance of a dialogue between several critical perspectives in order to properly analyse the digital information and communications technology (ICT). If the political economy of communication is relevant to highlight the inequalities and power relations in the organization of communication systems, this approach is limited when it comes to taking into account the autonomy of the social agents. They propose …
Bridging Research and Expertise
West Africa, in this article, is used as an analytical framework for examining communication research from a diachronic perspective. The text is based on a literature review through which the author analyzed a corpus on West African work (articles in scientific journals, grey literature, and books on African communication research). After briefly sketching scientific production trends at the continental level, the author provides a historiography…
La communication entre présence et absence
This article deals with certain semiotic issues pertaining to Christianity and Islam in medieval times. The formalization of “holy books” and the definition of “communities of believers” are the objects of struggles that are both material and symbolic. This article begins by presenting three categories of signs: written (holy books), oral (esoteric initiations) and pictorial (religious icons). It then identifies the idea of community as well as t…
La première hégémonie peule
Cet ouvrage traite de la partie la moins connue de l’histoire du Fuuta Tooro, qui va de 1512 à 1807. C’est la première étude scientifique d’importance centrée sur cette période. Est abordé en premier lieu l’ancrage du Fuuta Tooro dans l’Ouest africain où il joue le rôle de réceptacle de toutes les influences socioculturelles de la zone soudano-sahélienne. Du xvie au xviie siècle, l’empire constitué par Koli Tenella exerce une véritable hégémonie …
Les Maures et le Futa-Toro au XVIIIe siècle
O. Kane - The Moors in 18th Century Futa Toro. The fall of the Denyankobe dynasty is to a large extent a consequence of Moorish interventions in the factional quarrels of the Futa Toro kingdom. After 1786 a national reaction led by the marabouts results into the diminution of both the Denyankobe and the Moorish influence
