Une guerre sans fin ? L’utopie, la famille, et le monde post 11-Septembre dans Doctor Who de Russel T. Davies
Cet article étudie le positionnement idéologique de la réinvention de la série télévisée britannique de référence Doctor Who par Russell T. Davies. La série revue par Davies rend explicite de manière inhabituelle, par ses thèmes, ses cadres et ses allusions, son rapport à la politique contemporaine : plus précisément les conséquences des attaques d’Al-Qaïda le 11 septembre 2001. À l’instar des séries américaines Heroes et Battlestar Galactica, la…
We were queer first
This article investigates how three of the most popular and influential mainstream American situation comedies of the 1990s ( Seinfeld, Frasier and Friends ) explored and developed societal attitudes to sexual identities.

The Electronic State
This article examines the case of Estonia as one of Europe’s fastest growing informational economies, and asks whether its furious development of new media technologies, as industrial products, commercial resources and political instruments, has necessarily proven as beneficial to society at large as some domestic and international commentators have anticipated. After mapping Estonia’s unique development in embracing new technologies since the mi…
War without End
This essay explores the ideological positioning of Russel T. Davies’s reinvention of the classic British TV series Doctor Who. Davies’s program has announced in its themes, settings, and allusions an unusually direct engagement with contemporary politics: specifically, the repercussions of the Al-Qaeda strikes of September 11, 2001. Like American television’s Heroes and Battlestar Galactica, the new Doctor Who argues against the totalizing strate…
