Nineteenth Century Wood Engravers at Work
This paper traces the labour processes and working conditions of wood engravers in France and England during the 19th century as the process of production of the illustrated periodicals became increasingly industrialized. It argues that the bulk of 19th century wood engravers should be considered as one of the first classes of proletarians in the mass media industry. The paper first looks at the general socio-economic conditions from which 19th c…
The illustrated press under siege
During the Franco-Prussian War, Paris was besieged by the Prussians from the middle of September 1870 until the end of January 1871. During most of the period, the main means of transportation – railways, roads, telegraph, bridges, etc. – were cut off by the Prussians. This article shows that, given the elimination of the main means of diffusion of news, some novel strategies were used to preserve a democratic distribution of information. An anal…

Un magazine canadien-français resiste a l'envahisseur
Radiomonde, le premier magazine canadien francophone à avoir traité de Radio, mais aussi de théâtre, est envisagé ici comme outil d'observation de la difficile constitution d'une identité culturelle canadienne française. Il fut en effet le lieu de diverses tensions, voire de contradictions entre une volonté de développer une culture spécifique et celle de se rattacher à une mère-patrie dont le modèle idéologique dominant s'était écarté du clérica…

Hello Central?”
Look Who's Talking
Hello central ? Compagnies de téléphone, abonnés et création d'une culture téléphonique au Canada (1876-1920)
L'article recouvre une période qui va du lancement de la commercialisation du téléphone à l'industrialisation de sa production. Il analyse la relation entre les usagers et les compagnies d'un point de vue politico-économique, en intégrant le rôle des femmes tant au niveau de la production que de l'utilisation du nouvel outil de communication. Cette lecture prend le contre-pied de celle de la compagnie Bell pour qui le développement du téléphone a…

"Hello Central?" Gender, Technology, and Culture in the Formation of the Telephone Systems
Hello, Central?
In most studies of technological development, women are portrayed as passive victims of new technology. In contrast, in "Hello, Central?" Michèle Martin reveals the significant impact women had on the development of telephone systems.
Communication and Social Forms
Rulers of the Wires'? Women's Contribution to the Structure of Means of Communication
Feminisation of the Labour Process in the Communication Industry
This article uses concepts coming from studies of the feminization of different occupations to investigate how the occupation of telephone operator came to be a female job ghetto. Its main theme is that the feminization of operating was central to the rapid growth of the telephone industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Contrary to general findings in the literature on feminization, the study suggests that labelling the ope…
