    La Revue Internationale des Francophonies cherche à promouvoir le français comme langue-culture à l’attention (comme lecteurs et auteurs) de ces différentes couches de locuteurs « au nom de la diversité des langues et des cultures » (Hagège, 2006) avec les visions du monde et les ontologies que cette langue structure différemment de l’anglais notamment. Ainsi, la revue promeut l’idée que l’on se fait d’une langue (une culture, une histoire, une v…

  • Distance and Connection. Phonograph Records as Narrative Objects in 1940s Cinema

    Open AccessWill StrawARTICLERevue musicale OICRM2023

    This article examines a corpus of American musicals of the 1940s to observe the use made within them of phonograph records. My hypothesis is that, across these films, the phonograph record becomes a key token in the structuring of relationships within narratives. Records function as objects connecting people and places; they become mediators of interpersonal connection and carriers of cultural expression. The article is concerned, in particular, …

  • Bundles and mailings

    Open AccessWill StrawARTICLEDIY Alternative Cultures & Society2023

    This article is concerned with the fanzines published within science fiction fandom from the 1930s onwards. Its focus is on the “amateur press association” (or “apa”) an organizational form for the distribution of fanzines among member-publishers. One variation of the apa is the club-based amateur press association, which emerged in the 1960s as a way of joining fanzine publishing to the in-person sociability of the science fiction club. The stat…

  • Gathering up the Social

    Will StrawARTICLEEthnologies2023

    In the 1920s, the modern “nightlife” column emerged as a regular feature of metropolitan newspapers in the United States and other countries. This article looks at nightlife columns in the African-American press. Its central focus is the coverage of the urban night in the Inter-State Tattler, a weekly periodical published in Harlem between 1922 and 1932. It suggests that, in the African-American press more generally, during this period, one sees …

  • Blockchain Scenes

    Over the last fifteen years, the development of blockchain technologies has attracted a large volume of professional expertise, capital investment and media attention. This burgeoning sector of technology practices has coalesced around a few major initiatives (Bitcoin, Ethereum), but it is still moving at a fast pace and its configuration is evolving. If this sector is marked by a variety of technological protocols, financial arrangements and org…

  • La prostituée dans la nuit

    Open AccessWill StrawARTICLETangence2022

    Cet article examine la figure de la travailleuse du sexe telle qu’elle est représentée dans la culture imprimée à sensation du Québec des années 1940 et 1950. Il se concentre sur deux périodes successives de l’histoire de la culture imprimée québécoise : d’abord, la période 1942-1947, représentée par le périodique Police Journal , qui, à mi-chemin entre le journal et le magazine, propose un regard réformiste sur la moralité du Québec avec des rep…

  • Tabloid porn in Quebec

    Will StrawARTICLEPorn Studies2022Referências: 3

    In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Canadian region of Quebec saw a proliferation of tabloid newspapers, of uniform dimensions, covering a wide range of sensational genres (such as crime and celebrity gossip). Increasingly explicit content of a sexual character cut across these genres, marking each of these genres with elements of the pornographic. At the same time, a number of tabloid papers emerged devoted exclusively to sexual content, typi…

  • Assemblages intermédiaux

    Will StrawARTICLECommunication & langages2021

    Que dire de ces exemples de médias dans lesquels un médium « héberge » un autre, qui est attaché à ses premières pages, caché en son centre, ou inscrit dans sa textualité même ? Cet article examine plusieurs cas d’attachement « prothétique » d’un support à l’autre. Dans certains cas, ces médiums joints servent simplement à augmenter l’attrait d’un média pour les acheteurs potentiels, comme lorsqu’un journal offre un CD de musique gratuit à ses le…

  • Pathways of Cultural Movement

    Will StrawCHAPTERAccounting for Culture2018

    In 1997, the Swedish ethnologist Orvar Lofgren invited scholars to study the ways in which cultural artefacts move through the spaces of national cultures. Research on culture, he argued, should direct its attention to “the ways in which national differences become embedded in the materialities of everyday life, found not only in the rhetoric of flag-waving and public rituals, but also in the national trajectories of commodities.” What is novel h…

  • Nuits et montagnes. Premières explorations d’une double frontière

    Open AccessLuc Gwiazdzinski, Will StrawARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2018Referências: 4

    La nuit est longtemps restée un espace-temps peu investi par l'activité humaine, un temps d’arrêt, une « frontière » – au sens américain et colonialiste du terme de « front pionnier », c’est-à-dire « la limite atteinte par la mise en valeur, l’avancée des colons qui viennent établir une colonie sur des terres jusque-là vides ou peu peuplées » (Brunet, 1992), un front où l’on affronte non les voisins, mais l’inconnu, un territoire à explorer. Mais…

  • Nights and Mountains. Preliminary Explorations of a Double Frontier

    Open AccessLuc Gwiazdzinski, Will StrawARTICLERevue de géographie alpine2018Citada por: 1Referências: 4

    The night has long been a time-space marked by the low investment of human activity -a time of pausing, a border , in the American sense of frontier, a limit reached through the exploitation and advancement of colonizers looking to establish outposts in lands hitherto empty or sparsely populated" It has been a limit at which one encounters not one's neighbours but the unknown -the mark, in other words, of a territory to be explored. Times have ch…

  • Improvisation and Social Aesthetics

    Open AccessGeorgina Born, Eric Lewis et al.BOOKImprovisation and Social Aesthetics2017

    Addressing a wide range of improvised art and music forms—from jazz and cinema to dance and literature—this volume's contributors locate improvisation as a key site of mediation between the social and the aesthetic. As a catalyst for social experiment and political practice, improvisation aids in the creation, contestation, and codification of social realities and identities. Among other topics, the contributors discuss the social aesthetics of t…

  • Scènes

    Open AccessWill Straw, Jonathan RouleauARTICLECahiers de recherche sociologique2016

    Cet article soutient que la littérature savante sur l’étude des scènes est marquée par une divergence entre deux façons de les concevoir. Les conceptualisations « ouvertes » de la scène la traite comme une manifestation large de l’urbanité, comme partie intégrante de la théâtralité de la vie urbaine. Une « scène », en ce sens, est engagée dans l’insufflation au sein des citadins des valeurs et protocoles éthiques de l’urbanité. Les conceptions « …

  • The Sporting Pornographer

    Will StrawARTICLEMedia History2016

    The unexamined career of Joseph Burten (né Joseph G. Bernstein) allows us to trace the shifting terrain of semi-pornographic publishing in the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s. As a war veteran, ex-football player and resident of Greenwich Village, Burten serves as a link between the bohemian magazine of the mid-1920s and the increasingly pornographic periodical of the 1930s and 1940s

  • Mediality and the Music Chart

    Will StrawARTICLESubStance2015

    Mediality and the Music Chart Will Straw (bio) One lingering, unresolved dimension of intermediality theory is the status of mediality itself. Typically, the concept of intermediality is offered as a challenge to the idea that media exist as "isolated monads" (Mueller 105); the task of the analyst then becomes that of thinking through the variety of relationships between them. The risk is that this conception of intermediality may work to hyposta…
