(Română) DE LA MULTIPLICATION DES IMAGES ET DES MEDIAS
Posted On Nov 10 2015Much research has been done to explain in all ways possible our relationships with images. But what if the explanations that have been suggested so far were false or incomplete? Could it be possible that our relation to images not be linked to their content? Could it be possible that their abundant presence be in direct association with the structure of our subconscious?

DISSOLUTION OU RESTRUCTURATION D’IDENTITÉ DANS LA COMMUNE RURALE DE MATEEŞTI, DÉP. DE VÂLCEA?
Posted On Oct 17 2011Dans un pays de villages qui depuis deux cents ans lutte pour devenir urbain (moderne), la commune de Mateeşti suit le chemin bien connu de l’accumulation effrénée et de la parade de symboles spécifiquement urbains. Les médias y jouent un rôle décisif. Les produits médiatiques préférés sont ceux déjà adoptés par les catégories sociales récemment et / ou incomplètement urbanisées.

Les traditions – …
