Médias De Masse

John Durham Peters, professeur d’anglais et d’études cinématographiques et médiatiques à l’université Yale, est connu pour ses travaux sur l’histoire des médias et de la communication. Son premier livre, Speaking into the air: A history of the idea of communication, a connu un succès mondial grâce à son regard transdisciplinaire sur la soif de l’humanité pour une communion qu’elle ne retrouve pas dans les câbles et les signaux, mais dans sa condition humaine même. Dans The Marvelous Clouds: Toward a Philosophy of Elemental Media, il invite les lecteurs à étendre leur conception des médias au-delà des seuls médias de masse. François Cooren, professeur de communication à l’Université de Montréal, a profité d’une conférence de John Durham Peters donnée à l’occasion du 40e anniversaire de son département pour s’entretenir avec lui au sujet de sa conception de la communication. Les deux hommes discutent notamment de la nécessité de dépasser l’opposition entre le monde apparemment immatériel de la communication et le monde matériel qu’elle représenterait. Benjamin Peters, professeur adjoint à l’université de Tulsa, en Oklahoma, les accompagne en partageant son intérêt pour les régimes spatiaux, temporels et de pouvoir qui se tissent autour des médias numériques.

History Of

During the last twenty or twenty-five years medieval historians have been much interested in the composition of the English episcopate. A number of studies of it have been published on periods ranging from the eleventh to the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. A further paper might well seem superfluous. My reason for offering one is that most previous writers have concentrated on analysing the professional circles from which the bishops were drawn, and suggesting the influences which their early careers as royal clerks, university masters and students, secular or regular clergy, may have had on their later work as bishops. They have shown comparatively little interest in their social background and provenance, except for those bishops who belonged to magnate families. Some years ago, when working on the political activities of Edward II's bishops, it seemed to me that social origins, family connexions and provenance might in a number of cases have had at least as much influence on a bishop's attitude to politics as his early career. I there fore collected information about the origins and provenance of these bishops. I now think that a rather more careful and complete study of this subject might throw further light not only on the political history of the reign, but on other problems connected with the character and work of the English episcopate. There is a general impression that in England in the later middle ages the bishops' ties with their dioceses were becoming less close, and that they were normally spending less time in diocesan work than their predecessors in the thirteenth century.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
