Fields of research

My research topics are about the public policies of support for culture and to the socio-economy of the media. Two directions can be distinguished :

1. POLITICAL ECONOMY OF CULTURAL INDUSTRIES

 
  • Cultural policies / evaluation of the public policies of support for cultural industries : definition of the themes privileged by the commissions of support, stakes of the official supervisions, qualitative indicators about films / artists granted.

  • Economy of cinema and television: Advances on receipts, support of French hertzian televisions in film production funding, France-Hollywood relations. Evaluation of the impact of the Canal+ chain in the public policy of support for the French cinema in the Eighties and Nineties. Evaluation of the impact of the exchange of cultural files in “peer to peer”.

  • Institutional history of the cinema : history of relations between state and cinema in France. History of film-exhibition in france.
 
 
2. SOCIO-ECONOMY OF CULTURE AND MEDIA

 
  • Political sociology of culture : comparative approach between cinema industry social movements in France / European countries and USA. Origins of cultural exceptionalism in France (French cinema). Relations between cinema and national identity.

  • Sociology of the expertise in the support for the culture and the media : professional commissions, networks, trade unions, lobbying, processes of legitimation of the choices, social stakes of the media.
