Le journaliste scientifique a-t-il simplement vocation à rendre compte des controverses? Est-il un acteur à part dans ces débats? Comment rend-il compte des conflits inhérents et de leur dimension « extra-scientifique »? Comment fonctionne la chaîne d'information scientifique face à de tels enjeux économiques et politiques? Les relations entre acteurs, notamment au sein des rédactions, sont-elles reconfigurées en situation de controverse? Pour répondre à ces questions générales, trois études de ces controverses sont ici ciblées, renvoyant à des préoccupations citoyennes majeures : le changement climatique, les perturbateurs endocriniens et les organismes génétiquement modifiés. Une analyse qui permet de mieux comprendre les controverses, les pratiques des journalistes scientifiques et leur place particulière dans une profession en mutation.

Dutch cinema, when discussed, is typically treated only in terms of pre-war films or documentaries, leaving post-war fictional film largely understudied. At the same time, a "Hollandse school," a term first coined in the 1980's, has developed through deadpan, ironic films like those of director and actor Alex van Warmerdam. Using seminal theories on humour and comedy, this book explores a number of Dutch films using the notion of categories, such as low-class comedies, neurotic romances, deliberate camp, and grotesque satire. With its original approach, this study makes surprising connections between Dutch films from various decades.

While the importance of the role of storytelling can hardly be overestimated, the impact of digitalization on this role is more ambivalent. In this second book-length publication of the programme Media and Education in the Digital Age MEDA, the authors take a critical stance towards the alleged emancipative affordances of digital storytelling in education. The collection is inspired by the effort of making professional educators aware of the risks of the digital turn in educational storytelling but also of the opportunities and the conditions for critical engagements. Based on their research and field experience, fifteen scholars discuss in nine chapters these risks and opportunities, providing ideas, evidence, references and inspiration to educators and researchers.
