(Announcement Calenda 1175713)

This 2024-2025 seminar by GREPs (Groupe de recherche sur les écrans et leurs publics) examines the dynamics of confrontation that run through the worlds of cinema and audiovisual media. Placed in context, they reveal the permanent reconfiguration of power relations within multiple social spaces, as well as the intensity of mechanisms for concentrating attention and disseminating certain positions (Quemener 2018), "where the antagonisms that work on the collective are expressed in sometimes virulent and spectacular ways" (Devars and Taieb 2023). As such, polemics and controversies cannot leave anyone indifferent, and are valuable fields of investigation for many disciplines.
