Resume Depuis le debut de l’ere industrielle, les activites humaines ont entraine une augmentation significative de la concentration des gaz a effets de serre dans l’atmosphere (en particulier le CO2). L’accumulation de ces gaz est responsable du rechauffement climatique qui provoque a son tour intensification des evenements climatiques extremes, elevation globale du niveau de la mer, rechauffement et acidification des oceans, reduction de la biodiversite. Ces desequilibres du systeme climatique impact la sante des populations de facon directe (a travers la hausse des temperatures et la multiplication des evenements climatiques extremes). Mais surtout de facon indirecte, d’une part via leurs ses effets sur les systemes naturels (pollution de l’air, rarefaction des ressources en eau, exacerbation de l’insecurite alimentaire, modification de la distribution des vecteurs et des pathogenes) ; et, d’autre part via leurs effets sur les determinants socio-economiques (limitation de l’acces aux soins, exacerbation de conflits geopolitiques, migrations forcees de population). Ces impacts se traduisent par : une augmentation de la mortalite cardiovasculaire, une exacerbation des pathologie respiratoires (BPCO, asthme, allergies), une augmentation du risque d’insuffisance renale chez certaines populations, une modification de l’epidemiologie des maladies zoonotiques et a transmission vectorielle (Dengue, Chikungunya, Paludisme, Leptospirose, Hantavirus, Lyme), une augmentation du risque des maladies a transmission hydrique, des effets negatifs sur la sante mentale des individus. La lutte contre le changement climatique permettra de limiter ces impacts et d’ameliorer la sante globale des populations.

Purpose: General practitioners (GPs) could play a role in mitigating climate change by raising awareness of its impact on human health and implementing changes to improve population health and decreasing environmental footprints. The aim of this study was to assess GPs’ knowledge and perspectives about the health impacts of climate change. Method: A questionnaire was sent to 1972 GPs in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Knowledge of the impact of environmental degradations and climate change on health and willingness to address climate change with patients, to be exemplary and to act as role models were surveyed as well as demographic characteristics of GPs. Results: Respondents (N = 497) expressed a high level of self-reported knowledge regarding climate change, although it was lower for more specific topics, such as planetary health or health–environment co-benefits. Participants mostly agreed that it is necessary to adapt clinical practice to the health impacts of climate change and that they have a role in providing information on climate change and its links to human health. Conclusion: Most of the GPs were concerned about environmental and climate degradation. However, this study revealed a gap between the willingness of GPs to integrate the impact of climate change on health into their clinical activities and their lack of overall knowledge and scientific evidence on effective interventions. A promising way forward may be to develop co-benefit interventions adapted to the clinical setting on diet, active mobility and connecting with nature.

Health professionals are well placed to play a key role in educating people about climate and health. This article maps existing climate change education in medical as well as public health programs, identifies gaps and proposes possible improvements. It is essential that climate and health education enter the broader curriculum as this will also be a foundational part of education and help build the next generation of global expertise needed to create a healthier and more sustainable future.

Throughout recent years, we have witnessed an increase in human migration as a result of conflict, political instability and changes in the climate. Despite the growing number of migrants and refugees, provisions to address their health needs remain inadequate and often unmet. Whilst a variety of instruments exist to assert and emphasise the importance for migrant and refugee health, the lack of shared priorities between partners and stakeholders results in poor access to healthcare and essential medicines. In response to the growing health challenges faced by migrants and refugees, members of the M8 Alliance launched an annual Expert Meeting on Migrants’ and Refugees’ Health. This report is shaped by discussions from the second M8 Alliance Expert Meeting (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, 15–16 June 2018) and is supported by supplementing literature to develop a framework addressing critical reflections, challenges and solutions of and for migrant and refugee health. This report aims to inform decision-making fostering a humanitarian, ethics and rights-based approach. Through a series of country-specific case studies and discussions, this report captures the most prominent themes and recommendations such as mental health, tuberculosis (TB) and best practices for increased access.

The negative implications of climate change for human health are now well-established. Yet these have not been fully considered into climate change communication strategies. Research suggests that reorienting climate change communication with a health frame could be a useful communication strategy. We conducted a long-term and broad overview of existing scientific literature in order to summarize the state of research activity in this area, by extent and by nature. The methodology is based on a scoping review of scientific articles published on climate change communication and health between 1990 and mid-2016 indexed in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases. The screened citations were reviewed for inclusion and data were extracted and coded in order to conduct quantitative (e.g. frequencies) and qualitative (i.e. content analysis) analyses.Out of 2,866 identified published papers, only 24 articles were eligible for analyses. The main themes identified were effective communication of climate change (n=10, 41.7%), the role of health professionals (n=10, 41.7%) and the perception of climate change (n=4, 16.7%). We identified a large proportion of secondary research articles (n= 15, 62.5%) including reviews (n=5, 20.8%) and opinion articles (n=10, 41.7%). A significant share - 37.57% (n=9) - of the identified articles were classified as original research articles, suggesting that the number of publications in this area - particularly original research - has not grown rapidly.This scoping review identified several themes including effective communication of climate change, the role of health professionals, and the perception of climate change in the selected articles on the subject. The research literature on the communication of climate change and health is relatively recent and emerging: the first articles on the subject were published from 2008 onward only.

We need to rapidly detect and respond to public rumours, perceptions, attitudes and behaviours around COVID-19 and control measures. The creation of an interactive platform and dashboard to provide real-time alerts of rumours and concerns about coronavirus spreading globally would enable public health officials and relevant stakeholders to respond rapidly with a proactive and engaging narrative that can mitigate misinformation.

The Lancet Countdown: tracking progress on health and climate change was established to provide an independent, global monitoring system dedicated to tracking the health dimensions of the impacts of, and the response to, climate change. The Lancet Countdown tracks 41 indicators across five domains: climate change impacts, exposures, and vulnerability; adaptation, planning, and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co-benefits; finance and economics; and public and political engagement. This report is the product of a collaboration of 27 leading academic institutions, the UN, and intergovernmental agencies from every continent. The report draws on world-class expertise from climate scientists, ecologists, mathematicians, geographers, engineers, energy, food, livestock, and transport experts, economists, social and political scientists, public health professionals, and. doctors. The Lancet Countdown’s work builds on decades of research in this field, and was first proposed in the 2015 Lancet Commission on health and climate change,1 which documented the human impacts of climate change and provided ten global recommendations to respond to this public health emergency and secure the public health benefits available (panel 1).

Despite the greatly increased numbers of migrants and refugees worldwide in recent years, insufficient attention has been paid to addressing their health needs. While a variety of international instruments assert the right to health, in practice, migrants and refugees—especially those awaiting clarification of their status, such as asylum seekers and those without documentation—often fall in cracks between service providers and humanitarian relief programmes at national and regional levels. This report provides a summary of the current state of knowledge regarding the health issues of migrants and refugees and of the extent to which they are being met. It highlights, through a series of case studies, the diverse approaches to policies, entitlements and services provided in different jurisdictions, ranging from regional (Europe) and country (Germany, Iran, Italy, Turkey, South Africa) levels to provinces and cities (Quebec/Montreal, Berlin). These provide evidence of successes and challenges and highlight areas requiring further effort, including in the domains of policy, service design and delivery, education and training, research and communication. They also underscore the challenges of highly neglected aspects such as mental health and the critical importance of developing cultural/transnational competence in the health professional individuals and institutions working with migrants and refugees. Results from discussions taking place in an M8 Alliance Expert Group Meeting (Rome, 23–24 June 2017) and from the literature are synthesised to develop an ‘agenda of solutions’. This agenda aims to provide a comprehensive framework, which bridges humanitarian, ethical and rights-based imperatives to provide a framework for action to tackle this crucial area.

Graphs are prevalent in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), often depicting key points and major results. However, the popularity of graphs in the IPCC reports contrasts with a neglect of empirical tests of their understandability. Here we put the understandability of three graphs taken from the Health chapter of the Fifth Assessment Report to an empirical test. We present a pilot study where we evaluate objective understanding (mean accuracy in multiple-choice questions) and subjective understanding (self-assessed confidence in accuracy) in a sample of attendees of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Marrakesh, 2016 (COP22), and a student sample. Results show a mean objective understanding of M = 0.33 for the COP sample, and M = 0.38 for the student sample. Subjective and objective understanding were unrelated for the COP22 sample, but associated for the student sample. These results suggest that (i) understandability of the IPCC health chapter graphs is insufficient, and that (ii) particularly COP22 attendees lacked insight into which graphs they did, and which they did not understand. Implications for the construction of graphs to communicate health impacts of climate change to decision-makers are discussed.

To teach the basics of climate change and health - such as the nature of health impacts, best practices in adoption strategies and promotion in health co-benefits, mitigation and adaptation strategies - we have developed three massive open online courses (MOOCs). We analysed the three MOOCs with regards to different factors such as course content, student motivation, instructor behaviour, co-learner effects, design and implementation effects. We conducted online surveys for all three MOOCs based on the research model of Hone et al., extended with regards to student's motivation and course outcomes. In total, we evaluated 6898 students, of which 101 students took part in the online survey. We found differences in completion rates and country of origin for the three MOOCs. The francophone MOOC was found to have a high number of participants from lower-income- and low-and-middle-income countries. The majority of participants were aged between 22 and 40 years of age and had mainly a graduate educational background. The primary motivation to join the MOOC was the knowledge and skills gained as a result of taking the course. The three MOOCs on climate change and health had a reach of almost 7000 students worldwide, as compared to the scope of a face-to-face course on the same topic of 30 students, including students from resource-low environments that are already vulnerable to current changes in climate. The evaluation of the MOOCs outlined the current impact. However, further research has to be conducted to be able to get insights into the impact over time.

BACKGROUND The impact of climate change on health, adaptation measures and health co-benefits of mitigation have not been taught as topics in conventional face-to-face courses, such as in stand-alone, accredited short courses or as modules in Masters or PhD-level courses. Educational technologies such as massive open online courses (MOOCs) have high potential to substantially accelerate the dissemination of knowledge on the nexus of climate change and health. We developed three MOOCs teaching on the link between climate change and health. OBJECTIVE We conducted an online survey study to evaluate instructor-to-learner interaction (ITI), instructor support (IS), instructor feedback (IF), learner-to-learner interaction (LLI), course content (CC), course structure (CS), information delivery technology (IDT), perceived effectiveness (PE), learner retention (LR), as well as self-reported learner retention (SRLR). What did participants learn? Who and how many registered from the global North and South? What was the completion rate and how does it compare to average completion rates of MOOCs? What is the impact of knowledge acquired? METHODS Participants of all three MOOCs were invited to a post online survey study or the three climate change and health MOOCs. The survey consisted mainly out of no/yes/other and free text questions, as well as five five-point Likert items. We collected demographic information about education, age, gender, country of origin and current place of living. RESULTS In total, the MOOCs had a reach of almost 7000 students worldwide. 188 students took part in the online survey, with the highest percentage of MOOC-survey participants from low-income countries. The MOOCs were seen as useful, especially with regards to their professional impact, their coverage of content and their up-to-dateness in the topic area of climate change and health. The francophone MOOC was found to have an extraordinarily high number of participants from lower-income- and low-and-middle-income countries. The primary motivation to join the MOOC was to gain knowledge and skills on the topic of climate change and health. CONCLUSIONS Health is a top priority for citizens worldwide, and our results show that (i) globally there is great interest in the topic of climate change and health and (ii) that the three MOOCs were adequate to teach a global and diverse audience in this topic, reaching even participants from resource-low countries. Therefore, MOOCs should be included in the discussion on how to disseminate knowledge and methodological expertise globally, as they are an effective mean to explain and teach about the complex links and dynamics between climate change and health.

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) give the opportunity to engage and teach a global audience into the rationale and arguments of climate change and its impact on health. We want to describe the possibilities of MOOCs for climate change education on the example of three MOOCs on climate change and health that were offered on the online learning platform iversity and FUN-MOOC: one MOOC was designed for a broader audience without prior requirements in the area of climate system and climate change. The learning target was health impacts worldwide, best practices in adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as the promotion of health co-benefits. This MOOC was subtitled in ten different languages. An executive MOOC was targeted at policy makers as part of their conference briefing for the climate conference COP21 in Paris in 2015. The key arguments of the MOOC included the development of climate policies and their fair share of the burden and benefits, as well as scientific evidence behind the four key arguments based on human health for climate policy (Sauerborn 2016a, b). The third MOOC focused again on a broader audience on climate change and health within an African context for a francophone audience. In the following, we introduce MOOCs for teaching climate change education to a global audience, also with a focus on developing countries, followed by a description of the three MOOCs on the topic of climate change and health in more detail with regards to their contents, participant demographics, retention rate and encountered challenges. We discuss our findings with regards to all three MOOCs and will give insights into practices for employing MOOCs in climate change education, for developed and developing countries.

While until recently the small and isolated Zika outbreaks in Eastern Asia and Pacific islands had been overlooked, the large-scale outbreak that started in Brazil in 2015 and the increase of microcephaly cases in the same place and time made media headlines. Considered as harmless until recently, Zika has given rise to an important global crisis that poses not only health challenges but also environmental, economical, social, and ethical challenges for states and people around the world. The main objective of this paper is to review the recent Zika outbreak by covering a broad range of disciplines and their interactions. This paper synthetises experts’ interviews and reactions conducted during a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) entitled “In the footsteps of Zika…approaching the unknown.” It reviews knowledge and uncertainties around epidemiology, geographical dispersion of the virus and its vectors through globalization and climate change, and also its modes of transmission, diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment of the disease. The resulting societal and ethical issues in pregnancy and women of reproductive age were also addressed as well as the global outbreak alert and response network in international organizations and social media. This paper attempted to combine each piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the Zika phenomenon to complete the best realistic picture, while keeping in mind the balance between the interdisciplinary nature and international context of Zika and its unique characteristics.

The Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health and Climate Change is an international, multi-disciplinary research collaboration between academic institutions and practitioners across the world. It follows on from the work of the 2015 Lancet Commission, which concluded that the response to climate change could be “the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century”. The Lancet Countdown aims to track the health effects of climate change; health resilience and adaptation; health co-benefits of mitigation; climate economics and finance; and political and broader engagement. These focus areas form the five thematic working groups of the Lancet Countdown and represent different aspects of the complex relationships between health and climate change. These thematic groups will provide indicators for a global overview of health and climate change; national case studies highlighting countries leading the way or going against the trend; and engagement with a range of stakeholders. The Lancet Countdown ultimately aims to report annually on a series of indicators across these five working groups. This paper outlines these potential indicators and indicator domains to be tracked by the collaboration, with suggestions on the methodologies, and data sets available to achieve this end. The proposed indicator domains require further refinement, and mark the beginning of an ongoing consultation process – from November 2016 to early 2017 – to develop these domains, identify key areas not currently covered, and change indicators where necessary. It will actively seek to engage with existing monitoring processes, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and the World Health Organization’s Climate and Health Country Profiles. Additionally, the indicators will evolve throughout their lifetime through ongoing collaboration with experts and a range of stakeholders, and dependent on the emergence of new evidence and knowledge. During the course of its work, the Lancet Countdown will adopt a collaborative and iterative process, which aims to complement existing initiatives, welcome engagement with new partners, and be open to developing new research projects on health and climate change.

In 2009, scientists argued that climate change was the ‘biggest global health threat of the 21st century’,1 and 6 years later ‘the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century’.2 While a minority of populations may experience health benefits (mostly due to a reduction in diseases related to cold weather), the global burden of disease and premature death is expected to increase progressively.3 For instance, one study showed that heat-related deaths would be expected to rise by around 257% by the 2050s from a current annual baseline of approximately 2000 deaths.4 Much of the policy development on climate change comes from the negotiations between the 195 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), working towards a common long-term vision of limiting global warming. The 21th Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris in December 2015 was one milestone in the fight against climate change, as all countries agreed to take action by curbing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and keep global warming well below 2°C. The agreement also included a regular review of national commitments every 5 years to check progress. Moreover, it represented an important step to protect and promote health in the face of climate change: for the first time ‘the right to health’ was mentioned in the global agreement on climate change. The WHO referred to the COP21 as ‘a historic win for human health’, and this climate treaty might actually become a public health treaty as countries take action to develop adaptation plans that will protect human health from the worst impacts of climate change.5 This opinion article seeks to present the role of health concerns in the scientific debates on climate change, but also in actual climate policies and international negotiations. ### Climate change-related health concerns in scientific debates Awareness of the health risks caused by …

Among the accepted ideas on the subject of the museography of fine arts, there is one that constantly recurs: visitors almost never read displayed texts. What is worse, their presence tends to distract visitors from the contemplation of masterpieces. Does the systematic observation of public behavior in a very large museum in Paris and interviews with small groups of French and foreign visitors confirm this suspicion? To answer this question, our team undertook two parallel series of investigations: one on the techniques employed in written signage design within this museum, and the other using observation and semi-directed interviews conducted with a random sample that distinguished between French and foreign visitors. Many categories of comments emerge from this research, all of which concern types of relationships between written signage and activities the public may undertake to appreciate works of art. This inquiry allows us to: (1) identify the elements of complexity in the museum's written...

Introduction For 28 years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been assessing the potential risks associated with anthropogenic climate change. Although interest in climate change and health is growing, the implications arising from their interaction remain understudied. Generating a greater understanding of the health impacts of climate change could be key step in inciting some of the changes necessary to decelerate global warming. A long-term and broad overview of the existing scientific literature in the field of climate change and health is currently missing in order to ensure that all priority areas are being adequately addressed. In this paper we outline our methods to conduct a scoping review of the published peer-reviewed literature on climate change and health between 1990 and 2015. Methods and analysis A detailed search strategy will be used to search the PubMed and Web of Science databases. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria will be applied in order to capture the most relevant literature in the time frame chosen. Data will be extracted, categorised and coded to allow for statistical analysis of the results. Ethics and dissemination No ethical approval was required for this study. A searchable database of climate change and health publications will be developed and a manuscript will be complied for publication and dissemination of the findings. We anticipate that this study will allow us to map the trends observed in publications over the 25-year time period in climate change and health research. It will also identify the research areas with the highest volume of publications as well as highlight the research trends in climate change and health.

Le MOOC a souvent été présenté dans le discours médiatique comme l’enjeu d’une triple révolution : révolution du modèle communicationnel et médiatique (« open » et « online »), révolution du type de relation pédagogique (« participation » et « interactivité ») et révolution des rôles de l’enseignant et de l’apprenant (« classe inversée » et « disparition de l’enseignant »). À travers l’étude approfondie du premier MOOC hébergé sur la plateforme FUN, cet article montre que ces grandes proclamations ne tiennent pas d’un point de vue énonciatif et rhétorique. La verticalité postulée du cours magistral ne s’efface pas en faveur d’une relation purement « horizontale » d’enseignement. Remédié par le dispositif à la fois audiovisuel et numérique, le corps de l’enseignant se donne à voir à travers une gamme variée de gestes énonciatifs. Loin de disparaître, l’ethos professoral se reconfigure en faveur d’une polyphonie et d’une « polytopie » qui lui font occuper plusieurs « places » discursives et éditoriales. C’est un autre dispositif de magistralité qui se construit alors à l’écran. The MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) has often been presented in media discourse as a triple challenge “revolution”: a revolution of the communicational and media models (“open” and “online”), a revolution of pedagogical relations (“participation” and “interactivity”), and a revolution of the roles of teacher and student (“reversed class” and “disappearance of teachers”). Through an in-depth study of the first MOOC hosted on the platform FUN, this article shows that these bold proclamations are not supported by a rhetorical and enunciative point of view. The verticality of the traditional lecture is not replaced or rendered obsolete by purely “horizontal” teaching. With the use of audiovisual and digital tools, the teacher can be seen through a wide range of enunciation gestures. Far from disappearing, the academic ethos is reconfigured for a polyphony and a “polytopy” which allows for several discursive and editorial “roles”. It is another pedagogical device that is constructed on the screen.

En septembre 1996, Marie Darrieussecq provoque l'engouement des médias avec la sortie de Truismes. Pour qualifier la publication de ce premier roman, les journalistes valsent alors entre « événement littéraire » et « événement médiatique ». Mais qu'y a-t-il derrière ces étiquettes ? Au fond, qu'est-ce qu'un « événement littéraire » et quelles sont les conditions qui permettent à un livre de « faire événement » ? Partant, quel est le rôle des médias dans ce processus de fabrication de l'événement ? Grâce à une lecture attentive des articles consacrés à Truismes, en soulignant la complexité du traitement médiatique du fait littéraire, l'auteur met à jour la « petite fabrique de l'événement littéraire » qui bruisse d'aise à chaque rentrée... littéraire. À travers l'analyse de la production médiatique, Anneliese Depoux pose ainsi les jalons indispensables à la formulation de la difficile question de la « reconnaissance littéraire » et, au-delà, de celle, plus fondamentale encore, de la catégorisation des textes qui fonde notre rapport à leur perception., Depoux Anneliese. La fabrique de l'événement littéraire : le cas de Truismes. In: Communication et langages, n°142, 4ème trimestre 2004. Dossier : Le signe en scène, un enjeu politique. pp. 71-83.

Les écrivains, qu'ils bénéficient ou non de la reconnaissance institutionnelle académique, font l'objet d'une patrimonialisation qui dépasse le cadre strict de la lecture de leurs œuvres. Les musées littéraires constituent l'une de ces modalités de médiatisation de la littérature hors des textes. Ces lieux de médiation culturelle entretiennent la mémoire des écrivains et contribuent à la muséographisation de notre culture littéraire ; ils cristallisent un certain nombre de nos représentations de la littérature et contribuent à leur manière à la transmission d'un patrimoine symbolique. Anneliese Depoux explicite ici cette construction à propos d'un cas particulier, le musée Joachim du Bellay à Liré, montrant que les partis pris muséographiques correspondent à une conception délibérée du littéraire, qui peut se rapprocher d'une réflexion plus générale sur l'enseignement de la littérature aujourd'hui., Depoux Anneliese.

The translation of science from research to real-world change is a central goal of public health. Communication has an essential role to play in provoking a response to climate change. It must first raise awareness, make people feel involved and ultimately motivate them to take action. The goal of this research is to understand how the information related to this issue is being addressed and disseminated to different audiences-public citizens, politicians and key climate change stakeholders. Initial results show that the scientific voice struggles to globally highlight this issue to a general audience and that messages that address the topic do not meet the challenges, going from a dramatic framing to a basic adaptation framing. Communication experts can help inform scientists and policy makers on how to best share information about climate change in an engaging and motivating way. This study gives an insight about the key role of the media and communications in addressing themes relating to climate change and transmitting information to the public in order to take action.

Ce mémoire s’intéresse aux Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) dans le milieu culturel. À travers une étude de cas sur le MOOC Les Origines de l’Homme entre Orange et le Musée de l’Homme, l’hybridité de ce nouveau dispositif pédagogique est mise en perspective. Entre outil de communication et outil pédagogique, le MOOC apparaît non seulement être une innovation pour l’enseignement mais également un outil communicationnel au service de son marché : l’éducation.Cette approche a pour objectif de traiter plusieurs questions relatives au MOOC notamment économiques et sociales, tout en détaillant ses spécificités et ses invariants. Le prisme culturel permet, entre autres, d’observer l’adaptabilité de ces cours en ligne à l’environnement des institutions. Selon les institutions, les cours peuvent ainsi se moduler, dans leur forme et leur contenu. À travers le MOOC, les institutions peuvent donc véhiculée une image. Une analyse sémiologique des vidéos, des newsletters et du site du MOOC Les Origines de l’Homme met ainsi en exergue la retranscription des caractéristiques des musées scientifiques sur ce nouvel outil numérique.

International audience; Le Savon de Ponge est un texte fascinant du point de vue de ses ancrages médiatiques : tour à tour texte radiophonique, texte de théâtre, notes de journal, poème typographique, il finit par trouver sa place et sa forme définitives dans le livre. D’une part ce texte révèle la profondeur de la réflexion médiologique de Ponge et la mise en œuvre effective de cette dernière dans le travail de composition du texte et dans sa mise en livre. D’autre part, il montre combien le choix d’un support d’écriture et de diffusion des textes est lié à un positionnement dans le champ littéraire.

International audience; Poser la question des rapports entre poésie et Internet, c'est étudier non seulement une forme d'art, mais aussi un contexte médiatique. C'est donc sortir de l'approche immanentiste, ou interne, des textes, pour entrer dans une étude de leurs médiations, et dans une réflexion qui mesure la place des questions de publication et d'édition, de médiatisation et de circulation dans la production des textes, en observant la valeur sociale, la valeur idéologique des pratiques d'écriture.
