Speaking About and Through Video Games: Towards Verbalizing a New Grammar by Alexandre Dubois

“…In effect, many renowned video game characters are recognized through their defining actions: while Mario jumps, Sonic runs, Megaman shoots and Solid Snake hides.

National Team of Greece: Gender, Sports, and the Recession by Georgia Aitaki

“…National Team of Greece (2015) was a dramedy broadcast on Greek television revolving around a group of women’s efforts to establish the first Greek women’s curling team, amidst a number of personal challenges and societal obstacles, as much as against the backdrop of a country in deep political and economic crisis.

Au‑delà de la frontière binaire du genre : les personnages sculptés recuay (100‑700 apr. J.‑C., sierra nord-centrale du Pérou) by Alexia Moretti

“…However, it has become a commonplace in pre‑Hispanic studies to recognize that many ancient and ethnographically documented Native American societies perceive sex and gender in a more open and mutable way, as a continuum of possibilities that overstep the boundary of binary gender. Scholars are thus invited to reflect more on the possibilities offered by this fluid and dynamic conception of gender and to include those possibilities in their studies for the restitution of past societies that is more in line with the pre‑Hispanic system of thought. …”

2000-2015 : un âge d’or du format webdocumentaire by Michaël Bourgatte

“…However, from 2015 onwards, the web (or interactive) documentary will experience a clear downturn, which can be explained in several ways: it is technically difficult to create, share and archive; its content is generally serious or scholarly, which distances it from the commonly playful nature of cinema, but also from the most widespread uses of the web, which are essentially recreational; audiences sometimes have difficulty in understanding the proposals made to them; finally, with no economic model and therefore no commercial perspectives, funders will gradually begin to distance themselves from web (or interactive) documentaries…”
