  • Le Journaliste Sportif Est-Il Un Journaliste Comme Les Autres ?
    2018 Mémoire de fin d’études Mastère « Journalisme de sport » Le journaliste sportif est-il un journaliste comme les autres ? PRESENTE PAR SYLVAIN FALCOZ DIRECTEUR DE MEMOIRE : YASMINA TOUAIBIA Promotion Pierre Barbancey 1 Résumé L’étude qui va être menée dans les pages suivantes vise à questionner la place et la reconnaissance du journaliste sportif vis-à-vis de ses confrères des autres rubriques. L’analyse de la manière dont il travaille, le rapport qu’il entretient avec ses sources, permettront notamment de comprendre quelles sont ses spécificités, et de déterminer s’il est réellement un journaliste comme les autres. Chaque été, principalement les années où se déroulent des événements sportifs planétaires (Jeux Olympiques, Coupe du Monde de football…) le journaliste sportif est mis sur le devant de la scène. Et ce d’autant plus que la période estivale n’est pas toujours la plus faste en matière d’actualité journalistique. Mais bien souvent, la mise en lumière de ces conteurs du sport ne leur est pas forcément bénéfique. Raillé pour son chauvinisme exacerbé, sa proximité avec les athlètes ou ses envolées lyriques, le journaliste sportif n’a pas toujours bonne presse. Etroitement lié à son objet d’étude, à ses traditions, et à ce qu’on aurait coutume d’appeler « la grande famille du sport », ce dernier s’est construit à travers des singularités qui permettent de se demander s’il exerce en tous points le même métier que ces nombreux confrères. Summary The following study aims at questionning on the place and recognition of the sports journalist with respect to his colleagues working in the other sections.

Sounding Nostalgia In Post-World War I Paris Abstract In the years that immediately followed the Armistice of November 11, 1918, Paris was at a turning point in its history: the aftermath of the Great War overlapped with the early stages of what is commonly perceived as a decade of rejuvenation. This transitional period was marked by tension between the preservation (and reconstruction) of a certain prewar heritage and the negation of that heritage through a series of social and cultural innovations. In this dissertation, I examine the intricate role that nostalgia played across various conflicting experiences of sound and music in the cultural institutions and popular media of the city of Paris during that transition to peace, around 1919-1920. I show how artists understood nostalgia as an affective concept and how they employed it as a creative resource that served multiple personal, social, cultural, and national functions. Rather than using the term “nostalgia” as a mere diagnosis of temporal longing, I revert to the capricious definitions of the early twentieth century in order to propose a notion of nostalgia as a set of interconnected forms of longing.

    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

Denn während manch andere sich mit einem beliebigen Hopfen begnügen, haben wir nur eins im Sinn – beste Zutaten. Alles für diesen Moment: Liebe Zuschauer, herzlich begrüße ich Sie heute zum WM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen Wales. Nach dem wichtigen 2:1-Sieg am vergange- nen Samstag gegen Russland steht die deutsche Nationalmannschaft weiterhin an der Tabellenspitze und auf dieser Position möchte sie natürlich auch gerne in die Winterpause gehen. Gerade die starke Leistung in der ersten Halbzeit in Dortmund stimmt optimistisch, dass der dazu notwendige Erfolg gegen Wales in Mönchengladbach rea- lisiert werden kann. Gleichzeitig von großem Interesse ist an diesem Mittwoch das für das Tabellenbild in der WM-Qualifikation äußerst spannende Duell zwischen den Russen und den bisher noch ungeschlagenen Finnen in Moskau. Bei aller Freude über den Sieg im „Gipfeltreffen“ am Samstag über Russland wird unser Team mit Sicherheit heute die Waliser nicht unterschätzen. Zwar ist die Länderspiel-Bilanz gegen die Gäste von der Insel positiv, denn in 15 Begegnungen wurde bisher nur zweimal verloren, aber besonders das 0:0 im letzten Aufeinandertreffen in der EM-Qualifikation am 21. November 2007 in Frankfurt am Main hat gezeigt, dass sie immer für eine Überraschung gut sind.

  • Article Facebook GIFFARD.Pdf
    Le saviez-vous ? Il existe un point commun entre ces disciplines sportives aussi différentes que « la petite reine », la course automobile, le marathon de Paris et la marche de fond : leur créateur, Pierre GIFFARD. Si l’histoire n’a retenu que le nom de Pierre de Coubertin à l’origine du sport moderne avec la rénovation des Jeux Olympiques en 1896, en cette fin de XIXème siècle, le grand public ne vibrait qu’au rythme des exploits des évènements sportifs créés de toutes pièces par un grand reporter et organisateur de génie : Pierre GIFFARD. L’expression « la petite reine », teintée de beaucoup d’affection pour désigner dans le langage populaire la bicyclette, provient d’un de ses nombreux ouvrages « La Reine Bicyclette » dont la couverture était une jeune femme portant au-dessus de sa tête un vélo. Pierre GIFFARD, rédacteur en chef du quotidien « Le Petit Journal », comprit très vite que pour doper ses ventes il ne fallait plus courir après l’actualité mais tout simplement la créer. C’est ainsi, qu’en 1891, il organisa la plus longue épreuve cycliste non-stop de l’histoire « Paris-Brest-Paris » ; en 1892, la première compétition de marche de grand fond « Paris- Belfort » ; en 1894, la première course automobile « Paris-Rouen » ; puis enfin, en 1896, le premier marathon de Paris. Sa stratégie médiatique d’agir sur l’actualité récolta ses fruits : « Le Petit Journal », avec un tirage quotidien flirtant les deux millions d’exemplaires, devint le leader de la presse mondiale! Fort de ce succès, il décida alors de se consacrer uniquement à son bébé « LE VELO », le seul quotidien sportif national du moment qu’il avait fondé en 1892.
