  • 20201103 Réouverture Lieux Biens Culturels
    Communiqué Plus que jamais, les biens culturels sont des biens essentiels ! Comment les magasins culturels se sont-ils retrouvés dans la catégorie des « commerces non essentiels » ? Comment expliquer à nos concitoyens que le seul rayon fermé de leur supermarché habituel est le rayon culture ? Comment peut-on les priver, alors qu’ils sont à nouveau confinés chez eux, de l’accès aux biens culturels ? Comment a-t-on pu en arriver là ? Parce qu’il est indispensable de préserver les derniers loisirs culturels possibles en période de confinement, après la fermeture des salles de spectacle, des théâtres, des cinémas et des musées. Parce que la fermeture des magasins culturels risque de fragiliser un peu plus ces acteurs courageux qui restent convaincus que l’envie de découvrir une œuvre et de la partager avec ceux que l’on aime est une expérience unique à vivre. Parce qu’il est insensé de dresser les uns contre les autres les commerces indépendants, les grandes surfaces et le commerce en ligne alors que toute l’économie est déjà soumise à de fortes pressions. Parce que la fermeture des rayons culture de la grande distribution est une aberration qu’aucun principe juridique ou économique ne peut justifier, et ce d’autant plus qu’ils étaient restés ouverts durant toute la durée du premier confinement. Parce que tous ces acteurs sont responsables et sauront mettre en place les mesures sanitaires renforcées propres à assurer la sécurité sanitaire de leurs clients, comme tous les autres commerces dits « essentiels ». Parce qu’en tout état de cause, la cohérence doit primer et qu’il n’apparaît pas plus dangereux de se rendre chez son disquaire ou son libraire que dans une boucherie-charcuterie, de même que le virus ne circule pas plus activement dans les rayons aujourd’hui fermés de la grande distribution que dans les autres.

    PRODUCTS OF MENGER SPACES: A COMBINATORIAL APPROACH PIOTR SZEWCZAK AND BOAZ TSABAN Abstract. We construct Menger subsets of the real line whose product is not Menger in the plane. In contrast to earlier constructions, our approach is purely combinatorial. The set theoretic hypothesis used in our construction is far milder than earlier ones, and holds in all but the most exotic models of real set theory. On the other hand, we establish pro- ductive properties for versions of Menger’s property parameterized by filters and semifilters. In particular, the Continuum Hypothesis implies that every productively Menger set of real numbers is productively Hurewicz, and each ultrafilter version of Menger’s property is strictly between Menger’s and Hurewicz’s classic properties. We include a number of open problems emerging from this study. 1. Introduction A topological space X is Menger if for each sequence U1, U2,... of open covers of the space X, there are finite subsets F1 ⊆ U1, F2 ⊆ U2, . whose union forms a cover of the space X. This property was introduced by Karl Menger [17], and reformulated as presented here by Witold Hurewicz [11]. Menger’s property is strictly between σ-compact and Lindelöf. Now a central notion in topology, it has applications in a number of branches of topology and set theory. The undefined notions in the following example, which are available in the indicated references, are not needed for the remainder of this paper. Example 1.1. Menger spaces form the most general class for which a positive solution of arXiv:1603.03361v3 [math.GN] 18 May 2016 the D-space problem is known [2, Corolarry 2.7], and the most general class for which a general form of Hindman’s Finite Sums Theorem holds [25].

  • An Exploratory Study with Major Professional Content Providers in the United Kingdom
    Online science videos: an exploratory study with major professional content providers in the United Kingdom M. Carmen Erviti and Erik Stengler Abstract We present an exploratory study of science communication via online video through various UK-based YouTube science content providers. We interviewed five people responsible for eight of the most viewed and subscribed professionally generated content channels. The study reveals that the immense potential of online video as a science communication tool is widely acknowledged, especially regarding the possibility of establishing a dialogue with the audience and of experimenting with different formats. It also shows that some online video channels fully exploit this potential whilst others focus on providing a supplementary platform for other kinds of science communication, such as print or TV. Keywords Popularization of science and technology; Science and media; Visual communication Context Online video is one of the most popular content choices for Internet users. According to Cisco [2014], video traffic was, in terms of data, 66% of all consumer Internet traffic in 2013 and it is predicted to be 79% by 2018. Online video is extensively used for instructional purposes and various authors have analysed this use in recent years [e.g. Pace and Jones, 2009; DeCesare, 2014; Cooper and Higgins, 2015]. Morain and Swarts [2012] proposed a methodology to analyse instructional online video, focussing on sounds, images and texts, the rhetorical work and the information design of a sample of videos. The use of online video within the academic community is also growing as a means of peer-to-peer communication, and Kousha, Thelwall and Abdoli [2012] studied YouTube videos cited in published academic research.

  • Producers of Popular Science Web Videos – Between New Professionalism and Old Gender Issues
    Producers of Popular Science Web Videos – Between New Professionalism and Old Gender Issues Jesús Muñoz Morcillo1*, Klemens Czurda*, Andrea Geipel**, Caroline Y. Robertson-von Trotha* ABSTRACT: This article provides an overview of the web video production context related to science communication, based on a quantitative analysis of 190 YouTube videos. The authors explore the main characteristics and ongoing strategies of producers, focusing on three topics: professionalism, producer’s gender and age profile, and community building. In the discussion, the authors compare the quantitative results with recently published qualitative research on producers of popular science web videos. This complementary approach gives further evidence on the main characteristics of most popular science communicators on YouTube, it shows a new type of professionalism that surpasses the hitherto existing distinction between User Generated Content (UGC) and Professional Generated Content (PGC), raises gender issues, and questions the participatory culture of science communicators on YouTube. Keywords: Producers of Popular Science Web Videos, Commodification of Science, Gender in Science Communication, Community Building, Professionalism on YouTube Introduction Not very long ago YouTube was introduced as a platform for sharing videos without commodity logic. However, shortly after Google acquired YouTube in 2006, the free exchange of videos gradually shifted to an attention economy ruled by manifold and omnipresent advertising (cf. Jenkins, 2009: 120). YouTube has meanwhile become part of our everyday experience, of our “being in the world” (Merleau Ponty) with all our senses, as an active and constitutive dimension of our understanding of life, knowledge, and communication. However, because of the increasing exploitation of private data, some critical voices have arisen arguing against the production and distribution of free content and warning of the negative consequences for content quality and privacy (e.g., Keen, 2007; Welzer, 2016).
