Les journalistes dans la presse en langues étrangères : Perspectives transculturelles, Europe – Amériques (XVIIIe–XXe siècles)

Présentation

This edited volume focuses on journalists working for the foreign-language press, their backgrounds, their self-image and their social and political functions. It concentrates on the period from 1750 to 1914. On a theoretical and methodological level, the aim is to achieve a comparative and transcultural perspective. This period is characterised by the emergence of a foreign-language press, which is linked to colonial expansion as well as to the progress of literacy and migration processes, and by the emergence and strong growth of the nation state and nationalisms.
