Geese fly away in formation. A flower blooms.

Cet ouvrage retrace l''histoire de l''information et de la communication de masse depuis le Second Empire. Le Petit Journal, premier quotidien populaire, marque le début de la presse de masse. Sa lecture s''étend aux couches populaires, urbaines puis rurales. Ses systèmes de diffusion et sa formule: contenu, présentation, style, rapport à la politique sont différents des autres journaux. Peu à peu, la place de la politique se modifie. Avec l''apparition de la radio et de la télévision la question se pose alors de savoir si l''information ne se transforme pas : l''activité du journaliste ne serait-elle pas éclipsée par l''omniprésence de la mise en spectacle ? Le deuxième aspect de l''ouvrage s''attache à réfléchir sur le rôle du journaliste qui est à la source des informations qu''il sélectionne, met en forme et commente : activité tout à fait particulière dans la mise en place d''un espace public démocratique. D''autres problématiques sont également traitées : les rapports des journalistes avec la censure, la révolution des techniques de composition dans les imprimeries, la naissance de la presse féminine, les relations presse radio, la constitution d''un monopole de l''audiovisuel et son abolition, l''évolution des programmes de télévision... Historien, spécialiste de la presse et de la publicité, Marc Martin est professeur à Paris X Nanterre. Il est l''auteur, aux Editions Odile Jacob, de Trois siècles de publicité, publié en 1992.

La première histoire complète de la publicité française, des origines aux turbulences actuelles, des annonces gratuites et des réclames d''antan aux batailles internationales que livrent les grands groupes d''aujourd''hui. Roman vrai d''un secteur économique bien particulier, ce livre apporte aussi un point de vue original sur l''histoire des mentalités dans notre pays. Historien, spécialiste de la presse et de la publicité, Marc Martin est professeur à l''université de Paris X-Nanterre.

Como decía el actor inglés Edmund Gwenn, «morir es fácil; la comedia es difícil». Hacer reír no es sencillo. Con esta premisa, Marc Martín ofrece una visión global y completa sobre el funcionamiento del humor, con la aspiración de reconstruir el «elefante completo» de la comedia.La hipótesis central que defiende el libro es clara: lo que hace estallar nuestras risas son las ineptitudes o, dicho de otra forma, la falta de control. El combustible de la carcajada es la tensión constante por controlar la realidad, una tensión a la que estamos sometidos por el simple hecho de existir. El humor convierte la ineptitud en un arte, revelando el fracaso del intento humano de moverse con éxito por la vida.Marc Martín, que ha sido realizador de la exitosa sátira política Polònia durante más de catorce años y que ha participado en la dirección de otros programas como Señoras que… o Vinagre, y que además ha enseñado las claves del humor en diversas instituciones universitarias, recoge en este volumen una herramienta útil para quien desee entender y practicar la comedia.Esta obra es un manual que celebra la carcajada que libera la presión de la existencia y nos recuerda que la ineptitud humana es universal. Porque, como ya sabía Groucho Marx, comparada con hacer reír, «la interpretación dramática es como tomarse unas semanas de vacaciones en el campo».
