Ariane Beldi
I recently received my PhD in media and communication studies from the University of Strasbourg, France.
My research concerned the role played by the DVD, as a digital delivery technology, in the reception of Japanese animated TV series (or animes) among French- and German-speaking audiences in Europe. This dissertation topic brought together my interest for the way people use technologies in their daily activities and one of my favorite forms of audiovisual entertainment, animes. Through this study, I showed the emergence of new relationships to television programs (series) and to the technologies that constitute the television media in an all-digital era.
My general academic background mixes "hard" sciences (biology, chemistry, physics and maths) and social sciences (anthropology and sociology), as I have a B.S. with a major in anthropology from Bates College, as well as a master in society, technology and science studies from the Federal Insitute of Technology of Lausanne, and a master in media & communication studies from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. As I have studied both in the US and in Switzerland, I'm also familiar with both higher education systems.
Because of this mixed academic career, I'm interested in exchanging idea with people from a wide variety of fields and nationalities.
So, yoroushiku*!
*"Nice to meet you!" in Japanese ;-)

La vie après la mort ?
Une approche rationnelle
Thomas C. Durand, préface de Renaud Evrard
Book-e-book, Coll. Une chandelle dans les ténèbres, 2016, 70 pages, 11 €
These exchanges at the local level are in line with a wider trend of cultural influences. Besides martial and traditional arts, other artefacts of the Japanese lifestyle have become increasingly popular in Switzerland these last 20 years. Mangas and animés pertain to this movement by offering media plateforms for experiencing an exotism that isn’t that strange either to a public already quite worked on by globalization.
In order to actually better understand these publics, the Manga Study Network has undertaken a survey on manga readers in France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany between 2006 and 2007. It isn’t just about debunking some negative stereotypes and myths about them relayed by medias and some lay discourses. This detailed questionnaire rather aimed at deciphering some of the mechanisms that have led to the present success of mangas in Europe. The Swiss survey reveals a more subtle image of the manga fans, far from the otaku stereotype. It also shows the important role played by new technologies in the creation of active communities and the socialization of individuals, who aren’t only consummers, but also often producers of contents as well.
