More About This Title The Dispositif: A Concept for Information and Communication Science

English

The device is a useful concept for a researcher who studies phenomena where we can observe the reproducibility of practices and techniques, the hybridity of heterogeneous elements and flows related to games of power and visibility. The device highlights roles, norms and discourses but also promotes the study of dynamics and resistances. This concept includes technical, organizational and symbolic dimensions understood from sociological, philosophical, legal, economic, technological and even educational perspectives.

Three current issues in information and communication sciences are also tackled, on the one hand, to illustrate the heuristic scope of questioning integrating the concept of device, and on the other hand, to demonstrate the unifying aspect of this concept. in information sciences and communication.

The first questions the complexity of the production of media content, the second looks at participation in digital contexts. Finally, the last is interested in the secondary information device.
