Contemporary film and television production is extraordinarily mobile. Filming large-scale studio productions in Atlanta, Budapest, London, Prague, or Australia's Gold Coast makes Hollywood jobs available to people and places far removed from Southern California-but it also requires individuals to uproot their lives as they travel around the world in pursuit of work. Drawing on interviews with a global contingent of film and television workers, Kevin Sanson weaves an analysis of the sheer scale and complexity of mobile production into a compelling account of the impact that mobility has had on job functions, working conditions, and personal lives. Mobile Hollywood captures how an expanded geography of production not only intensifies the often invisible pressures that production workers now face but also stretches the parameters of screen-media labor far beyond craftwork and creativity.

"Precarious Creativity examines the seismic changes confronting media workers in an age of globalization and corporate conglomeration. This pathbreaking anthology peeks behind the hype and supposed glamor of screen media industries to reveal the intensifying pressures and challenges confronting actors, editors, electricians, and others. The authors take on pressing conceptual and methodological issues while also providing insightful case studies of workplace dynamics regarding creativity, collaboration, exploitation, and cultural difference. Furthermore, it examines working conditions and organizing efforts on all six continents, offering broad-ranging and comprehensive analysis of contemporary screen media labor in such places as Lagos, Prague, Hollywood, and Hyderabad. The collection also examines labor conditions across a range of job categories that includes, for example, visual effects, production services, and adult entertainment. With contributions from such leading scholars as John Caldwell, Vicki Mayer, Herman Gray, and Tejaswini Ganti, Precarious Creativity offers timely critiques of media globalization while also intervening in broader debates about labor, creativity, and precarity"--Provided by publisher.

Le centre en France relève de définitions en creux. Les termes “juste milieu”, “marais”, “entre-deux” ont une connotation négative. La culture politique française ne reconnaît pas ce qui n'est ni la droite, ni la gauche. Le centriste est bien souvent celui qui évolue de la gauche vers la droite au gré des circonstances et par ambition personnelle. Le centrisme n'a pas sa place dans une culture politique marquée par le conflit. Le conflit, qui peut aussi s'identifier au consensus, est circonstanciel, construit mais rarement intériorisé. On peut donc s'interroger sur cette image négative qui n'est pas celle que l'on trouve dans tous les pays européens où il existe sans doute une forte tradition de culture libérale ou chrétienne-démocrate et où le poids du parti communiste est plus faible qu'en France. Ce colloque tente d'expliquer les échecs du centrisme en France. Il sera suivi d'un autre colloque au Sénat, au printemps 2005, qui s'attachera à la dimension européenne du “tropisme du centrisme” pour reprendre les termes d'un programme de recherche présenté par Sylvie Guillaume dans le cadre de l'Institut universitaire de France.
