Bazooka, a resolutely modern Insight

J oung people of the era Numerik Did you know that there are more than thirty years other young men were wearing modern Looking at the world? Without Mac, or Internet without a graphics tablet, glue and scissors, screen printing and duplicating machine, i ls invented a graphic deliberately CyperPunk and Novo. Storming the "liberation" of the Seventies hippy's, the collective Bazooka led by Kiki Picasso captured the front page of the newspaper for several weeks, multiplying the provocative Dada and Punk ... Anarchy in Libération, cross swastikas and pins in the nose, redolent of Propaganda aesthetic of the 30s and the socialist surrealism, street art riot White riot ... so profoundly influenced by pop-art Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and especially by the aesthetics of the furia Punk surging across the Channel, these modern young men of yesterday have in turn inspired a generation of underground artists of the 80s ( MissTic particular) until today.

I speak, because their visual world was deeply marked teen, One of the "Liberation" or "The Echo of Savannah" on posters and concert at the Forum des Halles, where all the wildlife keupon trailed at the turn of the 80s. I mention also because somehow, I found a bit of spirit Bazooka with my young friends of Owni , where Friday is always Graphics;)

I finally speaks because the work of Kiki, Lulu and others is featured at Villa Medicis Rome through exposure "Europunk" ( Visual culture in Europe 1976-1980 ). "Liberation" of course, devotes an article with this slideshow bonus. Some 550 objects have been assembled from private collectors or museums. Some are famous, such as the famous portrait the Queen of England's eyes crossed the reference to "God Save The Queen " created by Jamie Reid for the Sex Pistols. Others are more underground like these drawings, collages, fanzines and displays of concerts performed by Bazooka.

"DICTATORSHIP GRAPHIC

One of" Liberation "on the RAF (1977)

Provided , Bazooka destroy designers have never sold their soul to the golden calf Art Business. Christian Chapiron (Kiki Picasso), Jean-Louis Dupre (Loulou Picasso), Olivia Clavel (Electric Clito), Lulu Larsen, Jean Rouzeau and others are all out of the famous workshops of Fine Arts graphics in middle of those 70 ... same here where their elders had sixty-eighters once revolutionized the art graphics, posters of their merry month of May. Having cut his teeth on the famous magazine "News" Jean-Francois Bizot, in 1975 they launched their Bazooka Production that will create a lot of good fanzines Strikethrough: "Although cleared around the ears" , "Activity normal sex " etc ... In 1977, the Punk explosion and our young people become downright modern trend:" Charlie, "" The Echo of Savannah, "" Heavy Metal "," Hara Kiri ".. . while the press is the hairy hard to give a facelift: collages, silkscreens, imaging Nazi or Soviet diverted ... everything is good to sow chaos . Kiki Picasso speaks of "dictatorship graphic" ! Concept pushed to the end when Serge July, always on the lookout for new trends good or bad idea (it depends) to contact them to illustrate "Libération" . Culture clash between ex-punks and anarchists Maos determined to fuck the shit among journos gauchos. He released a few especially memorable "A Modern Look" , a monthly resolutely innovative in every sense, "novo" as we said at the time, which will last six months ... Tired of provocations, " release "will eventually evict the squatters graphics.

The legend was born. But in the late '70s, the group broke out and members of Bazooka each pursuing their individual adventure, falling somewhat into oblivion during the 80 claims marked by flashy vulgarity the TV ad money and years. But in 2002, Loulou Picasso revived "A Modern Look" on the Internet and raised in his way the old class by opening it to Kiki Picasso and Olivia Clavel. For his part Jean Rouzaud, who was excluded from Bazooka for "conformity", now works at Radio Nova ... it's there.

Taunt-recovery, digestion by the consumer society, recognition during the gold of the Republic at the Villa Medicis ... No Future loop is looped.

It deserves a soundtrack Made in 1977: "Anarchy in UK "Sex Pistols :

And this is what gives this punk version" made in France ".
" Hysteria Connective "Metal Urbain (1978), a title that is found precisely on the compilation "The Modern Young Men" published in 2008. This is a good idea of the musical atmosphere in which working people Bazooka:

And finally, here is of course a small retrospective Images work Bazooka :

... and bonus this rare appearance of the collective TV Bazooka (found by the late great show "The Eye of the Cyclone on Canal +) where we see Jean Rouzaud defend themselves to the Cartoon ( "in comics there are rules for us it is not especially not respect "), Lulu Larsen ensure " wait for the next plane crash into a drawing "or Loulou Picasso explain " draw pictures as we sing in rock '. Action!

Otherwise Kiki and Loulou Picasso always a blog where you can see their past and recent. Go check it out ... 35 years after the debut of Bazooka, they are always thoroughly modern!

Ellroy and women, his "curse" of ours

" B onsoir you to other homosexuals, glue sniffers, punks, mackerel, bums and sniffing panties! You could stay home to indulge in your vices usual - sex, drugs, obsessions - but you have come to listen me who was born in the sources of sin ...". Monday night the circus passed through Paris Ellroy while sexorama Fiftie's, shouting insults and reactionary sexual nature, reel arm, giggling furibards and rolling eyes. Unique representation: "James Ellroy read by James Ellroy" . The great writer (1m90 to fathom, 15 novels in ramshackle meter besides the news) had come to sell his latest book, "The Curse Hilliker", subtitled "My obsession with women" before a crowd gained and fascinated by the number of that madman seemingly out of one of his novels of the trilogy American ...

So there was this James Ellroy comedian, showman unstoppable, white-trash graphomaniaque, beanpole-like right-wing colonel denies Marines, riding on the scene the Marigny theater as one climbs on a damn ring. But i also had ly this little boy 10 years staring, still seeking his mother murdered through all the women in his life, more than 50 years after the beginning of the "curse" ... that has begun to read his text chanting c ike an incantation in the form of autobiography Exorcist (you can listen to the podcast here VO another reading by Ellroy Ellroy organized by Telerama). The room was stunned silent, his publisher Francis Guérif Shores of closed eyes as you listen to a prayer, and the two interviewers service Arnaud Viviant and Eric Naulleau have communed before the event (the word is not too strong) the set of questions and answers with the uncompromising author of "Black Dahlia", "LA Confidential "" American Tabloid. "

Geneva "Jean" Hilliker

Zoom. On 22 June 1958, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy, the redhead, was found dead , martyred in a vacant lot near the school Arroyo in the popular neighborhood of El Monte in Los Angeles. "Obviously it's me who caused his death" , loose the boy of 62 years, moving as ever. 1954, Jean Hilliker was taking tanked bourbon and swung the Brahms full tubes on the gramophone. Armand Ellroy subscribed to the scandal sheets and porn magazines ". Little James was six, his parents divorced. James went to live with his mother, wife free, nurse smoking cigarette on cigarette, collecting men but full of tenderness for his son ... and of course takes advantage of his father, Peeping Tom, will spy "John" behind the window doing sex with a stranger. James is fascinated by the paternal loser, lousy accounting "smile crook" who "had a tail of forty centimeters, it exceeded his pants" and claimed to have "thrombin" Haiworth Rita, " La Roja "... lovesick and his mother "grand-son of a pastor in heat" it is voyeur ditto: "I pretend to sleep. It leaves a cloud of steam, and naked, rubs with a towel. I half penalty to eye and I memorize his body for the ten billionth time ". But he also dedicates this hatred inoculated by his father as a toxin: three days before the murder of Geneva Hilliker, he utters the famous curse in wishing his death ...

therefore "the world I live is that she left me and that she gave me through them, Assen lanky giant in terms of children's theater scene Marigny.

Released in 1996, "My Dark Places" was a desperate attempt to try to find the murderer of his mother with the help of retired cop Bill Stoner. It will result in a tribute upsetting, reunion almost subsided with "John". Nearly 15 years later, "Hilliker Curse" is a number of self-analysis virtuoso, egotistical and obsessive love on the air that follow me, nothing to care what you may think. With a single object: "for women like me" he wrote without a mask opening of the book ... the women in his life, and others, all women, not only his mother and deified. "Jean Hilliker had 95 years now. The Curse is old fifty-two years. I spent five decades searching for a woman to destroy a myth. " Place obsessed with sexual onanist but "sooo romantic" : "I lie in the dark, I close my eyes and think. First of all I think about women. Quite often, I tremble and I sobs. My heart swells when women's faces melt into imaginary adventures ... " 's go on the roller coaster of women in his life at breakneck . Entry on with this excerpt:

"A document reflects my early fixation. It is dated February 17, 1955. He is three years before the Curse. This is a drawing on paper Kodak black and white, representing a playground a chicken coop, two slides and a sandpit cluttering the foreground. I'm standing alone on the left. I look like a beanpole, her hair in battle. Obviously I'm a kid disrupted. Someone who does not know me would classify me right away even to problems that drool all day. I have beady eyes. They are focused on four girls who form a group on the right of the image. The picture is full of children playing happily with various objects. But I'm curled up on myself, absorbed in my review. I watch these kids with a staggering intensity. Fifty-five years away, I reread my own thoughts.

I think my mother took this photo. An adult would have cropped impartial stage to exclude the temperamental boy. "

Self-flagellation many small Protestant white dingo predestined according to itself tanked at taking drugs, to enter women for ogling and steal their underwear? So. Ellroy in cheek when he says he also ordered a pair of glasses X-ray in a "Comics" by drawing "the list of all the girls at school and church I could see naked . The glasses come in, glued to their eyes, like a madman James eyeing his neighbor Sandy and her mother posing garlands of Christmas in the garden next door. Nothing obviously a scam ... big disappointment on arrival under the scornful gaze of Sandy turning his finger to his temple and say "he diiiingue" .

But fortunately, it will this baby-sitter German aged 17-18, " plump and covered with acne" and "seem straight out of Hitler Jürgen " it" sucks dick " to 9 years of age. Early the kid.

Followed therefore five decades of wandering (the first 10 years drinking, getting high, playing burglary mater women ...) to continue Female cardinal, central figure in his work that will make him a great writer, through all women. Starting with Elizabeth Short, the "Black Dahlia", a young starlet murdered in 1947 in atrocious conditions, fantasy-projection assumed the Geneva Hilliker. Man can not live totally bent, jealous, egocentric, hence in hallucinatory diatribes, then bursting into tears like a child, "I love you, I fear" ... they call him "mad dog". He is right, intransigent fan of Beethoven ... why does he choose free, leftists, loving rock, asked Arnaud Viviant. "My mind is open" , answered it without laughing. The truth is that without killing the father, he still loves the image of his mother. In the obsessive love. This gives this daydream with Joan, the "Red Goddess" (again), the central woman who left him without warning (you understand a little) some years ago: "I see Joan with strange men. She repeats her sensual movements invented for me. I see her kiss with her former lovers. I see blacks dredging. I see surf the internet in search of types mounted like donkeys ... " he writes in this crazy language that would not have denied Celine.

But today after the writing this book was "devastated" he said, the teen still climbing sexagenarian "Mountain of Amouuur" like a fool, the mad dog seems almost peaceful : "For five decades I I'm number one child / orphan / rider petticoats / husband part time " ... It is time to ask Mec. And now James Ellroy novel, this fifteenth dedication to Erika Schickel, his current girlfriend. " That's what amazes me: I love Erika beyond all my expectations, "wrote the supposed misogynist and sociopath.

Elizabeth Short, the" Black Dahlia "

Are you Misogynist? Ouch Arnaud Viviant had the bad idea to ask the question: "This is the question most stupid that I heard in thirty-year career ", the writer meets rock star playing barely feigned anger. luckiest Eric Naulleau is asking if adventure" The Curse Hilliker "does it not constitute the ideal introduction to all his work for novices who do not where to start living with this monster of black literature: "This is the most intelligent question that I have been asked since the beginning of my European tour "... Psychoanalysis? " I see a psychotherapist, is a poor substitute for prayer . "Haw Haw what number of player ! One for the road: Writing? "For over thirty years, I stubbornly search for perfection through all these women prototypes that led me to LA Woman" . Room Marigny wanting more. Ellroy but the show is over, it's time to take off: "Shall we?" quips Guérif it to Francis, his "best editor in the world" . A book signing on the fly for the crowd of fans enamored. Adios and a final provocation towards "these motherfuckers French existentialists who love the asshole Obama" and the madman is carapate. On the menu of his stay in Paris: a discussion with Guérif about his next novel, a "new phase" after the Los Angeles quartet ("The Black Dahlia e", "The Big Nowhere," "LA Confidential "and" White Jazz ")... The rest of the American trilogy ("American Tabloid," "American Death Trip," "Underworld USA") wait.

So it is really finished his Oedipal obsession with women , ours, that all men seek to end Female Mom? Must believe "With this book I make my revolution of the heart, it is me they are all in me and I live with, "James provides almost subsided. Until next time. For the redhead Geneva is still there on this literary altar a boy of 10 years inconsolable and tortured by the guilt he has compiled book after book : "I write books to comfort the ghost she has become. It is omnipresent and always strange. other women are made of flesh and blood ". That's the word of the End.

Democracy? You said Democracy?

image d'Epinal we have in mind since we were children when the West is to consider our country, those of European or American North, as paragons of democracy! Everything seems possible in our face a troubled South American dictatorships, an Africa infiltrated by mid wrens comic bloody mid maneuvering by nepotism, an East silted in communist oligarchies or companies wretched caste or robotic ...

But looking closely at our democratic societies are often baroque trompe l'oeil! Are we so free as that? When a fraction of the population that holds the finance, that is to say, the power, requires a majority to pass through its laws and controls, where is democracy? The current scandal U.S. maneuvers on banks that have knowingly cheated on the dates and amounts of payments loans for individuals wishing to access the property in order to rob them of their property, says a lot about the state rotten our democracies and the cracks of what might be called the "democratic contract."

This is now changing into the fittest and smartest. Therefore no limit to the stronger, obviously no protection for the most vulnerable ... and wolves abound in this context: eat and fool the other two main thoughts become societies, companies and their men! The damage level of education, culture or any form of sound reflection is breathtaking!

Modern Times, Charlie

In this context, services public, who are increasingly smile some lawyers because they say they never existed or have represented moods of age, are bone, thrown here and there in the field of private companies that seek their own enrichment or their dominance, forming the least, their employees! The expertise, intelligence, understanding of work to be ejected for reasons of profitability and image or communication. What used to take some time to realize there are still a few years, especially in the telecommunications field, is now tied to the goodwill without respect of some periods or outcomes for users. And it also affects the health, safety, justice, school, the university where the very notion of public service becomes a trickle in the process of decomposition.

But the public service as well as laws and constitutions is the first barrier of protection for the population, especially those most vulnerable and powerless, a kind of rampart democracy. Laws wobbly, regulations autistic Constitution which calls for Human Rights but in its general, however, allows a state to enact laws and regulations that continue to knowingly overlook certain categories of persons or counter them in their desire to life. We would all be equal before the law, but some laws just to cut as many do not go to others, never mind that everybody will anyway, and so what if the dress is one of the straitjacket of others ...

C Mécary

this connection the question on " Gay marriage is coming these days in France before the constitutional council, according to its president Council consider "whether the law is or is not consistent with the Constitution and general principles of law (...) It This is not for us to make social choices, but to say whether the legislature meets constitutional principles. " However, Caroline Mécary in argument has rightly drawn a parallel with what happened in Canada there are more than five years following the decision of the Canadian Supreme Court in favor of gay marriage. That is, the Canadian Supreme Court became involved and took position to change the laws in question. Thus, the law must apply to everyone, but all preserving individual differences, so no harm them or forgetting them. If the concept remains the same, the application of law can be schematic and uniform, the law must adapt to individuals in the society and not vice versa.

These simple concepts are however very difficult to penetrate the old brains of our so-called oldest democracy. On this issue there we're almost one of the last Western countries unwilling to accept the changes in our society, the PACS sufficient for the legislature to evade their duty to go further in its thinking and proposals of evolutionary laws. One is behind a Constitution and fundamental rights without drawing the obvious implications, the other parliamentary committees creates a cul de sac.

For this and many other reasons, we find that the flaws of democracy are many and the power combined with the money for an active minority can drift toward permanent an insidious subjugation of the majority. Metropolis showed us the citizen-slaves of modern times, walking the same pace, head down and struck with stupor, in a futuristic city. Look around us in our cities excessive, we are not far away: the same masses are at a poorly paid job and s'engluent in endless money problems! But those who pull the strings do not need to get up early to go to work or make plans to survive!

"Total Recall", your digital life forever ?

E No basis Library of Alexandria in 288 BC, Alexander the Great entertained the project maintain any crazy the knowledge of mankind since the invention of writing in Sumer and Babylon. Under the Roman Empire at the height of his glory, the wonder of the ancient world had up to 700,000 volumes on papyrus and parchment ... before being destroyed and plundered by the Christian disciples of the last Ptolemy in the year 642 as reported by the recent peplum Agora . Scientists and philosophers were expelled and all the memory went up in smoke, plunging the world into the scientific and intellectual eclipse of the late Middle Ages. At the time zero backup copy was available ... But

fifteen centuries later, the quantum leap technology enabled by the digital revolution would almost palpable the dream to keep forever the memory of every human being born on this Earth!

The man is dust and will return to dust, but his memories will remain etched on silicon in a quest for eternity so human. The Pharaohs and Alexander dreamed ... Microsoft will do . It is in all cases the project crazy Gordon Bell, a veteran researcher of the firm that started in 1998 to digitize all of his writings and archive hard drive every day of his life by photographing, scanning, recording methodically everything he saw, ate, read, or felt. Called "MyLifeBits" ("pieces of my life"), this futile attempt to build an e-book has become a memory , just released in France by Flammarion under the title "Total Recall" . Of course an allusion to the Paul Verhoeven film adapted from a story by the great Philip K. Dick ( "We Can Remember it For You Wholesale" ). Except that in the film, the company sells Rekall false memories implanted in her memory to its customers. While Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell claimed his assistant help you build your own electronic memory with a real manual : "Imagine that you have access with a single click, all information received during your life" , summarizes the inevitable Bill Gates, who prefaces the book.

METHOD AND lifelogging

But before we get there, so you'll need:

1. equip the gear you need (computer, scanner, smartphone by camera-video-GPS ...)

2. scan and save maniacally all your records (address books, administrative documents, photographs, books read, music listened to, exchanged emails etc ...)

3. convert you (and your family, your employer etc ...) to "lifelogging" , namely the continuous recording of your day as photos, audio, video, golf GPS ...)

4. And this is not the least tedious carefully organize your e-memory " by classifying the tree while following a chronological perfect.

brief explanation in this promotional video made in Microsoft

O ui imagine something crazy that prevents you from living your life finally , taste the moment, to savor the delicate moment of happiness caress of sun on your face the first day of spring as you will be too busy to shoot the first buds on trees, these kids playing in front of you, this cluster of young girls in flower, while talking to himself to save your note- impressions! Who has not experienced the feeling of missing the moment to force too much to want to capture a picture or video? Course Gordon Bell promises to soon be automating this tedious process backup memorial to force miniature camera incorporated into clothing, GPS integrated with your favorite portable device to faithfully reproduce your impressions and feelings, retrace your not less. But in fact what all this? What will it really be this mass of memories digital? The author admits he stored 261 gigabytes on its CPU , plus a hundred more gigabytes on external servers ... more than it would take to save Alexandria Library devoted to one man, so brilliant is he? Is not that a bit vain and pathetic? Except to make a happening art and politics as Hasan Elahi, who wrongly suspected of terrorist activities in the United states, has decided to save his life by life-logging. An activist gesture in the shape of snub to surveillance which is the object. Read here Owni .

BECOME CRAZY FOR NOSTALGIA

E a digital souvenir t is really a true keepsake to treasure? The feeling of a nice round pebble rolling in your hand in memory of a romantic weekend with the woman in your life ... is that it can be digitized? Does it fit on a USB stick? And then how to manage this great mass of data without forgetting ... or mad with longing, haunted by the past, unable to live the present moment ? In a recent review devoted to the book "Total Recall", "The World" deals with the news of Borges' Funes the memory "or how a young man accidentally acquires the gift of total memory and loses his mind, incapable of thinking and living his life to this while managing endless memories ...

A to work in memory, yes, of course. But not on an industrial, robotic, dehumanized ... In this recent post, "Gone With our images" , I told my nostalgia Photo film which required him to choose carefully the moment, the pose, exposure, shutter speed to make the cliché that you remember will smile again in 20 years: "We took pictures to keep the memory of a bubble of happiness spatiotemporal , leaving a testimony of our fragile existences, transmit family memory, witness of history being done ... well smile at life and say shit to death ... " . Today it is not the same, things change, things change as Boris Vian in singing the "Lament of Progress " "Take not one, but ten but a hundred photos without thinking . The pass in a few seconds of a digital camera or a smartphone on a computer screen, a tablet or a television. Scroll lazily from hundreds of pictures stored on your PC, check what we like, touch the plate as a surgeon photoshop image, broadcast a drunken one-night holiday memory or a network with a click and forget it immediately ... " . m'autocite Pardon me again.

E-MEMORY AND transhumanity

But all his smug scientism geek, Gordon Bell scans, zap almost all of these questions: "Total Recall will change the fact of being human. Eventually, the advent of this program will be al for next generation an important change that the digital era has been for our ", he predicted. And we're off in the delirium of the creepy "transhumanity" comparison to Google, Microsoft's worst enemy ... there is no chance. "What we're trying to do is build a humanity increased, we build machines to help people make better things they can not do much (...) Google wants to be the third hemisphere of your brain, " prophesied recently the firm's boss, Eric Schmidt. I was talking about in this post.

Worse author, who says he got the idea of "MyLifeBits" to "completely get rid of the paper " downright begs the central question of the possibility of e-surveillance of our lives digitized by the state and its police pseudopodia Surveyors Net: "How Not to worry, for example, that the government spying on us through our e-memories?" , wonders he blandly. How indeed does not fear being fliquer into our privacy memorial already when surveillance cameras scrutinizing our cities and our lives as so many prying eyes (see map of 1300 provided new cameras in 2011 in Paris on Owni )?

fossilized MY LIFE?

E does well Gordon Bell and his co-author Jim Gemmel do not fear "Big Brother" and "Brave New World". Normal they work for Microsoft. They promise hand on heart a "Little Brother" would each of us: "democratic face of a global surveillance society in which the recording means, instead of being in the hands a single central authority, are shared among millions of individuals ". You bet Charles I prefer to keep my memories for me . And if possible as real things analog : a photo taken in Paros in the Cyclades was 1990 when a blue Klein slap on the blue the whiteness of the whitewashed houses, the roller round Etretat I mentioned above pleased and a sprig of lavender picked one day in the mountains by my eldest daughter, a lock of blonde hair of her younger sister ... and so many other tangible things, exhaling a perfume of sweet nostalgia a moment of happiness, grace and love that never digitization can not express other than a pale shadow copy.

"After your death, the corpus of information and made even allow the creation of a 'you' virtual. Your digital memories and traits of your personality as a fossilized form an avatar with which future generations will talk ", fantasize authors. Or how to access the very human desire for immortality, the old dream of Alexander and Pharaoh, the circle is complete. For my part, I do not know if I want to finish as a hologram 3D drooling methodically fossilized my life in a digital cemetery. I think I'd rather leave things to me like a treasure hunt , writings, photos, videos way puzzle . exhumed patiently, surely not with one click. If anyone is interested in one of my descendants or anyone else. And if tomorrow importantly, it still has the patience to give the time to time memories ...

Young Journalists: what are we waiting for to no longer follow the rules? Digitalis

C ela been a while since I wanted to know how young journalists web-native lived their entry into a profession that, in fact, nothing more a dream Brat pink: insecure institutionalized in the form of courses and repeated CSD, productivism Shiva as a handbook, rule of petty chiefs on web editors organized for the stream and nothing but the stream of blind arrogance "newsosaures' s era printed before the great digital transformation of information ... the status accorded to this generation surdiplômée and much better trained than we were unworthy. And the crisis of the press does not explain everything. Our generation, that of Gutenberg, was previously unable to understand and adapt to the challenges of the Internet revolution. And in real cases kills any attempt at innovation in newsrooms superbly ignoring what youth have to teach us on the Web. I wanted to read it all from the pen of a colleague under 30 years. Morgane Tual , who was my student a few years ago, picked up the gauntlet. And the result décoiffe beyond my expectations. For "Generation Y" is also his grade ... Read more the ticket for my guest:

Stencil Street Art

E nvie write, but lack of inspiration. Twitter is used for everything, even to find something to blog about. It was Jean-Christophe Feraud, my former boss at Les Echos, old fart kind of self-proclaimed we would like to see more often, which blew me about this idea: "Young / old media, paper / internet generational conflicts? " .
In reading, I was moderately packed. I'm a bit tired of noodle branlage journalistico-twitto-intellectual of the moment. And then I changed my mind. Older journalists and their principles, young journalists and their lack of principles , I speak often orally. So why not write it. Stating that he is just a rant, and my remarks on the cons, old or young, are not to generalize.

THE OLD CON
L has only time we had a semblance of being on the internet in my journalism school, it's an old guy, a "size", who came to lecture us. Overall, I always found it strange that people 60 banks come to teach us the press, while have blasted into the air . They bequeathed us media on the verge of bankruptcy, a widespread contempt (and deserved) of the citizens towards us and teach us the good old method of proceeding.
This is especially amusing when a journalist of a certain age come to lecture us on the internet. These types, we have balanced the head of web editors because they had "the baggage" and have the audacity to open a Facebook account in 2007, have all learned in seminars. They are usually also sensitive to the Web a platypus face a Playstation . They will tell with certainty senseless writing for the web is to write short. That mix text with video and sound. Otherwise, it's not "web". Even less "web 2.0".
P have agreed. In fact, nobody knows what Web journalism, and ultimately it as well. What is true today may not be tomorrow. We ride all in the meal / sauerkraut / caviar and confidence for confidence, I love it. Seek to establish "rules" of "practices", maybe it's finally that which is anti-web. However, one type 40, 50, 60 years - or any age - does not hold all the truths about publishing online is not objectionable. What is, however, is the lack of curiosity. During these courses, he would not come to mind of the journalist-professor of us question our practices , busy it is to lather in front of young fans. We saw the old media are not a contradiction. Between rhetoric and practice, there is a large canyon.

E etween them at conferences in which they operate, all hold the same speech: youth are great. "We have to learn everything from digital-native, they have the web in the blood, we are very attentive to the young and new practices" . Strangely, in the many essays that I attended, nobody ever asked me my opinion of (almost) digital-native. You can score in red capital HTML on your CV, everybody is buffered. For parade in seminars explaining that young people are great, there is no problem.

But the reality is that young moldy essays in rotten paid bugger all, sometimes ignored, rarely thanked for internships at the limits of legality, to work like animals to lay up of the mail shabby no time. Challenging, this is only good for conferences. In truth, we wait quietly retired, glorifying the time before, accusing the web for all the ills of the press, carefully avoiding to feel responsible. After us the deluge.

YOUNG CONS
H fortunately, the young generation is here to take over. No? No. Generation Y, especially the generation plane-plane . as well think that our seniors. Except that the old, they have at least the merit of having been young once in their life, trying to fuck up everything in the years 60-70. Today, journalism is to be socially recognized, and especially not to change the profession. We dream about in the post with the same tone cloned, write in prestigious journals and, if we are lucky and pretty face that goes with it, to make the presentation on television, the ultimate glory. Left to reproduce the same model that forever, we know now is doomed to failure. In short, reinvent journalism, very little for us . now, the few launch new ambitious projects often have over fifty. And the only one who showed us as impertinent, young idiots, should be if we fulfill our social role, is an old anarchist octogenarian. Today, launching a media nevertheless became technically and financially more accessible than before. We have a huge freedom. From a space of unlimited play. And we do not take possession . The few newspapers launched by young people motivated, even though they are often of remarkable quality, remain a hopeless wisdom.
N e're generation CPE. Our fight, it was not to change the world. No, we everything we wanted, it's a fucking CDI ! In 1968, young people wanted to abolish work and consumerism. We do not want a contract to buy power a car on credit. Security. comfort. Especially do not change. What about the "digital-native"? In this context of insecurity complete the job market, the e web has become a huge opportunity to make themselves known, off-beaten paths CV candy. the "personal branding" exceed the thousand followers on Twitter, get invited to parties VIP Parisian chic and underground became a goal in itself.

We spend a lot of time on these trivialities, we away every day of the report of field survey and, more importantly, people. Of all these people who do not know what Web 2.0, much less what Twitter, and who do not care who, in addition, may have good reason. What we expect to no longer follow the rules? Who will follow Siné, to shit in the glue in our way?
