Cultural and media industries: a short history of the research in France

Abstract

The cultural and media industries communicational approach can currently make use of accumulation. However, only a few numbers of works include the conditions in which this approach had his origin. This contribution privileges three episodes that had been in the origin of this approach: the invention of the cultural and media industries system, the improvement of the notion of socio-economic model and the development of a typological proposal, which will soon be completed by a matrix proposal.
