"Em 2023, o professor José Marques de Melo, se estivesse vivo, completaria 80 anos de idade. Com certeza, ainda estaria organizando algum evento cientÃfico ou escrevendo um novo livro. Em sua trajetória, marcada por um trabalho pioneiro de pesquisa e de ensino da Comunicação no Brasil, Marques

"Ce livre est un hommage à Marie-Soleil Frère, directrice de recherches au FNRS et enseignante à l'ULB. Il retrace le parcours académique d'une intellectuelle hors pair, impliquée à la fois dans la recherche, l'enseignement et la coopération en Afrique subsaharienne francophone. Lire la suite

Durant 30 ans, elle a inlassablement étudié et questionné les journalistes et leurs médias notamment en Mauritanie, au Bénin, au Niger, au Tchad, au Rwanda, au Burundi, en République démocratique du Congo et, bien sûr, au Burkina Faso, sa seconde patrie. Elle a analysé leur rôle de témoins tout autant que d'acteurs de la vie politique et nous lègue un regard juste et complexe sur les dynamiques médiatiques, politiques, sociales et économiques du continent. Le livre réunit des recherches scientifiques tout à fait inédites mais aussi un grand nombre d'interventions de collaborateurs et collaboratrices, chercheurs et chercheuses, doctorants et doctorantes, amis et journalistes qui l'ont connue et appréciée. Tous réunis, à la croisée de la science et de l'hommage, ces textes retracent son parcours de vie impressionnant et passionnant et abordent les problématiques et enjeux cruciaux auxquels elle a consacré une énergie hors du commun. Ils dévoilent la trajectoire unique d'une chercheuse de terrain dévouée à l'Afrique et à ses journalistes. Son travail continuera d'éclairer non seulement les chercheurs, mais également toute personne qui s'intéresse au journalisme et à l'Afrique ou qui souhaite porter un regard critique sur la vision paternaliste sous-jacente à nombreux projets de coopération."

"The Brazilian educator Paulo Freire (1921-1997) is one of the most important thinkers of the 21st century, figuring among the most quoted authors in the fields of education and social sciences all over the world. He is also a core reference to an infinite number of grassroots and activist initiativ

es globally. This book celebrates his birth centennial with a collection of 19 contributions from both experienced and young media and communication scholars and activists working in 11 countries. They reflect and debate Freire’s principles and ideas, revisiting their origins and interrogating their relevance to current challenges and struggles. The result can be summarized as a claim for affect as the core feature of social change and a tool for yielding resistance." (Publisher description)

"The term 'Social Communication' (lat. 'Communicatio Socialis') was coined at the Second Vatican Council.

day of Franz-Josef Eilers SVD, Social Communication has been his lifelong Leitmotif. Eilers has been one of the most prominent writers on Church and intercultural communication. He founded and for many years edited the scholarly quarterly Communicatio Socialis, and he served as collaborator and director of CAMECO and the Office for Social Communication of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences. 15 international communication experts, from Catholic as well as ecumenical viewpoints, contributed to this book. The articles cover a broad range of issues, from practical experiences ('Radio Broadcasting in the Brazilian Amazon') to trend reports ('The rediscovery of religion by journalists in the Netherlands') and theological reflections ('The concept of dialogue and its ethical implications')."

an of Heinemann Educational Publishers (Nigeria) plc. The 15 contributions that are brought together in this Festschrift include essays by many prominent members of the African book professions, including Bodunde Bankole, Henry Chakava, Ayo Odeniyi, the late Victor Nwankwo, as well as Keith Sambrook, a former director of Heinemann's in the UK, whose chapter recounts the story of his visit to Nigeria in 1964 when he and the late Alan Hill (then Chair of Heinemann's) met up with Aig Higo and asked him to join HEB and take charge of their business in Nigeria and West Africa. There are also papers on the economics of publishing, training for book industry personnel, and Bodunde Bankole presents an interesting account of the history and development of the Nigerian Publishers Association and its collaboration with international book trade organizations to provide more visibility for Nigerian book publishing output. A flawed index apart, this is a valuable source of information on the development of publishing and the book trade in Nigeria, and also provides useful overviews of publishing practise in the country."
