Rencontre avec Workshop with Matteo Treleani (Université Côte d'Azur)

The workshop was divided into two parts:

In the first part, Matteo Treleani (Université Côte d’Azur) was invited to present his research to the Revue3.0 student team, with a particular focus on two projects he is currently leading (AVENIR and Crobora).

The second part of the session was dedicated to an informal exchange between Treleani and the students interested in his research topics. Each participant had the opportunity to present their thesis or dissertation project, paving the way for a collective discussion on potential connections with the projects presented.

Below is an overview of the two projects discussed during the workshop.

AVENIR: AudioVisual ENvironments – Image and Repetition

This project focuses on the analysis of audiovisual archive images and is based on two major observations:

To explore this tension, an audiovisual study was conducted using the Signature tool, revealing that more than 70% of images broadcast on television are reused from previously produced content.

Repetition thus emerges as a structuring principle of the contemporary media infrastructure—both through industrial reuse, which reduces production costs by avoiding the creation of original footage, and through semantic redundancies, meaning the use of stereotypical images to represent specific concepts.

This dynamic leads to a process of stereotyping, or representational fixation, in the circulation of televised images.

Crobora

This second project extends the exploration of image circulation through two complementary methodological approaches:
