La télévision au Québec. Miroir d'une société
Robert Armstrong

La révolution numérique a transformé la télévision à tous les points de vue : conception, écriture, développement, production et diffusion. À l'échelle internationale, les services en ligne concurrencent directement les entreprises de programmation télévisuelle réglementées par l'État, leur soutirant de la publicité et des abonnés. Au Québec, la barrière linguistique ralentit le taux de pénétration des services en ligne, mais les médias francophones sont néanmoins menacés par le même phénomène. Or, malgré la conversion à la technologie numérique, tout en continuant à assurer une présence, à exercer un pouvoir et à stimuler une passion auprès du grand public, la télévision réglementée demeure un miroir de la société chez nous. Comment expliquer sa persistance? Voilà une question au coeur de cet essai sur l'histoire et l'actualité de la télévision québécoise.

Royalism and the Three Stuart Kingdoms
Robert Armstrong
- Palgrave Macmillan
- 30 October 2023
- 9783031420993
This book addresses a conundrum. Alone of the major competing political interests during the civil wars of the 1640s, royalism needed to transcend attachment to one nation or one religious tradition and recruit a support base in each of England, Ireland and Scotland. This book aims to provide a concise interpretation and reassessment of royalism during these crucial years and focuses on this dilemma, and on the resources, intellectual and practical, deployed to address it, with mixed success. It focuses on the key ideas and values which made royalism a formidable political alternative, rather than on the more usual factional, military or literary perspectives. It argues that a `three-kingdom' perspective not only gives a broader view but also clarifies the distinctive characteristics of English royalism, more robust than its counterparts in the other nations.
