Des territoires à la territorialisation

Abstract

Media and information analysis reveals three main conceptions of territory. These conceptions highlight the fact that territories are constructions and that different actors have a stake in the process of such construction. Local media take an active part in conceptions of territory, as does information produced through participatory action or local debate and conflict. This article thus considers territory as a condensed reflection of the tensions and confrontations among different models of social and economic development.
