Plenary Conferences Debates
Plenary Conference Debates N°1: The economics and management of European professional football and the media
Organizer: Dr Nicolas Scelles, University of Stirling, Scotland (UK)
This symposium aims to highlight the growing economic importance of the media in European professional football since the 1980s. In the French men’s first division, in 1980-1981, TV rights represented only 1% of clubs’ revenues; since 1999-2000, they represent more than half of their revenues. It leads to a “TV-dependency” for clubs which can be economically dangerous. Contrary to French men’s clubs after the 1998 World Cup, German men’s clubs took advantage of the organisation of the 2006 World Cup to improve their stadia and generate new revenues, meaning a smaller dependency on TV rights. In 2016, French men’s clubs have a similar opportunity thanks to the organisation of the 2016 Euro. Now, the improvement of stadia should include social media and new technologies regarding their growing use. Beyond their implementation in stadia, a focus on the overall economic importance of social media and new technologies is needed. In particular, it could provide some interesting perspectives for the development of women’s football in Europe.

Plenary Conference Debate n°3: History: “another image of football”
Organizer: Prof Didier Rey, University of Corse Pasquale-Paoli (France)
Image is not only related to technology but also to history and sociology, hence the necessity to re-contextualize the history of football and its practices over the last century and a half. But questions are also beyond that. Thus, how to rise from movement and action which characterize football to museographic representation? What are the stakes to represent football and more generally sport in the framework of a closed space like a museum? What part to offer to fans and their expressions in such a space? And what are the metamorphoses which affect the world of partisan practices in front of globalization and dispossession felt following the arrival of new financial actors from different origins? We can also ponder representations and images associated to or wanted by a particular region or club, and with what goal? What are the stakes of memory (power?) for such representations? What about, for example, the labour culture in its relation with football in the Nord mineral field? Beyond that, how are perceived, from outside, these same regions and clubs? When we look at the team line up of the large Nord football clubs, how not to be hit by the numerous presence of players with Polish, Algerian, Moroccan and Italian origins? Migratory and sporting journeys question thus a page of the French history of the last century. But we can also ponder Nord clubs’ images and representations for young fans and/or players from immigrant families. Lastly, it remains to ponder video image in terms of football legend so as to come back to the technological problem. Does video risk to end a certain popular imaging and some football myths? Who would remember, even today, the 1966 World Cup final without the incident of the third English goal, the second by Geoffrey Hurst in this game? Would the aura of the 1954 Hungarian Golden Eleven be the same without the terrible injustice of this goal denied at the last minute to Puskas for an inexistent offside?

Michel Rémon
A 1977 graduate of the French School of Fine Arts, Michel Rémon quickly became known for two research works on the thickness of façades and bioclimatic urban architecture, which already testified to his thinking on heliotropism within a dense urban fabric - the common theme of an approach that he would subsequently develop. He was a Young Architecture Albums prizewinner and in 1984 created his own firm in Paris. In 1994, he was nominated for the Equerre d'Argent (Silver T-Square) prize for the Université des Chênes at Cergy-Pontoise, which in parallel obtained the first prize for architecture from the Val-d'Oise General Council. The leisure center at Torcy, the École Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers in Metz and the Forensic Science Laboratory at Écully were to confirm his reputation in this first period, from 1994 to 1997. With a team of forty people, including 35 architects, Michel RÉMON currently divides his time between public projects, public-private partnerships (PPPs) and prestigious private operations for Air Liquide or the headquarters of Airbus Helicopters at Marignane, which underscore the vitality of his studio by exploring new domains. A recognized company leader, he is high up on the roll of honor of large French architectural firms. Hospitals, stadiums, universities, research laboratories, tertiary and infrastructure facilities .... his studio in Paris carries out complex large-scale projects. Responding to exceptional programs, they all raise academic issues in terms of technicality, functionality and architecture for new-build and for the restructuring of sensitive sites. Following the National Institute of Solar Energy (INES) at Chambéry in 2013 – with its dual-geometry roof, natural ventilation and solar-powered air-conditioning – he also designed the CNRS building at Saclay, with a cleanroom having 3,000 m² of useful floor area. While the Reims Stadium, the hospital sites at Villeneuve-Saint-Georges and the Édouard-Herriot Hospital in Lyon showed Michel RÉMON to be a man of large scale and large sites, the creation of space, proportions, relationship to the site, ground and sky, and the art of roofs guide his writing. Attentive to the permanence of architecture, he always returns to context, evoking in turn Casa Malaparte on Capri or Alberti's De pictura. Prizes and the Medal of Honor from the French Academy of Architecture (2008) have crowned his works. A teacher and consultant architect to the Ministry of Territorial and Sustainable Development, he was also a consultant to the inter-ministerial commission that ensures high-quality public buildings (MIQCP).
