Les représentations sociales de la jeunesse à la télévision française. Les années soixante.
In the 1960's, the family was one of the recurring themes on French public television. Within this context, the young were a topic of considerable interest, in other words, a subject that was taken into account in program scheduling. Two types of television program with their own distinctive functions stood out: the documentary magazine and series, which covered the organization and outlining of family developments and lifestyles; news magazines, which informed viewers about underlying social movements. Those programs conveyed attitudes that demonstrate the multiple functions of television, how it plays a part in the production of standards that contribute to individual and family regulatory processes, how it supports and anticipates the evolution of custom and behaviour and how it reflects social discontent.
