"Ex officio double talk"

Apart from publicity and joking, private communication is governed by good faith. This is not the case in communication of public bodies. In a way it cannot be otherwise because too many interests are at stake and have to be monitored: qui trop embrasse mal étreint.

The human rights issue is particularly aggravated in terms of freedom of opinion, speech and the media by the power machine.

Sustainability is claimed for third world development, but it does not go without saying for communication.

This essay will attempt to disentangle the threads moving the muppet show and plead for a new deontology for the floor.

The renaissance placed man at the centre of the world, the information society tends to replace him by communication, without considering whether an object can become a subject.

The main issue will be to consider whether communication is meant to be serious in a world which can no longer claim innocent.
