Since the end of the 2000s, research into television history has 
revealed different realities depending on the country (Bignell & Fickers 
2008, see also /Socialist Television Studies/). Far from being limited 
to the development of main television (British, German or French), the 
European television landscape seems to have been configured along a 
number of dividing lines: the classical divisions (East / West, public 
service / commercial TV) overlapped with new dichotomies (North / South 
(Bourdon 2011), democratic / authoritarian systems (Goddard 2013)).

In order to evaluate the relevance of these taxonomies and to account 
for different dynamics which were thus created, our symposium aims at 
exploring the less known history of the television referred to here as 
peripheral in relation to pre-existing television models (continuing 
Wallerstein’s world economy theory, 1974). The symposium is meant to 
explore the attraction, imitation and diffusion of practice and content 
between central and/or peripheral television. Particular attention will 
be given to the period of emergence and development of television 
institutions and to the established or presumed relationships between 
television operators and national construction.

We are welcoming contributions which will analyze the influence, 
convergence or opposition between European television, from different 
perspectives:

-television techniques (introduction of color TV, modes of transmission 
and recording etc.);

-institutional organization (regulation of relations between political 
authorities and public television, recruitment of staff etc.);

-formation or practice of television professionals;

-design of broadcast schedules;

-circulation and possible adaptation of the program formats (fiction or 
non-fiction);

-dissemination of national or international content;

-reception of programs by trans-border audiences.

Contributions may also address methodological issues or the problem of 
access to television archives, in so far as these issues form the basis 
of future research.
