Chroniques de l'écran.  Les apports de la proxémie dans l'élaboration d'une nouvelle taxinomie.

Abstract

Created at the end of the 19th century, the cinematograph distinguished itself from other moving pictures apparatus since it combined both a projector and a screen. Although the projector was specifically designed for projecting movies, the screen already had a long history of its own.This is a fact that tends to be forgotten, as it is quite notable that the cinema screen has overshadowed all previous forms of screen. A study of these different models will contribute to the analysis of contemporary devices which border the field of the cinema.After a brief study of the history of the screen, it will be interesting to consider its evolution as an indicator of a cultural phenomenon in connection with the movie industry. Finally, we will list and map out some interesting post-cinematographic screens to show how the scope of their use, set out by their designers, can limit the practices of their users. Proxemics, as a science whose purpose is to study the spatial organization of cultural features, will help shed light on the links between these various artefacts throughout the history of the cinema.
