La mise en image du « problème des banlieues » au prisme de la division du travail journalistique
Our article aims to reconstitute the image- and speech-making process regarding the “suburbs” through the filming of a documentary on “how young people on the high-rise estates perceive the war in Iraq”.

We present a “lesson learned” from this adaptation process that disrupted and challenged the inherent assumptions of academic sociological writing. This review of Sociorama albums highlights some advantages and successes, as well as some limitations and obstacles introduced by this comic-ization.
