<p>Le beau documentaire existe, il a un pouvoir &eacute;nigmatique, comme le chat dans&nbsp;<em>Alice au Pays de merveilles</em>&nbsp;il appara&icirc;t et dispara&icirc;t, n&rsquo;est pas toujours l&agrave; o&ugrave; il devrait. Pourtant, tel le ph&oelig;nix, il r&eacute;siste aux turbulences et demeure d&eacute;sirable. Je laisse aux participantes et participants de ce num&eacute;ro le soin de l&rsquo;aborder frontalement.</p> <h3>Abstract</h3> <p>There is such a thing as a good documentary, like the cat in <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>, it appears and disappears, and is not always where it should be. Yet, like the phoenix, it resists turbulence and remains desirable. I&#39;ll leave it to the participants in this issue to tackle it head on.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong></p> <p>Ir&egrave;ne Omelianenko, sound documentary, Pascale Tison, David Collin,&nbsp;Addor, web-documentary, The Federated Sounds, Cinema for your ears, multichannel sound</p>
