For the New Year, it’s time to give your YouTube subscriptions a boost.
Literature, martial combat, football, rhetoric, history and video games. Here is the very heterogeneous selection of YouTube channels that we present to you for this month of January 2022. You can also find Numerama on YouTube, with new videos every week. See you in a month for a new edition!
Communicate!
Jade Grandin de l’Eprevier is a journalist at Opinion. But she is also a videographer on YouTube, with her channel Communiquons! Through his videos, we review certain oratory techniques to get by in a discussion or to more easily persuade an audience. Practice, especially a few months before the presidential election, so as not to be (too) fooled.
Weaponism
Who wins between a fencer and a kendoka? Can someone practicing nunchaku get the better of a swordsman? And what does a face-to-face encounter between daitōryū aikijūjutsu and nitoshikageryu? Here are some fundamental questions that the Weaponism YouTube channel seeks to answer, by confronting various martial disciplines.
Video Games and History
Can video games be used as a medium for learning history? This is what the Video Games and History channel is interested in, run by Romain Vincent, professor of history and geography and doctoral student on the educational uses of video games. It is a question of seeing how the past is represented, but also if certain titles can give rise to use in class.
Antastesialit
For those who love literature, the Antastesia channel should find followers. The content is rich, with videos that last a few tens of minutes, or even the equivalent of a one-and-a-half-hour lesson. Named Antastesialit, the channel talks about writers, translation, intertextuality, etc. Note, a series of videos on African literature, little known.
Romain Molina
This is a channel that should appeal to football fans: Romain Molina devotes most of his channel to talking about football news. The woes of Olympique Lyonnais, the Arab football cup or even the TV rights of the matches were discussed. But sometimes, we find a little parenthesis on another sport, such as basketball or Formula 1.
