 The artistic and cultural activities on Bordeaux university campus (1968-1995). Modernization forms of an educational framework, innovations and mechanisms of inertia 
The study investigates the progressive establishment of cultural and artistic activities on Bordeaux university campus between 1968 and 1995. Different fields contribute to these installations : film clubs, music and theater. In contrast, the field of visual arts is clearly behind despite opportunities such as decorative presence of several monumental sculptures of contemporary art, setting up of the visual arts teaching sector. The analysis of the written press, the identification of the actors involved and the passing of a dozen interviews permit to see how forms of university modernization are dependent on singular reference scales : between hopes linked to the opening of the fine arts school to the university and academic contraints specific to the Old continent, realization of artistic potentiality for music and theater inspired by everyday life on North American campuses.
