Relay-Arts (Arts-Relais)

Again its a phrase which is particular to Schaefer and this is how it is normally translated, the first time put the french (or english) in brackets and then afterwards not necessary.

"In 1941 he subsumed cinema and radio under the notion of relay-arts, likening their media to an instrument whose dual role was ‘to retransmit in a certain manner what we used to see or hear directly and to express in a certain manner what we used not to see or hear"
