For the OTT service Club Illico, which presents itself as the Quebec Netflix, challenges are great if it wants to compete in an environment where consumers of audiovisual products have access to a vast program offer via a multitude of platforms. How are local players going to be successful in this competition? What strategies are put in place to offer a product that rivals the original offering from cable channels like HBO or portals like Amazon and Netflix? This article addresses these questions by looking at the Quebec series Blue Moon offered exclusively on the Videotron VOD platform (Club Illico).

This review summarises the discussion during the 1st Bioethics Café of 2019, which focused on the theme: “Citizens and their connected objects: what happens to their data?” Three expert panelists and an audience of 70 people participated in this event. The discussion clarified the benefits that connected objects can have, such as empowerment and individual responsibility, but also highlighted some risks such as hyper normativity or the issue of obtaining valid consent. Potential solutions and regulations were proposed by the public and experts. This event was part of a series of three Bioethics Cafés held in Montreal and Quebec City on the subject of ethics, health and data.

This article is a reflection on an attempt to create a space of flux through the concepts of positionality, vā and talanoa within the design academy. This was presented as an academic course, originally intended to address a gap in established learning, and to make space for intergenerational knowledge systems that were originally being shared outside of the studio (shared at the knee, through office hours, and in passing conversations). This sharing led to key questions regarding how we (re)craft our ways through our practices and what cultural conditions are needed to enable safe design and cultural production. Five students enrolled in the course and are featured as co-authors in this article. They whakapapa as Tangata whenua (Māori, people of the land) or Tagata o le Moana (specifically Sāmoan). They are enrolled in a range of design disciplines such as spatial design, fashion design, and concept design. Classes were held once a week over a 12- week semester period. These in-person classes involved reflecting and re-presenting our positional contexts, a sharing and setting of kai, hikoi to gallery exhibitions featuring Māori and Pacific art practitioners at an institutional level and a community level, alongside the sharing of scholarship developed on the concepts of vā and talanoa, while coming back to ourselves and our familial, generational social settings.

Connectivity has become in a few years the unsurpassable horizon of all sociability. But its main operators, and particularly Facebook, have shown neither the willingness nor the ability to guide their services according to the exchanges most favorable to the enrichment of interpersonal relationships. The global strategy of the major digital media groups is indifferent to the effects of their location in many societies where the circulation of rumors has deleterious effects. From Kenya to Brazil and from Burma to the United States, we see the challenge of avoiding digital outbursts during election campaigns or political crises that social networks exacerbate rather than temperate.

This paper analyses the structuring of a territorial innovation ecosystem (Niort Tech) as well as its individual, inter-organizational and institutional influences. We propose a grid of analysis of this ecosystem based on an approach in Evolutionary Economic Geography (via proximities), supplemented with theoretical contributions on Institutional Entrepreneurship. We identify a diversity of influence of proximities on this ecosystem. The latter is built mainly through “coopetition” between mutualist insurers and depends essentially on their resources. At this step, it seems to be a path dependency on the insurance and mutualist, with no real reflection of the sector in the future.
