The study of cultural scenes in the early 1990s has rapidly been assimilated to the field of popular music studies, in an attempt to find an alternative to the notions of counter-culture and subculture. The polysemy and plasticity of the term have given way to often disparate efforts at thematizing the sonority or « sound » of a city. Whereas sound does provide rhythm and effervescence to urbanity, doesn't images also provide, beyond a mere decor, a proper life to, and embodiement of, the city ? This article provides a reflection on the concept of scene from the somewhat neglected angle of the visual culture studies. How does images become performative, and come to stage in forming a cultural overproduction ? How does the circulation of images generate new experiences of sociality ? Taking examples from street art and calligraffiti in Montreal – together with echoes in Paris, Beyruth and Tunis. As an articulation of the local, the translocal and of the virtual, these emergent practices allow us to understand how the circulation and visibility of images can generate new political and cultural codes and stakes, in the new contemporary context of cultural heterogeneity, artistic hybridization and social controversies.

The stronger the GAFA's influence, the more we become aware of the fragility of the democratic societies that engendered them. The decline of the press and professional journalism increases the risk of large-scale manipulations that the crowd does not know how to guard against. The largest digital companies are aware of the risks they pose to us all, but do not know and can not stave off them in the context of the fierce competition that forces them to seek ever more ways to capture everyone's attention.

This study aims to understand what are the information research practices of graduate students in four francophone educational faculties in Quebec (Canada). A questionnaire answered by 268 students doing their masters degree or their Ph.D. shows that most of them conduct their information research at home rather than at the university. They also mostly use academic databases even if only a third consider themselves to be expert users. More than half declare having difficulties when they search for information, notably for linguistic reasons, information rarity, overload and access. Results are discussed in light of relevant literature and recommendations are made to improve information research practices by graduate students in education.
