Taking a cinematographic figure as a starting point (the mounting staircase shot in Ariane Mnouchkine's 1978 film Molière), this article examines a form of temporality that is inherent to the archival gesture and is contained in the tension between a conserved present and a past projected from the perspective of its future ending. This, in turn, allows for a better understanding of the displacements at work within the temporality of digital environments.

This chapter presents some experiences of on-line collaborative writing for language learning. It questions the specificities of supports which aim is not originally educational, such as wiki, blog, forum. We present learning environments organised in the field of Language Sciences and Foreign Language, for students of both graduate and post-graduate levels. We show how research can foster and guide these experiences. The discussion concerns the pedagogical questions that arose throughout the analysis of these environments.

Our research is a reflection on the practices of information awareness of students who are preparing a library master in France to be teacher-librarians. This study also aims to get a better knowleddge of who are the students training to become teacher-librarians and their needs. The data comes from a quantitative and qualitative investigation that put into place a singular framework from the cooperative engineering field to bring together research and training. The main results emphasize that students did not necessarily acquire sufficient digital professional and that the development of sustainable info-communication practices among students are likely to enhance their professionalism.

Supplementary health insurance organisations, which include mutuals, occupational schemes and insurance companies, have been gradually entering the online healthcare market. This article envisages three possible scenarios that would have different impacts on the health system depending upon the role assigned to the supplementary health insurance organisations operating in this market. Looking at the consequences of the development of online healthcare by these organisations, the authors highlight two main issues : the selection of risks covered and the development of healthcare networks that skirt compulsory health insurance regulations.

On some online social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Google+, people connect with professional and personal contacts, and share work and non-work information (e.g., stats, photos, videos). This creates a collision of the different social circles, which otherwise, in everyday life, tend to be segmented. The consequences of this collision may be very beneficial or on the contrary very detrimental to interpersonal relationships and professional reputations. This paper analyzes boundary management between work and non-work identities on online social networks as a digital competency and a form of digital cultural capital à la Bourdieu (1979). First, we argue that boundary management between work and non-work identities can be understood as a competency. Second, we explain how the publicly mediated interactions on online social networks differ from direct and privately mediated interactions, which implies that the boundary management competency needs to be transposed in the digital social world. We then illustrate this digital competency by presenting a typology of four online boundary management strategies on online social networks. Last, we analyze this competency as a form of digital cultural capital that individuals incorporate. We argue that this digital capital acts as a symbolic capital that enables the development and maintenance of an individual's social capital.

The authors present an innovative pedagogy: an integrated reference and document delivery system in a department of economic and administration sciences offering undergraduate and graduate programs. The system provides a public portal, a truly public service providing access to the bibliographic resources available as well as to multimedia aids that explain the techniques used to access documents. This service, initially offered within the department, has become widely accessible anywhere a professor, manager or student is working on a real situation in a global context.

From the arrival of mobile devices to government regulations calling on public and parapublic services to modernize, all while being dominated by the technological giants (Amazon, Google, Netflix, Spotify, etc.), numerous elements call public and national libraries, as well as national archives around the world, to deeply transform themselves. How to continue to serve our users, turned digital citizens, well? How can we understand the consequences of a technological omnipresence on the habits of users and their expectations of our services? How to design our digital products for all users without penalizing others, thus gather, retain and disseminate knowledge grow in complexity over time?The article presents the result of a recent study on personas, conducted by Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ). A presentation summary of the institutional context exposes its vision and the project that materialize to improve the online experience of its users. Then, the implemented methods used to reach the objectives are addressed.

Background On numerous islands of the Pacific, under various names, there are people considered to be neither men nor women but half-men/half-women. In French Polynesia, there is a sociological and anthropological condition called RaeRae or Mahu. A RaeRae is a man who behaves as and considers himself to be a woman. RaeRae and Mahu are good examples of culture-bound transsexuality or cross-dressing. Being Mahu has a cultural meaning, recognized in the history of Polynesian society, and cannot be considered as a medical or psychiatric condition. Being RaeRae extends the transformation to possible hormone therapy and surgery; the traditional social role (education, tourism) of Mahu is retained but in some cases is influenced by prostitution and at-risk homosexuality.Bibliographic sources and method We conducted a literature search using several medical, social, and anthropological bibliographic sources (MedLine, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, DUMAS). We used the terms RaeRae, Mahu, Polynesian androphilia, and Polynesian sexuality. We found 20 articles and theses. Some articles discuss a very similar condition in Samoa (fa'afafine). In addition, Mahu seems to be a derogatory term for a male homosexual or drag queen in the Hawaiian Islands.Results and contents RaeRae and Mahu is broadly defined as men with sweetness [OK?] or women who are prisoners of men's bodies. There is evidence of their presence and social functions in ancient times. The arrival of the missionaries and Christian morality resulted in the emergence of a new moral and sexual order. RaeRae and Mahu remain present and visible today. They are integrated into local professional and cultural life and are accepted, as long as their sexuality remains unspoken and invisible, which is more difficult for RaeRae. We describe the phenomenon and its context and the sociocultural hypotheses. We retain a reference connected to tacit knowledge of Polynesian sacrificial rites: Mahu did not undergo sacrifices the victims of which had to be men. A general discussion must be envisaged concerning the DSM-5, transgender identity and stigmatization. For instance, in Hawaii, people who identify as transgender continue to suffer high rates of violence, sexual assault and discrimination. The description contributes to an investigation of the limits of considering gender as binary; rather, it is a continuum not governed by the medicalization and psychologization of a cultural feature, which is also recognizable in other cultural areas including among the Amerindians. Studying RaeRae and Mahu in Polynesia means agreeing to confront the binary concept that structures and divides the world into two categories of gender and sex, male and female, just like grammatical gender in French. Examples from other cultures include the new half in Japan, muxe or muché among the Zapotecs of Tehuantepec, woubi in Côte d'Ivoire, femminielli in Italy, ladyboys or kathoeys in Thailand, natkadaw in Myanmar, hijra in India and Pakistan, khounta in Arab Islamic culture, and in Canada and the USA, agokwa among the Ojibwa, and ikoneta in the Illinois language. Mahu, or transgendered individuals and transvestites, were in fact viewed by the ancient Hawaiians as a normal element of the old social culture that preceded missionary days and American and French military missions. Mahu were not merely tolerated; they were regarded as a legitimate and contributory part of the ancient Polynesian community.
