The aim of this article is to examine the choices made by the first sedentary populations of the Paris basin in the location of their settlements. Using a well-researched study zone, settlement data for the Paris basin Late Bandkeramik (RRBP) and the Villeneuve-Saint-Germain (VSG) are analysed. Thirty-five settlements have been included in the study. After analysis of site distribution suggesting a territorial network on a regional scale in the RRBP, the second stage was the definition of descriptive attributes relating to choice of settlement location. An attempt was thus made to go beyond the descriptive criteria customarily used in locational approaches and to define the subsistence zone (finage) of a settlement. Thus the possible development of a differential system of exploitation of the environment is envisaged, making «intensive » use of the immediate surroundings of a site and «extensive » use of more distant territory. This pattern seems to match the currently available pollen evidence which shows that the impact of human activities on the forest is not detectable in the Early Neolithic, beyond the immediate surroundings of sites. Multivariate analysis of spatial information using GIS shows that although the environment appears to play a significant role, there is no simple determinism in the choice of location. This analysis also underlines the relatively complex dynamics of settlement, involving quite diverse choices of location from an early stage in the local RRBP sequence, which are not restricted in the Aisne region to the large terraces overlooking the floodplain in the main valley. With the VSG, there is a marked process of expansion and most often there is no settlement continuity with the Bandkeramik. In fact VSG sites located on or within 200 m of RRBP sites are very rare. Most settlements are newly created. The choice of location is remarkably varied, compared to the RRBP. On a small scale, these are areas never used by the RRBP, according to current field data. So this is not simply more dense occupation of areas already settled. The model would rather seem to be one of broad expansion, but with a more dispersed pattern. This first approach to defining the subsistence zones of settlements will be pursued in future work by adding data on population estimates for RRBP villages, as well as looking at food resources within the territories defined in this article, by taking into consideration factors such as arable yields, herding of livestock, hunting and gathering.

One of the most pressing questions in the transition we are experiencing from a book-based culture to a screen-based culture is the place which will be preserved for the reading of literary texts. How can we maintain, in a digital culture, complex relationships with texts when their reading no longer involves the same actions as before, with the codex being replaced by a computer screen? To begin this reflection, we will start with a description of what reading is, of Ben Marcus. This brief presentation will allow us on one hand, to reflect on the actions involved in this practice, regardless of the device used (the book or the screen); and, on the other hand, to present an hypermedia work, essentially multimodal, Principes de gravité, by Sébastien Cliche. The particularity of this 2005 work is that it is introduced as a book, but a book set on a computer screen. It is a web project taking the shape of a book, i.e. with pages, a cover, a table of contents, an index, and so on. But this book challenges the logic that prevails when reading it: to advance in Principes de gravité, is to go backwards; to accumulate is to squander; and to read is ultimately to undo the book. We end up understanding that this book was not meant to be read! Consulted, explored, viewed, yes; but read in its entirety, no. We will see, at the end of this article, what that means.

The Premiers Peuples project, or p1P project, part of the MultiNumériC Action Research project, was designed to help Grade 6 students become better citizens by developing their understanding of the realities of First Peoples of Quebec and Canada. It is part of an initiative to co-create pedagogical projects to support the development of digital competence through multimodal media literacy among students. As part of the p1P project, students were able to mobilize these skills in addition to those linked to other areas of learning, including the social sciences. The co-creation experience is presented in four stages: portrait, process, project and production. Students were invited to develop and update their knowledge of First Peoples' realities, with a particular focus on present-day realities. Following a planned process (get informed, choose, produce and circulate), the students were able, through digital productions, to highlight the learning they wanted to share with their peers and the community. The Premiers Peuples project showed that collaboration between the academic and research communities is both possible and fruitful.

SummaryThis paper presents the preliminary results of a much broader research on neo-liberal political discourse in Quebec and Canada since the beginning of the 1980s. On the basis of an in-context lexicometric content analysis (computer assisted), the authors examine the main ministerial reports and statements produced under Robert Bourassa's Liberal provincial government in power since 1985. They attempt, by means of a dominantly descriptive approach, to determine the main characteristics of a new discourse which shows a tendency to break with liberal and providential modernities and to propose a transformed representation of community space, social relationships and ethics, which are, according to the authors, areas favored in political discursiveness.

The Identity stakes of information influence : the case of Japan New information and communication technologies have the potential to affect the social and economic organization of a country. Instead of analysing those technologies in term of "impact" on the Japanese economy and society, we will pay attention to the simultaneous emergence of an electronic information industry and of a new kind of social and economic relations. The identity of the Japanese economy and society reflects a specific mode of information exchange. The Japanese will to develop an information industry, moreover on an international scale, contains identity stakes we will try to analyse.

This exploratory research aims to identify the accommodation and support measures, the challenges and the needs, for students with disabilities in teaching internship context. By answering an online questionnaire, 158 SH trainees in teaching in Belgium and Quebec, affirm, for the most part, that their situation of disability has repercussions on their internships. Their main challenges and needs are related to organization and written communication. However, few accommodation and support measures have been established during the internship.

In Switzerland, at the end of their initial vocational education, retail apprentices take a practical examination at the company where they are being trained. This examination, which is both certifying and eliminating, lasts between one and one and a half hours, depending on the type of training. It is conducted by two professionals in the field known as examiners. The objectives of this study are, firstly, to understand the validity attributed to the practical examination by the examiners and, secondly, to define the reasons for this assessment. To achieve this, a sample of 189 examiners answered a questionnaire on the validity of this examination. The data were processed by exploratory factor analysis, and three expert profiles were extracted by latent classes. The results of this study highlighted the heterogeneity of the examiners profiles. They differ according to their experience as examiners and their language.
