This contribution proposed by a multidisciplinary group of veterinary and political scientists gives an analysis of the transformations of an epidemiosurveillance system dedicated to animal diseases, when confronted to new emerging threats in the wake of global changes, within the frame of risk management. The research field refers to the emergence of bluetongue virus serotype 8 in 2006 in Belgium. This research is complemented with the results of a recent survey based on Delphi method involving relevant public servants and scientists, which showed that most of the means proposed by the authorities are based on the logic of known risk management. However we can identify attempts for renewal and organisational learning, especially with the proposal of a new vigilance system. This system develops two dimensions (prevention and anticipation of the catastrophe) and tries to accommodate the surveillance system reactivity against uncertain events. Finally the article draws two drivers for change, by admitting the persistence of unavoidable uncertainty and by recognising the importance for opening up expert knowledge.

This article describes how the loneliness of older people who live with their spouse who needs help or support on a daily basis is expressed and how temporalities are mobilized when this loneliness is evoked. Even though rarely mentioned explicitly during the interviews, the analyses show that loneliness is found in many “folds” of the existence of these spouses, and that the experience of caregiving multiplies the conditions of its manifestation. To sustain a daily caregiving situation, which becomes more and more intense in the present, these spouses rely heavily on the evocation of a conjugal past and a continuity of identity. As for the future, it is difficult to apprehend because, even when exhausted, they know that it is the disappearance of the other who awaits them and a “new” life in which they will have to rebuild themselves, alone.

This paper proposes to explore the emergence of demonstration practices in the field of energy efficiency buildings, following in this the approach diffused by the european policies of technological innovation. To do so, it looks at the European CONCERTO program and the French project of Caserne De Bonne, the first french eco-district. After a conceptual insight into the works about the demonstration practices (i), this paper gives some context on the Lisbon Strategy and outlines the ambitions of the European CONCERTO (ii), then it pays attention to the project of the eco-district of De Bonne (Grenoble, France) through a multi-scalar analysis (local, national, european) (iii), before opening a discussion on the issue of time into demonstration practices and their contradictory effects in terms of learning and collective dissemination (iv).

Malaria still is today one of the most fatal pandemic disease of southern countries. The majority of populations at risk live in sub-Saharan Africa. It's indeed a vector-borne disease deeply linked with a hot and wet climate. But the prediction models of malaria, mainly based on climate, fail to explain the spatial and temporal variability of transmission observed on the very fine scale of a rural village. Shortcomings of the main models based on climatic and entomological knowledge on a micro-scale are due to the difficulty of collecting sharp climatic data and other socio-economic variables that determine the vulnerability of populations – poorly taken into account so far in the prediction of malaria risk. Fieldwork in Tori Bossito, a rural district in southern Benin, has allowed analyzing the socio-eco-environmental factors of malaria on a local scale. Results confirm the great spatial heterogeneity of transmission on a very fine scale, and show that it is linked to factors of vulnerability identified at the household scale.

The demographic increase of deer on the massif des Vosges now induces a situation which according to the actors has never yet been reached. The comeback of the savage, this rewilding of the territory, gives rise to oppositions with regard to the use of forest and agricultural resources. Today, the scale of competition between competitive uses of the environment is high. A survey with the users of the massif des Vosges (East of France), provides information on the values and representations mobilized by the actors. If the definition of the values attributed to the forest area and deer seems individual, it is linked to the trajectory of the individual, that is, to his or her belonging groups, including his profession and status in an organization such as an association, a trade union, a public enterprise. The status appears to have a major influence.

For several years now, the Nionwentsio Office of the Huron-Wendat Nation has carried out research in archives and on oral tradition regarding the historic presence of the Huron-Wendat within their ancestral territory. The results of this work are used, notably, to protect heritage areas and identify areas of archaeological potential required as part of forest harmonization processes, and provincial and federal consultations. The Huron-Wendat Nation has become increasingly involved in archaeology in Québec, as well as in Ontario. Archaeology has been implemented recently to support the Huron-Wendat Protected Area Project in the Ya'nienhonhndeh – Lac à Moïse area, which is part of the Réserve faunique des Laurentides. In 2016 and 2017, archaeology summer schools were held in this region in collaboration with Laval University and led to significant discoveries. The use of archaeology by the Huron-Wendat Nation also raises important ethical questions, particularly regarding the policies developed by the Québec Ministry of Culture and Communications and the ownership of discovered artifacts.

Reading pedagogy has undergone considerable changes since the 2005 educational reform of the Quebec Education Program (QEP) and the progressive integration of ICTs and multimodal competencies (Lebrun, Lacelle & Boutin, 2012). Epistemologically speaking, phenomenology in reading pedagogy still holds in terms of its need to be adapted in light of these changes. Supported by SSHRC, this study examines the aesthetic transactions between CEGEP readers and Incendies, a print-based play and its film adaptation. Following a recent study on 9th grade students' reactions to text in which we demonstrated that reading was a multimodal act (White et Lemieux, in print; Lemieux et Lacelle, 2016) and inspired by relevant studies on the reading-viewing theory (Lacelle, 2009, 2012), I present the results from a case study tracing moments of engagement with Incendies through modal (book) and multimodal (film) forms. This study provides epistemological and empirical avenues for future research in reading and literature pedagogy.

From art to the humanities, how to get students to take advantage of artworks in museum context using mobile, digital devices? We present the implementation of a research and development project between the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Montreal primary schools for the design and testing of a museo-techno-didactic device. This device uses a prototype application for mobile technologies we have designed and affords a museum experience at the intersection of the visual arts and the humanities. After outlining the design process and testing the device with 3 different third-grade classes, we explore its potential for social science reasoning in contact with works of art, specifically in terms of the interpretation of works of figurative art for their documentary value. Analysis of videos made shows the value of the device to stimulate and collect students' thinking but also demonstrates some weaknesses in the contextualization of the works, possibly related to limited knowledge with respect to past contexts that have been studied.

In fall 2013, the Parti Québécois proposed the Quebec Charter of Values (Bill 60), which aimed to secularize the provincial government, namely by prohibiting the wearing of religious symbols by public employees. Once tabled, the bill was subject to fierce and sometimes nasty debates about the status of religion, and in particular Islam, in Quebec. This text offers a thematic analysis of ten Facebook pages in support of the bill. It attempts to determine the political nature of the arguments that these pages present and examines the question of the emergence of an extreme right in Quebec by drawing from discussions of the extreme right and radical right in the current European research literature. The text concludes that the arguments and themes developed on these Facebook pages are indicative of a movement of the “radical right.”
