An attempt to give to the geographer, newcomer in microcomputing, a wide view upon the reasons and the ways to use a microcomputer. The first part analyses the structure of a microcomputer and its peripherals, with a special attention to graphic devices and reviews the different levels of software. The second part gives an idea of the numerous occasions where a microcomputer can be useful to the geographer: instrumentation, collecting and processing data, efficient communication of results or geographical knowledge, C.A.I. included.

Hypertext writing : practice into theory. From an experiment on Celine's Rigodon.The making of a sizable hypertext on Celine's Rigodonexemplifies the ressources and ensuing constraints of the medium. Issues, particularly controversial ones such as the author's racism, must be ported but not resolved, enabling the reader to form his/her own judgement. Granular writing exacts clarity and explicitness. It may offer scholars in the humanities a middle-way between belles-lettres and expert systems.

In an effort to better understand the work of elementary school principals in disadvantaged areas in Montréal, this study documents their actual work. Twelve principals self-observed (time-sampling) during 10 days and were observed (shadowing) during three days. We collected data on types of tasks (administrative, educational, social, professional development) principals did. Results show that principals spend twice as much time on administrative tasks than on educational tasks. However, results are different form principals' perceptions about their tasks. Some believe their work is essentially administrative while for others it is mainly educational. We discuss these results and ask questions prompting new directions for research on school principals' work.

AbstractThis article presents an analysis of sex differences observed in playing micro-computer games. The results of the three exploratory studies which are described relate to family use of the micro-computer, the attraction to popular games and a comparison of performance on cognitive tasks measured through computerized games. Analysis of differences based on sex found in micro-computer games is centered principally on the differential acculturation process in the education of boys and girls.

The artistic work in the Internet era joins the creation of interactive artworks with the production of forms of communication and exhibition involving and promoting audience loyalty. This article analyzes these new artistic features and their relational modes in a context where the implementation of art is inseparable from the practice of evolutionary and porous media. At the intersection of the sociology of uses and artistic innovation, this article puts in perspective these new forms of affiliation to Net art, bringing to light new media regimes.

AbstractThis article, partly inspired by theories of wandering and Chantal Chawaf's reflections on writing the body and affectivity, examines the idea that Copies conformes (1989), by Monique LaRue, follows the repeated wanderings of a journeying mother. Locating her between being and action, outside of attributions related to the male/female dichotomy, these wanderings actually suggest what women and men have in common.

AbstractAmplification: a Complex Phenomenon – Research on amplification lies within the scope of a fairly new trend in translatology, corpus-based studies. The aim of this study is to test assertions to the effect that the length of a text always increases in the translating process whatever the languages in use and that the increase can only be attributable to the translator. A corpus of texts containing more than 61,000 words was analyzed. Definitions of concepts, the amplification coefficient for texts in physics, history, and economy, and the relation between amplification produced by the translator's free choices and the amplification caused by differences among linguistic codes are discussed. Preliminary results of some of the analyses are also presented.
