This case study aims to trace the transformation of the Temps libre solidarity cooperative from its creation up to the progressive implementation of a self-managed organizational model by its members. Through this investigation, we attempt to understand in what ways the transformations and self-managed practices observable at Temps libre challenge theories on the modes of organization of cooperatives and can contribute to their theoretical and practical renewal in the social economy. This work of periodization allows us to trace the changes in values and ideas as well as in the tools and practices of self-management. We argue that this transformation does not include the creation of new practices but rather a gradual shift towards a self-managed model, marked by a succession of discoveries and lessons.

The possibilities offered by geographic information systems (GIS) to locate, analyse and represent spatial data have transformed many researchers into cartographers. This paper addresses this phenomenon by presenting a historical cultural atlas project conducted by a multidisciplinary team, which illustrates the difficulties and limitations of digital mapping projects and their contribution to transdisciplinary research.

This analysis of behaviour in a virtual environment shows that interactional conventions are transposed rather than modified. Immersed in the world of Palace, the main French-language chat room, the authors have identified the existence of a highly codified community. They describe the functioning of this community in detail, from a Goffmanian point of view.

In many countries we observe that married couples tend to manage their money jointly, while couples in common-law unions are more inclined to manage it separately. The aim of this article is to determine whether these differences are also present in Quebec, where free unions are widespread, and to identify variables other than marital status which may explain these differences. The study is based on an unpublished survey (n = 3246) carried out in Quebec in 2015 by Belleau et al. (2017) focusing on the economic arrangements between couples and the legal issues attached to these. The results of two logistic regression analyses confirm the existence of an explanatory model which enables us to better understand income sharing and which takes account of variables such as : the length of time lived together, presence or absence of children of the couple, being co-owners of property, and legal knowledge. The authors argue for the urgent necessity for private, social and fiscal legislation to be adapted to the real situations of couples in Quebec, no matter whether married or unmarried.

AbstractThese past ten years have witnessed two cultural phenomena: 1) communication and its exponential development in every domain, 2) micro-computing and the PCs, whose increase in power has been inversely proportional to their cost. This evolution in our everyday life has also had an impact on the human translator, who can now afford, without going too much into debt, to have a high performance PC and a modem at home. These two give him both a window opening onto the world of terminological information and a user-friendly tool to make the most of it. SYSTRAN too has adapted to this evolution. Instead, it is no longer that huge system which only international organizations and multinational concerns could afford to use. Nowadays, anyone can use SYSTRAN, from home or the office, thanks to a whole series of inexpensive access possibilities: EXPRESS TRANSLATION, Minitel services, electronic bilingual dialogues. Today, SYSTRAN users can also influence machine translation by creating their own personal “preference” and “default” glossaries: SYSTRAN will take them into account during lexical choice. Accessibility and flexibility have become the imperatives MT and MAT must meet in the '90s.
