Technological, economic and social changes are leading to a “labour crisis”. And yet, any crisis calls for managerial responses not only at the macro level, but also at the micro level of productive organizations. This raises the question of the way in which managerial teams seize work, identify the associated issues and imagine the actions necessary to respond to these contemporary challenges. A survey of 33 corporate senior executives shows that work, which they put at a distance, is largely delegated to local management. Senior executives limit their concerns to managing only those employees on whom their conception of strategic advantage is based.

A law of Delphi dating from the 2nd c. AD demonstrates that in the imperial period the city made two successive redistributions of land on part of its territory. It has been suggested that the area so redistributed could have been the plateau of Desphina in Mount Kirphis. Is this deduction based on the literary sources confirmed by examination of the terrain? The present article suggests an answer that bears at once on the history of Delphi and on methods of research into ancient cadastral records. In order to discover the fossilised remains of a land division, orthogonal grids were investigated on an {orthophotoplan}, after which an attempt was made through inspection in the field to identify and even to date the lines that could be seen in this way. The method, applied in accordance with expressly defined criteria and limits, does not make it possible with due rigour to affirm the existence of material remains of an ancient redistribution of land on the Desphina plateau.

Abstract. The Old Regime Gazettes. A quantitative Approach to the Analysis of an information space. Studied from the standpoint of a geography of information the gazettes of the Old Regime reveal a European space of news exchange whose periodicity was articulated in structured networks. Its working have been brought to light through a data base of 20.327 news items published in the Gazette de Renaudot from 1647 to 1663, the parameters of a vast statistical study of information (frequence of insertion, linear volume, time lags between news emission and publication). This reveals a coherent distribution system, as well as a sum of discontinuities and ruptures specific to a commodity sensitive to conjuncture. A cartographic presentation reveals both the structure and the development of European news exchange. This approach opens possibilities for comparative analysis over several years and with other periodicals. Particularly noteworthy is that, besides geographic constraints, the study shows the considerable influence of political choice on the organization of circuits of information and the modalities of publication.

To identify digital writing processes, its teaching and assessment, the authors of this study questioned a number of recent databases by subjects (processes, strategies, skills, materiality, genres, and evaluation of digital writing). The paper firstly presents the generic features of digital writing, which are hypertextuality, an adapted design, interactivity, multimodality and collaboration. It then makes 20 recommendations to support its teaching in schools. These recommendations go from technological precautions to ethical issues, through advice about text content, skills to focus on, resource use, and suggestions for teaching.

One of tbe crucial problems in Art Museums is related to tbe way paintings are banging on the walls. But very little empirical research bas been conducted on tbis topic. In psycbology of art few works bear on the perception of series of canvases. Our hypothesis is that the perception ofart works is strongly influenced by the reception of the works that directly precede them. An experimental situation has been constructed which enables to control the sequence of the canvases seen The visitors are interviewed and their comments collected. Our project, following the method of discours analysis, examines the effects of the sequence on their perception.

The development of new networks of telecommunications (telematics, cable, videocommunication, RNIS - digital network with services integration - network of cellular phones...) is greeted by speeches praising their value as communication and transparency tools. The truth is that, inside the frame of obvious technical and financial strains, the network is widely open to the needs and desires for information and self-expression of the users who sometimes invent even non-intented uses, as shown by the example of a certain kind of electronic mail, box based on the French « Minitel » : the « Messageries ». Those news tools, however, can't just be considered as remunerated facilities for communication. Like the Roman god Janus, the network has a double face : one is smooth, transparent, and known by the user, and the other, more secret, is not apparent and the user ignores its existence. Through precise examples, it is this dark face that one intends to reveal. For operators and media people, networks are means to accomplish, unknow from the user, a certain number of operations.
