Based on a qualitative study conducted in Kabylie, Algeria, this article analyses the time management of Algerian employers at the moment when the country was undergoing its transition from a strongly dirigiste model of development to a market economy, including all that involved for individuals' attitudinal and behavioural change with respect to time as well as to work. The article focuses particularly on conflicts arising from the time frames of industrial production and religious practice. These led to a significant negotiation between employer and employee.

We live primarily in a digital space. The structure of the territory first appears to us by means of the mediation of digital devices, ones predominately owned by large multinational corporations. This situation implies a huge risk – that of remaining passive while private companies organize and develop these spaces for us. How might we avoid this risk? Is it possible, in the digital age, for us to be central to the production of the spaces in which we live? How might literature constitute a tool for the production of the spatial imaginary that enables us to reappropriate the places and territories managed by the information industry? This paper addesses these questions and attempts to show, on the basis of the theory of editorialization, how writing can be a way of producing the space in which we live.

China is putting increasing emphasis on new tourism strategies. This article examines the development of cultural routes and their importance in the heritage policy process and in projects conducted in Guizhou province. Who are the players involved and which projects best contribute to the introduction or communication of innovative governance practices or processes? Guizhou, a mountainous province in the south-west of the country, includes diverse minority population groups, including Miao, Dong, all with amazing cultures expressed in their music, embroidery, arts and crafts, architecture and approach to the landscape. Studies and research carried out in collaboration with our Shanghai partners examined both material and immaterial factors in heritage protection and promotion. The construction of infrastructure facilities has led to improved access to these isolated sites and to increased internationalization of communications about them. How can living conditions for the inhabitants of this region be improved and how can their increasingly fragile heritage cultures be protected in the face of powerful forces of social change, and dissemination by the media of a single model for modernization?

Relating narratives around one's usage of massive multiplayer online games may look similar to a sociocultural impregnation and to a tribute paid by the player to a persistant ludic universe. However, fan fiction writing may also stand in opposition to the game and break with the continuity of the universe in order to assert a particular identity to the player and affirm speficific social relations within his team. Game editors tolerate this narrative poaching and the diversity of “using trajectories” because these practices do not put in jeopardy the fundamental unity of the game. Fan fictions would actully be profitable for the game which inexorably “swallows everything” by using these narratives as unofficial narratives that fovors its expansion.

This paper examines the representation of working-class groups by a sample of well-known German rappers and the way that this representation is changing over time within a political and economic context characterized by new social and economic inequalities. These rappers have some notable points in common, including their way of asserting a working-class identity above other identities and their Marxist-related ideas, chief among them the “class struggle” and the “dictatorship of the proletariat.”
