Through a review of the temporal statuses of cinema (re-presentation) and of live broadcasts (over-presentation), the author suggests that digital imaging (simulation) is essentially different from both cinema and television because of its dialogic or interactive character. Two broad temporal categories enter into the discussion: the time of seeing and the time of making. The author examines digital technology as a representative of a new aesthetic in which time is achronic and in which the act of figuration remains incomplete without the presence of the viewer: the time of seeing is also, in a different way and concurrently, the time of making.

Interdisciplinary family mediation as carried on in Québec leads to the drafting of an agreement dealing with all facets of a couple's separation. It covers the sharing of parental responsibilities (children custody), partaking in property and financial contributions (support), while favouring the continuity of a functional parental relationship. While the government promotes access to mediation in the case of spouses with children, the legal effects of agreements issuing from family mediation are uncertain and give rise to numerous doctrinal and jurisprudential controverses. The authors first begin by presenting family mediation as it was implemented in Québec. They then demonstrate on the basis of jurisprudential and doctrinal analyses of the legal value of agreements issuing from family mediation, that the law falls short of adapting itself to this means of conflict resolution. In the end, there results uncertainty and disagreement on the legal effects of agreements resulting from such proceedings.

The future Chinese Civil Code, an historical phenomenon, will devote an entire Book to the Torts. On a methodological perspective, this book adopts the method of constant law codification, while introducing some interesting innovations to modernize and moralize legal rules. On a comparative perspective, this part of the Code has numerous peculiarities compared to French Law, which relates to the generating events (fair liability), the causes of exemption and exclusion of liability (acceptance of risks), as well as the system of compensation for damages (marginal place of the principle of full reparation).

Geography and international organisations. Geographers have not devoted much attention to the location and significance of international organisations in urban areas. In the first part, the author attempts to outline a geographical method of approach to their international function. He places within a general framework the various factors which can influence the choice of locality of an organisation and those factors which may be altered by its presence. In the second part, the author takes an actual example. He applies his method to the C.E.R.N. and attempts to show the multiple effects that this organisation has had on the various sectors of the community of Geneva.
